Manor Road, Caunton, Newark, Nottinghamshire, NG23

Guide price £700,000 - £725,000 - A truly one-of-a-kind, attractive period home set in a unique position within the charming village of Caunton.

Occupying a stunning, picturesque setting, this beautifully extended four-bedroom family home offers spacious and versatile living accommodation, rich in character and enhanced by impressive kerb appeal.

The oldest part of the property dates back to approximately 1860, blending historic charm with modern comfort.

Steps lead up to the front door and into a welcoming entrance hall, complete with a cloakroom and W/C.

To the left, a light and airy lounge/diner features a fireplace with a wood-burning stove set on a slate hearth, complemented by ornate coving and ceiling roses. To the right, a more formal sitting room enjoys French doors opening to the rear, offering delightful views over the Beck, along with further period detailing.

The kitchen/diner provides a sociable and practical space, featuring a tiled floor, under-stairs storage, and room for a dining table. French doors open onto the patio, creating an ideal indoor-outdoor flow. The kitchen is fitted with shaker-style units, granite worktops and upstands, a twin ceramic sink, and integrated appliances including an under-counter fridge, dishwasher, Neff double oven, and induction hob with extractor above.

The kitchen leads seamlessly into a utility room, which offers additional storage, space and plumbing for a washing machine and fridge freezer, a stainless steel sink, and an external door providing side access.

Upstairs, a galleried landing gives access to all four bedrooms, along with a useful storage cupboard.

The principal bedroom features French doors opening onto a wrought-iron balustraded balcony, where you can enjoy views over the Beck and the beautifully maintained gardens. A dressing area with fitted wardrobes leads through to a private en-suite shower room.

Bedroom two also benefits from its own en-suite shower room, while bedroom three is a well-proportioned double. Bedroom four is currently used as a home office.

The family bathroom is stylishly appointed, featuring a freestanding bath with central mixer tap, partially tiled walls, W/C, and a wash hand basin set within a vanity unit.

Throughout, the property feels light and airy and benefits from new double-glazed windows. Heating is provided via an oil-fired central heating system, and the property is serviced by a septic tank.

Outside, a double-width driveway provides ample parking and leads to a double garage with electric door, light, and power.

A flagstone patio area offers an ideal space for outdoor entertaining, while a newly built wooden bridge leads to enchanting lawned gardens with additional seating areas. The walled garden is mature and well-stocked, alive with wildlife and birdsong—perfect for families and keen gardeners alike.

The gardens are a standout feature, and the unique position alongside the Beck further enhances the property’s charm.

In 2023, the village of Caunton experienced unprecedented flooding. Manor Cottage was affected at that time; however, significant flood defence works have since been undertaken to both the property and the Beck, providing reassurance for the future.

The property falls within the catchment area for The Minster School. Caunton itself offers a recently refurbished public house, a tennis club, and convenient access to Newark, where commuters benefit from fast rail links to London.
