Characterful 4-bed barn with paddock and gated driveway, close to village school and Newark.
Four bedrooms, two en-suites and family bathroom
A thoughtfully converted four-bedroom barn set in about an acre of gardens, paddock and orchard, this property combines rural charm with practical family living. The main reception has a semi-vaulted sitting room with a central fireplace and French doors to an expansive Indian sandstone patio — ideal for family entertaining and outdoor play.
The layout is flexible: two ground-floor bedrooms plus a first-floor bedroom with its own separate staircase and en-suite, while a spacious playroom/study on the first floor provides a long, adaptable space for homework, hobbies or a games area (note there is some limited headroom). The breakfast farmhouse kitchen, Rangemaster cooker and separate utility make daily life straightforward for busy households.
Practical points are clear and factual: heating is from an oil-fired boiler (Grant), windows are double glazed and the property sits within a conservation area on a shared private drive. EPC rating C is respectable for an older conversion, but oil heating and the property’s age (constructed before 1900) are factors to consider for long-term running and maintenance costs.
Set under two miles from Newark town centre and within walking distance of Coddington primary school and the village pub, the location balances countryside tranquility with easy access to amenities and commuting routes. For families wanting space, character and outbuildings/paddock potential, this is an attractive, well-presented option; buyers should allow for the usual upkeep of an older, detached barn conversion and review heating and conservation-area restrictions before purchase.
