Description

***The property is offered for sale by informal tender with a deadline for offers of 5pm Wednesday 17th December 2025***
Ideally located in the centre of the picturesque village of Askham, Manor Farm enjoys a prime rural setting just six miles south of the market town of Retford and approximately 17 miles west of the historic city of Lincoln.
Lot 1
Lot 1 comprises a former farm yard with ranges of traditional and modern farm buildings including:
A charming two-storey traditional brick range under a pantile roof. The building has been partly converted, with the upper floor currently used as a photography studio, accessed by external steps. The ground floor serves as an extension to the workshops to the rear. Adjoining is a single-storey range providing additional storage.
The buildings may offer the potential for further conversion to a residential use subject to obtaining any necessary planning consents.
Located to the side and rear is a range of modern agriculture buildings, mainly constructed with concrete frames and reinforced block walls with Yorkshire Boarding, beneath a pitched fibre cement roof. There are several roller shutter doors providing multiple access points. The buildings are currently utilised as a workshop and for storage, with a total gross internal area of about 1,000 sqm (10,800 sqft).
Lot 1 is shaded red on the sale plan.
Situation
Nestled in the scenic countryside of Nottinghamshire, Askham is a pleasant village with a rich heritage. Just six miles from Retford and within easy reach of Lincoln and Newark-on-Trent, it offers a peaceful rural lifestyle with convenient access to urban amenities.
Askham benefits from good transport links to major road networks including the A1 and A57, offering good connections to Lincoln, Nottingham and further afield. Newark and Retford Train Stations offer direct services to London in under an hour and a half, with the latter also providing connections to Sheffield, whilst Collingham Station provides services to Nottingham in about half an hour.
The village is home to a traditional pub and restaurant, whilst the nearby towns of Retford and Tuxford offer a wide range of essential services including supermarkets, healthcare, leisure centres, and a wide range of dining and shopping options.
The area is well-served by a selection of respected local and independent schools, while Lincoln University provides a diverse range of higher education opportunities within easy reach.
Askham is perfectly positioned to take advantage of the numerous local attractions. Both Newark and Lincoln are steeped in history and can be reached in a little under thirty minutes. For those looking to enjoy the great outdoors, Sherwood Forest, Clumber Park, and Idle Valley Nature Reserve are also a short drive away. There are a number of local footpaths and byways allowing for exploration on foot and/or horseback.
