Kings Newton

Kings Newton is a specific new build homes development by Linden Homes, located off Barrowby Road in Grantham, Lincolnshire (NG31 8NP). The development primarily offers a selection of newly constructed 4 and 5 bedroom detached houses.

Development Overview Kings Newton is a new development of energy-efficient new build homes in the historic market town of Grantham. The property mix focuses on larger family dwellings, with 4 and 5 bedroom houses available, starting from a price point of approximately £385,000. The developer, Linden Homes, is the housebuilding arm of Galliford Try and holds a 5 Star Housebuilder rating from the Home Builders Federation (HBF) in 2025. The properties are designed to offer significant energy savings, with the potential to reduce heating bills by up to 64% compared to older, non-new build homes. All new build properties are backed by a 10-year warranty.

Property Details The available house types include, but are not limited to, the 'Knightley' show home and the four-bedroom detached 'Pembroke' view home. The 'Pembroke' house type, which has been advertised with a Full Market Value (FMV) of £400,000, offers spacious, modern family living. Key features of this style include an open and inviting entrance hall, a separate living room with a bay window, and a large, open-plan kitchen with a dedicated dining and family area that features French Doors opening to the garden. This design incorporates a utility room with rear access and a ground floor study, making it well-suited for hybrid or remote working. Upstairs, the property provides four generous double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefiting from an en-suite bathroom. Each property of this type includes a single garage and two allocated parking spaces. Purchasers should consult the developer for plot-specific specifications, which may vary.

Grantham Train Station, situated on the East Coast Main Line, offers direct, fast rail links. The fastest journey time to London King’s Cross is as little as 1 hour and 2 minutes via LNER and Hull Trains services. Regional commuting is also straightforward, with the fastest train services to Nottingham city centre taking approximately 29-30 minutes.
