Tucked close to the banks of the River Trent, this contemporary two-bedroom semi presents an affordable entry into Newark-on-Trent with no onward chain. The ground floor’s open-plan living and dining kitchen creates a bright, efficient living space well suited to first-time buyers who value low-maintenance, modern finishes. Included freestanding fridge/freezer and dishwasher reduce immediate setup costs.
Outside, a fully enclosed gravel courtyard and a shared off-street driveway deliver private outdoor space and parking—uncommon for quarter-house layouts in this development. Practical fittings include uPVC double glazing, gas central heating, and a modern first-floor shower room. Council Tax band A and an EPC C (77) help keep running costs modest.
Buyers should note material negatives: the property sits in a high flood-risk zone and the local area records very high crime and broader deprivation indicators. The home is small at about 563 sq ft and the neighbourhood includes a higher proportion of transient renters, which may affect long-term resale dynamics. A modest residents’ service charge (~£18.90pcm) covers communal upkeep.
This freehold, chain-free quarter house is best for a purchaser seeking a low-fuss starter home or a compact buy-to-let with convenient rail and road links. Inspectors or surveyors should be commissioned to advise on flood mitigation, insurance costs and any security improvements before purchase.
