Shelton, Newark

A fantastic opportunity to purchase a truly individual character conversion of a former period barn which offers an extensive level of sprawling accommodation extending to in the region of 2,550 sq.ft. The property boasts a versatile array of reception and bedrooms on both the ground and first floor making it large enough to accommodate growing or extended families but also having the ability, in later life, to be utilised as purely single storey living.

The property offers a considerable level of character and features, many rooms offering exposed timbers and internal brickwork, with attractive cottage latch doors and traditional style fixtures and fittings. The initial entrance hall creates a beautiful initial impression with a high vaulted ceiling and spindle balustrade staircase rising to a galleried landing above and, in turn, leads to four main reception areas including a stunning sitting room with high vaulted ceiling with exposed king post and truss and attractive inglenook fireplace with solid fuel stove. A potential fifth reception offers the alternative of a ground floor double bedroom which, in conjunction with the ground floor wet room, could provide annexe style facilities or a master suite.

To the first floor there are four further bedrooms, the master of which benefits from ensuite facilities. Again, each have their own individuality and character.

As well as the internal accommodation the property occupies a delightful established plot positioned on the outskirts of this well regarded village with gardens to three sides and off road parking with gated access leading into an enclosed rear garden which provides a delightful space having additional outbuildings which, subject to necessary consent, could offer further scope for conversion.

Overall viewing is the only way to truly appreciate the unique nature of this wonderful and individual home.
