* DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY * Cottage * Barn * Potential Building Land * Vehicular Access from Kingsnorth Close

A detached town cottage with a modern extension, providing three bedroomed accommodation, a range of outbuildings including a barn suitable for conversion and land previously granted planning permission for the erection of two dwellings. In all the property extends to 0.227 acre or thereabouts.

The property stands with a walled frontage to Barnby Gate, and vehicular access from Kingsnorth Close to the rear of the property. The cottage built circa 1860, extended just over 30 years ago, and standing in a well stocked cottage garden, is a delightful property with great potential. There is significant development potential with a barn conversion and new dwellings, subject to planning permission.

The accommodation provides, on the ground floor, entrance lobby, lounge with beamed ceiling, open plan kitchen area, sitting room and extended dining area, corridor, bedroom one and shower room. The first floor provides two double sized bedrooms and a family bathroom. Central heating is gas fired.

The barn features original stalls, a loft and stone external steps. Planning permission was granted for the erection of two dwellings under Newark and Sherwood District Council ref 05/00290/OUT April 2005 but not implemented. A note to the applicant stated that the Local Planning Authority would particularly welcome retention and conversion of the existing two storey barn within the site.

The property is situated within a few minutes walking distance of Newark Town Centre. There is ample off-street parking space within the site. The Barnby Gate junior school, with an excellent reputation, is within a comfortable walking distance. Town centre amenities surround the wonderful Georgian market square, St Mary's Church, 12th Century castle and the riverside areas. Newark on Trent is on the main East Coast railway line with fast train services from Newark Northgate to London King's Cross with journey times of just over 75 minutes.
