Just three miles northeast of Newark, Winthorpe is a highly regarded village offering a relaxed pace of life, excellent connections, and a warm community feel. With its leafy lanes, village green, and close proximity to the A1 and A46, it’s a favourite choice for families and professionals alike.

A Village with a Strong Community Spirit

Winthorpe is known for its friendly atmosphere and active community. The Winthorpe Community Centre plays host to local events, clubs, and classes throughout the year, while the Winthorpe Village Hall and allotments add to the sense of shared belonging.

The village primary school, rated Good by Ofsted, is a key part of the community, and the nearby All Saints Church adds architectural and historical charm.

Lifestyle & Amenities

While Winthorpe itself maintains a peaceful, rural identity, residents benefit from Newark’s excellent amenities just a few minutes away — including Waitrose, Morrisons, Asda, Aldi, and a new M&S Food Hall. The town centre is home to a wide selection of shops, cafés, restaurants, and Newark’s growing reputation as a “book town,” complete with a Waterstones and several independent and charity bookshops.

Transport & Connections

Commuters will find Winthorpe perfectly positioned for easy access to the A1, A46, and A17, linking to Nottingham, Lincoln, Sleaford, and beyond. Newark Northgate station offers fast trains to London King’s Cross in around 75 minutes, making daily or weekly commuting a realistic option.

Why We Love Winthorpe

For those who value peace, community, and convenience in equal measure, Winthorpe offers it all — a welcoming village with green spaces, good schools, and exceptional access to Newark and major road and rail routes. It’s the ideal balance of rural living and modern connectivity.
