This bay-fronted semi-detached house on Smith Street offers a practical family layout within easy walking distance of Newark town centre and good local schools. The ground floor features a bay-fronted lounge and an open-plan dining kitchen with French doors leading to a generous south-facing rear garden — a rare outdoor space for a town-centre property. The 1930s build and double glazing provide character and basic thermal performance, with gas central heating to keep the home comfortable.
The interior presents a blank-canvas opportunity: the kitchen and some finishes are dated and will benefit from modernization, so the house suits buyers ready to invest time and money to improve layout, fixtures and energy performance. The property has an EPC rating of D and solid brick walls (no known cavity insulation), which should be considered when planning upgrades to heating and insulation.
Practical points for buyers: the home is chain-free and freehold, with on-street parking to the front and an external store to the rear. The plot is modest but the south-facing garden is a clear asset for families. Note the local area has above-average crime statistics and parking is on-street rather than off-road, which may affect some buyers' priorities.
Overall, this property will appeal to families or first-time buyers seeking a centrally located, characterful home with scope to add value through targeted refurbishment and energy improvements. Viewing is recommended to assess how much renovation you want to undertake and to appreciate the garden and school links nearby.
