Hagg Nook Cottages comprises an extended four bedroom semi detached house set within the exclusive grounds of Newstead Abbey Park.
A rare opportunity to acquire an extended four bedroom semi detached house with considerable potential in an exclusive location within the grounds of the historic Newstead Abbey Park.
The property was built in 1905 as an estate workers house on an area bounded by dry stone walls and marked on old maps as a plant nursery. Our clients have owned the property for over forty years during which time they have more than doubled the square footage of the house by completing a single storey rear extension in 1994 followed by a two storey side extension shortly after in 1999. The property has solid fuel heating, majority UPVC double glazed windows and the original house was re-roofed in 2020.
The layout of living accommodation approaches 1500 sq ft with a ground floor layout comprising an entrance porch, entrance hall, study, large, 28ft open plan lounge and dining room with log burner and 9ft high ceilings. There is a kitchen/breakfast room, utility/boot room, shower room with WC and a second separate WC. The first floor landing leads to four good sized bedrooms all affording lovely views.
