Offers over £750,000. Penbury is a beautifully refurbished three-bedroom detached country home in a rural setting, standing in approximately 4.5 acres with established gardens, grazing land and equestrian facilities. The current owners have modernised the house, which also offers potential for a second dwelling, subject to the necessary planning approvals and documentation.
Besthorpe is a village in north-east Nottinghamshire, close to the Lincolnshire border and conveniently located between Newark and Gainsborough. Collingham is approximately five minutes away by car and offers day-to-day amenities including shops, a supermarket, doctors, dentists, hairdressers, newsagents, butchers, leisure facilities and a railway station. The historic market town of Newark is approximately 15 minutes away.
The detached house has oil-fired central heating. Room sizes are approximate; please refer to the floor plan. An entrance porch leads to a re-fitted guest cloakroom with wash hand basin and WC, followed by the inner hallway, where stairs rise to the first floor and an understairs cupboard houses the oil-fired boiler.
The recently re-fitted kitchen has wall and base units, quartzite work surfaces and matching splashbacks, double Belfast-style sinks with mixer tap, an integrated dishwasher and a Belling range-style electric oven with extractor above. It also features a front-facing window, ceiling spotlights and wood-effect flooring. The kitchen leads to an inner hall with a rear garden door and access to the dining room and lounge. The dining room is a well-proportioned reception room with a front-facing aspect. The generously sized lounge has dual-aspect windows to the front and rear and an open fireplace with brick surround, tiled hearth and wooden mantel.
The first-floor landing has rear-facing windows and leads to three good-sized bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom is a comfortable double with a front-facing window and an en-suite shower room, fitted with a shower cubicle, wash hand basin set within a vanity unit and WC, complementary wall and floor tiling, and an extractor. The two further bedrooms are both front-facing and have loft access.
The re-fitted family bathroom comprises a rolled-edge claw-foot bath, shower cubicle, wash hand basin set within a vanity unit and WC. It also has a heated towel rail, electric mirror, and tiled walls and floor.
A gravel driveway to the left of the house provides off-road parking and access to an open-fronted potential garage, carport or store. There is another gravelled area with planted borders at the front. An attached brick outhouse or store adjoins the right-hand side of the house.
Formal mature gardens and a lightly wooded area extend to the rear and side. A paved patio behind the house leads to a lawned garden. Beyond the gardens is a timber stable block comprising five stables and an adjoining tack or feed room. Stable 2 is currently divided into two stalls, and Stable 5 serves as a foaling box. A concrete yard with a useful overhang lies in front of the stables.
The vendors have submitted a planning application to Newark and Sherwood District Council for conversion of the stables into a single-storey residential dwelling. The application status and any formal planning documentation should be checked independently.
The predominantly level grazing land lies mainly to the left and rear of the property, with an additional gated access from Sand Lane. It is enclosed by hedged and fenced boundaries and has previously been used for grazing horses and ponies. The property extends to approximately 4.5 acres, or about 1.8 hectares, in all.
