The property is well positioned, has a background of mature trees forming part of an adjacent Victorian garden and is situated in a prime residential area five minutes walking distance from Newark town centre. The attractive frontage, with wrought iron railings and an entrance gate, lead to a gravelled driveway providing ample off road parking for two cars. The landscaped gardens by Chelsea Flower Show Gold winning designers are enclosed and located at the rear of the property. The former outbuilding has been insulated and converted to provide a home office or studio, ideal for home working.
The property would suit those seeking a period family home with flexible living accommodation close to the town centre amenities and mainline railway station offering fast trains to London. Beacon Hill Road is a highly regarded residential area with the convenience of town centre amenities within walking distance. Newark Northgate railway station is close by and has fast trains connecting to London King's Cross with journey times of approximately 75 minutes. Additionally Newark Castle station has trains connecting to Nottingham and Lincoln. There are nearby access points for the A1 and A46 dual carriageways.

The property is constructed in a local stone with part brick, part rendered elevations under a slate roof. Part of the property is believed to date back to the Georgian period and may have served as a Gate Lodge for the Queen Anne House located near the property. The later extensions to the property are likely to be Edwardian and a superb architect designed garden room extension which is timber framed with chestnut cladding under a zinc roof covering was added in 2010.
