A spacious four-double-bedroom semi-detached cottage set in a semi-rural village location, Jockey House Cottage combines period charm with versatile family living space. The house offers four reception rooms (one formerly a garage), a well-appointed breakfast kitchen, utility and cellar space — useful for storage, hobbies or conversion subject to survey. Large bay windows and exposed timbers give character while gardens surround the home on two levels, providing safe outdoor play space and room for growing plants.
Practical commuting is straightforward: the A1 is easily accessible and Retford rail links reach London King’s Cross in around 1 hour 30 minutes. Off-street parking for 3–4 vehicles and an external water and power supply add convenience for family life or outdoor projects. The property is offered chain-free, which can speed up completion for buyers wanting a timely move.
Buyers should note a few material points: heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators (oil not on a community supply), the walls are solid brick with no known insulation upgrades, and broadband speeds are reported as very slow — important for home working or streaming. There is a single family bathroom serving four double bedrooms and the council tax band is high (Band E). Prospective purchasers are advised to commission their own service and structural surveys and check heating/fuel arrangements.
This home will suit families seeking roomy accommodation with period detail and outdoor space, and buyers prepared to update heating, insulation or online connectivity to modern standards. The plot is modest but private, surrounded by fields, offering countryside tranquillity with practical transport links.
