Summary - Washtub Lane, South Scarle, Newark, NG23 7JN NG23 7JN
3 bed 1 bath Cottage
Charming three-bedroom cottage on a large plot with original features and ample parking.
Circa 17th-century detached cottage with original oak beams
Home Cottage is a rare, characterful 17th-century detached cottage set on a generous plot in peaceful South Scarle. Original oak beams, two inglenook fireplaces and the historic bread oven give the house strong period appeal, while a long conservatory and well‑landscaped garden create comfortable family living and attractive outdoor space. There is off‑street parking for several cars and a small paddock to the side.
The ground floor follows a traditional layout with a kitchen, dining room, lounge and large conservatory. Upstairs are three double bedrooms, a landing currently used as a library, and a good‑sized family shower room. Double glazing has been added (post‑2002) and broadband is reported fast, supporting modern family needs despite the cottage’s age.
Practical points to note: the property is heated by an oil boiler and uses oil as the main fuel; this may be less convenient or more costly than mains gas. There is a single family bathroom (double shower) and some rooms and services may need updating to suit contemporary expectations. Tenure information is not supplied. The sale is offered with no onward chain, which can speed a move for the right buyer.
This home will suit buyers seeking period character in a rural village — families, downsizers or buyers wanting a countryside base with scope to personalise. The cottage offers immediate charm and further potential, but purchasers should plan for ongoing maintenance and possible modernization of services.
