Harcourt Street, Newark, NG24

There’s a certain rhythm to Harcourt Street. Close enough to walk into town or to the station without thinking about it, but just far enough away to feel residential rather than busy.

Behind the railings, this four-storey Victorian house feels settled and solid. The proportions are generous, the ceilings are high, and the light from the bay windows carries right through the front rooms.

The front sitting room is where you’ll likely end up in the evenings. The bay window draws the light in during the day and fitted shutters give privacy without shutting the world out along with a beautiful fireplace.

The separate dining room is calm and is a space for proper meals rather than eating on the run. The kind of space where homework can be spread out, or friends can stay longer than planned.

The ground floor features new flooring throughout, providing a seamless transition underfoot.

The kitchen was refurbished in 2023 with solid oak worktops, a new sink, fresh tiling and shaker-style cabinetry. It’s a practical layout, with everything where you need it and a new rear door leading out to the garden. Outdoor electrics have also been added, which makes the garden more usable year-round.

There’s a downstairs WC - something you don’t always find in houses of this era.

Upstairs, the main bedroom runs across the front of the house with its bay window and original fireplace. It’s a room you can grow into, not grow out of. Shutters and bespoke blinds have been fitted, giving you control over light and privacy.

The bathroom was replaced last year and is now a clean, modern space with a double walk-in shower - simple, well-finished and designed for everyday use.

Across the first and second floors are three further bedrooms. They work well as children’s rooms, guest rooms, or as a space to work from home, offering flexibility without compromising on bedroom sizes.

Below ground, the cellar has been properly improved. It’s dry-lined, carpeted, heated, with electrics and lighting in place. Currently used as a study, it offers genuine additional living space rather than just storage - somewhere quiet and separate when you need it.

Outside, the rear garden is longer than you might expect from the street. There’s a paved seating area near the house and lawn beyond, with borders. It feels usable rather than ornamental - room for play, planting, or simply sitting out at the end of the day.

New double glazing has been installed and much of the practical updating has already been done. It still feels like a Victorian home - sash windows, cast iron fireplaces, proper room shapes - the sort of improvements you’re glad someone else has already taken care of.

Location matters here. You’re within walking distance of Newark town centre and both train stations are within easy reach for commuting. It's well-placed for access to both primary and secondary schools. It’s a part of town where people move to and tend to stay.

This isn’t a house that’s trying to reinvent itself. It’s a Victorian home that’s been looked after properly - improved where it counts, while keeping the proportions and details that made it appealing in the first place.

If you’re looking for something central, solid, and ready to live in without a list of jobs waiting for you, this may feel like the right fit.
