Description

Barge Estates is delighted to welcome you to this beautiful Grade II listed two-bedroom character home, located in a conservation area in the highly sought-after village of Blyth. Dating back to approx.1699, this exceptional property is rich in history and brimming with character features throughout.

Accessed via a gated entrance to the rear with off road gravelled parking, the home opens onto a stunning south-facing landscaped garden, beautifully maintained with planted borders and a charming summer house-perfect for relaxing or entertaining. A delightful walkway, once an old wash house and now converted into an outdoor dining area, leads you to the rear entrance.

Inside, you are welcomed by a truly beautiful farmhouse-style kitchen, thoughtfully renovated to modern standards while carefully preserving the property's historic integrity. Throughout the home, you'll find fascinating snippets of history, including beams marked with Roman numerals and timbers reclaimed from old ships-a rare and characterful touch.

The sellers undertook a sympathetic renovation on purchase, ensuring the home retained its unique charm and heritage. The kitchen boasts a warm, inviting atmosphere, complemented by stunning Italian granite countertops and a large range-style cooker. The lounge is a warm and inviting space, showcasing exposed beams to the walls and ceiling, a striking log burner, and a beautiful front door.

Upstairs, the property offers two spacious bedrooms. Both bedrooms benefit from fitted wardrobes, large windows with a lovely outlook, and the main bedroom provides access to a fully boarded loft. The bathroom has a tasteful nautical theme, featuring a roll-top bath and a useful storage cupboard housing space for a washing machine and tumble dryer.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a truly unique home that blends history, character, and modern comfort in an idyllic village setting.

Blyth is a charming and highly sought-after village, situated between Retford and Worksop, known for its rich history, strong community feel, and beautiful countryside surroundings.
