Corner Cottage is an 18th-century brick home extended over time to provide well-planned family accommodation. It offers three reception rooms, a 21' kitchen, four bedrooms with a master ensuite, and a galleried landing that underlines the property's period character. The double garage with adjoining workshop and a range of brick outbuildings add versatile storage and hobby space. The plot is about 0.3 acre, with lawn, patio and driveway parking — appealing for a family who wants outdoor space in a quiet village setting.
The cottage retains many traditional features such as inglenook fireplaces, exposed beams and original stone base coursing, while most windows are later uPVC double glazing and gas central heating serves the house. Practical day-to-day living is helped by a conservatory, pantry and utility room. Broadband is fast, mobile signal is excellent and local schools and amenities in Newark and Southwell are within easy driving distance.
There are some material issues to note. Walls are principally solid brick and assumed to have no cavity insulation, so upgrading thermal performance may be required; the EPC is to be confirmed. Parts of the property include single-glazed internal windows and the conservatory has a polycarbonate roof — both may need improvement. The site has a medium flood risk and the house will suit buyers who are prepared to manage ongoing maintenance and sympathetic updating rather than a fully modernised turnkey home.
Overall, this is a substantial period cottage with flexible accommodation, generous outbuildings and a large garden — well suited to a family seeking countryside character with scope to improve energy performance and add value.
