Old Rufford Road, Farnsfield, Newark, NG22

A Beautiful Period Home with Annex (currently operating as a successful Airbnb), Triple Garage with 35ft x 20ft9 space above, and Breath taking Views

Tucked away in an incredibly private spot, this striking period home is full of character and charm – with all the space you could possibly need, and more. Accessed via a gated private driveway shared by just a handful of homes, it’s a true sanctuary – peaceful and secluded, yet within easy reach of Farnsfield and popular attractions like Sherwood Forest and Center Parcs.

The main house offers beautifully presented accommodation set across three floors, with period features at every turn. Entry is through a pretty courtyard garden leading into a traditional-style kitchen, complete with solid oak cabinetry, flagstone flooring with underfloor heating, a range cooker, stone resin sink and drainer with mixer tap, integrated dishwasher and microwave, and space for a fridge freezer. The beamed ceiling adds further character to this charming space.

Off the kitchen is a useful utility room housing the Ideal combi boiler, with space and plumbing for both a washing machine and tumble dryer, Belfast sink. A downstairs WC sits just off the utility, there is a large coat and shoe cupboard. There is also access to a cellar, ideal for wine storage.

A flagstone-floored hallway leads through to the reception rooms. Should you wish to re-connect the main house with the annex internally, this could be achieved easily via the hallway, offering a direct link through to the annex’s large kitchen/diner.

Both main reception rooms are truly impressive. The living room features a stunning bay window and multi-fuel burner, creating a cosy yet elegant space. The dining room is equally striking, with original floorboards, another large bay window and a beautiful fireplace with a coal-effect gas fire. Both rooms are flooded with natural light and provide perfect spaces for entertaining or relaxing in comfort.

A feature staircase leads to the first floor where you’ll find a luxurious principal bedroom suite with its own dressing room (fitted with wardrobes) and a hotel-style en suite with underfloor heating, complete with a jacuzzi bath, walk-in shower with water jets, and twin vanity wash basins. Two further bedrooms sit on this floor – one currently used as a dressing room – along with a stylish family bathroom featuring a clawfoot bath and separate shower.

On the top floor, two additional well-proportioned bedrooms offer excellent space for guests, older children, or home offices.

The Annex

Connected to the main house but fully self-contained, the annex offers exceptional versatility. Currently run as a successful Airbnb, it’s set up and ready to go, but would equally suit multigenerational living, longer-term rental, or private guest accommodation.

The annex has its own private gated entrance from the A614, creating independence from the main house if required. Inside, a welcoming hallway with flagstone flooring and underfloor heating leads to a generous living room with original floorboards, an impressive fireplace, and French doors opening onto a gravelled garden area.

The kitchen is country-styled with a good range of wall and base units, Rangemaster cooker, space for further appliances, and ample room for a family-sized dining table. A rear porch provides useful space for coats and boots. There’s also a downstairs WC which houses the annex's own combi boiler.

Upstairs, the large main bedroom offers character and comfort, with an additional room off it that could serve as a walk-in wardrobe, home office, nursery or second bedroom. The bathroom is finished in a traditional style, with a roll-top bath, separate shower, and heritage suite.

The annex has a separate EPC (rated C) and benefits from solar panels, currently generating income. Furniture in the annex can be included, subject to negotiation.

Outside

The outdoor space is particularly special here. The property is surrounded by beautifully maintained gardens, a mix of lawn, gravelled seating areas and composite decking – all with panoramic views over surrounding countryside. A charming original well and koi carp pond (fish can be included) add to the atmosphere, and there’s a covered hot tub area for year-round enjoyment.

There is ample parking on both sides of the property, providing space for residents and guests alike.

Triple Garage & Converted Upper Floor

To the side of the property is a substantial brick-built triple garage. The ground floor offers fantastic workshop or storage space, with water and electrics already installed. Above, a converted upper floor offers even more versatility – accessed via its own staircase, with bifold doors and a Juliet balcony offering far-reaching views. It’s an ideal setup for a home office, studio, party room or gym – whatever suits your needs.
