Property description
This 'chocolate box' style detached cottage would ideally suite a host of different buyers especially two tiered or growing families. It is set on a quiet lane in the sought after village of Carlton-On-Trent, just a short drive from the historic market town of Newark-on-Trent which has direct rail links to London and Nottingham. In addition to it's popular location it is within the catchment area of Tuxford Academy, judged to be outstanding by Ofsted.
The accommodation comprising of six reception rooms, six bedrooms and four bath/shower rooms also offers a host of useful out buildings including a large garage/workshop with a variety of uses and potential. The property further benefits from a solid fuel Aga and a wood burner. Generous off street parking is provided with ample space for cars and a motor home. The cottage has many stunning original and character features including the Gothic style windows. Early viewings are absolutely essential in order to avoid disappointment as period homes like Birch House are rarely available especially with the further potential this home offers.
