Edwardian house offers renovation challenge

£275,000 - 117 Farndon Road, Newark

An Edwardian residence and coach house on Farndon Road, Newark, has come on to the market valued at £275,000 to £300,000 through Alasdair Morrison and Partners.

The house and outbuildings have been neglected in recent years and are now in a poor state of repair and condition.

Complete renovation is required, while new-build is also an available option, subject to planning permission.

The property stands in almost one acre of gardens and grounds and overlooks open fields.

The main house is built of part-rendered brick, constructed with a double pitched roof, which has been stripped of its original Rosemary clay tiles.

It has 2,012sq ft of living space.

On the ground floor there is an entrance hall, cloakroom, living room, kitchen, scullery, and a utility/boiler room.

There are five bedrooms on the first floor along with a bathroom and separate wc.

The adjoining coach house is of matching construction and has a further 819sq ft.

It consists of a garage, stables, and three stores.

There is 0.9 acres of grounds with hedging and fencing around the boundaries.

A mature screen of trees along the roadside provides privacy for the main house.

The rear garden is extensive and could be used to create a paddock or orchard, overlooking the fields.

Attempts to develop the site for more than one property have been strongly resisted by Newark and Sherwood District Council, in line with its environmental policy.

Current planning policy would allow for demolition of the existing property and a new-build on a one-for-one basis.

Redevelopment of the exisiting property is permissable, although any external alterations or extensions would require the usual planning and building regulation consents.

Because of its state, extreme care must be exercised when inspecting the property, and no viewing must take place unaccompanied.
