The nearby village of Collingham offers a good range of everyday amenities including a Co-op store, medical centre, public house, primary school, regular bus service and its own railway station.
The historic market town of Newark-on-Trent lies approximately four miles away and provides an excellent range of shops, supermarkets, cafes, restaurants and leisure facilities, together with well regarded schools. Newark is also particularly well placed for commuting, with two railway stations including Newark North Gate which offers high speed rail services to London King’s Cross in around 75 minutes, together with convenient road access to Nottingham, Lincoln and the wider region.
The Cottage therefore represents a rare opportunity to acquire a charming period home with generous gardens and paddock land, in a delightful village setting yet within easy reach of excellent amenities and transport links.
