Set on a generous plot of just under an acre, Knapthorpe House presents an exciting opportunity for a new owner to modernise and create a truly special home in a beautiful rural setting.
Located in the quiet hamlet of Knapthorpe, the property enjoys peaceful surroundings and open countryside views, while remaining within easy reach of nearby towns and transport routes.
The property lies just 5 miles from the highly sought-after town of Southwell, known for its excellent schools, shops, and cafes, and 7 miles north of the historic market town of Newark-on-Trent, which offers a full range of amenities. The village of Caunton, with its well-regarded pub and primary school, is only a mile away.
This location also offers excellent transport connections. From Newark, there is a direct rail service to London King’s Cross (taking around 75 minutes), as well as fast links to Lincoln, Nottingham, and Leeds. The A1 and A46 major road networks are both easily accessible, making the area ideal for commuters looking for countryside living with strong connectivity.
The accommodation, which would benefit from updating, is full of original charm and offers great scope for improvement while remaining sympathetic to the period style of the house.
On the ground floor, an entrance hall leads to a characterful sitting room with an open fireplace and a separate dining room, also with an open fire. The breakfast kitchen features a traditional Aga, Belfast sink, and ample space for white goods. A utility/boot room and a ground floor shower room add further practicality. There is also a cellar, providing useful storage or conversion potential.
Upstairs, the first floor comprises three bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Outside, the property is accessed via a gated driveway off Caunton Road, leading to extensive parking and a detached double garage.
The substantial plot includes a brick-built store, decked patio, summer house, hot tub, and a large, private mature garden, offering fantastic space for outdoor living, entertaining, and family life.
Additional features include UPVC double glazing and oil-fired central heating.
Knapthorpe House is a rare find – a traditional rural property with character and charm, excellent outdoor space, and huge potential for renovation and enhancement in a peaceful, well-connected countryside setting.
