Main Street, Carlton-On-Trent, Newark

Grade II Listed, The Old Forge is a unique historic property with a rich past, originally used as a shoeing forge in 1763, later serving the Horse Guard Regiment during World War Two and converted into a dwelling in the 18th century. Retaining much of its original character, the home offers versatile accommodation alongside a detached one-bedroom annex, ideal for guests, working from home or potential Airbnb use.

The main house welcomes you with a vestibule featuring round stained glass windows, leading into an entrance hallway with a wood floor and a beautiful oak staircase. The shaker-style kitchen diner provides ample space for cooking, complete with a pantry, while a separate utility room adds convenience. The living room is a cosy yet elegant space with a feature bay window incorporating bespoke seating with storage, as well as an inglenook-style fireplace with a wood-burning stove. Two further reception rooms offer flexible living options and a fourth bedroom or guest room is conveniently located near a wet room. Upstairs, the first floor comprises a family bathroom with an electric shower over the bath and three well-proportioned bedrooms, two of which feature built-in wardrobes.

The detached annex boasts vaulted ceilings and offers a spacious lounge diner, kitchen, bedroom and shower room, making it a perfect self-contained living space.

The property is set within mature landscaped gardens, featuring a sweeping gravel driveway with both entrance and exit points. A double garage with power and lighting completes this exceptional home, offering a rare opportunity to own a piece of history with modern comfort and flexibility.
