Development Plot, Hough Lane, Claypole, Newark, Lincolnshire

Farmyard at The Grove comprises a former agricultural farmyard extending to approximately 0.41 hectares (1.01 acres), occupying a central position within the highly regarded village of Claypole. The site incorporates a range of traditional and modern agricultural buildings which previously supported the farming enterprise operating from the yard but are now largely redundant, being primarily used for storage purposes. The property presents an attractive residential development opportunity.

Access is taken directly from Hough Lane, with convenient connections to Main Street, the principal route through the village. The site benefits from an established position within the village, surrounded by existing residential development and local amenities.

Earlier this year, South Kesteven District Council granted outline planning permission (Ref: S25/2177) for the development of up to five detach dwellings.

The area offered for sale does not extend to the full extent of the land subject to the outline planning permission. Prospective purchasers should refer to the sale plan and planning documentation for further details.

The planning consent has been granted in outline only, with matters relating to layout, scale, appearance, landscaping and access reserved for future approval. The site therefore offers purchasers the opportunity to bring forward a high-quality residential scheme tailored to market requirements.

Situation
Claypole is a village in the South Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, situated approximately 4 miles south-east of Newark-on-Trent and immediately east of the A1. The location provides convenient access to Newark, Grantham, Lincoln and Nottingham, together with the wider East Midlands road network via the A1 and nearby A46.

For commuters, Newark Northgate railway station lies within easy reach and provides regular direct services on the East Coast Main Line, with journey times to London King’s Cross of approximately 80 minutes. The station also offers connections to a range of regional and national destinations, enhancing the area’s accessibility for both business and leisure travel.

The village supports a range of everyday services and amenities, including primary school, village hall, recreation facilities, public house and café. A broader range of facilities are available in nearby Newark-on-Trent, including supermarkets, independent retailers, secondary schools, healthcare services, restaurants and leisure facilities.

The surrounding area offers a variety of recreational and cultural attractions. The National Trust’s Belton Estate, located near Grantham, extends to approximately 1,300 acres of historic parkland, gardens and woodland walks. The site is also well placed to explore the wider Lincolnshire countryside, the Trent Valley and the Vale of Belvoir, all of which provide extensive opportunities for walking, cycling and outdoor pursuits.

Claypole’s strong transport links, established village amenities and access to major regional centres make it an attractive location for new residential development.
