This stunning, spacious, family home, in immaculate condition, was built over six hundred years ago. Situated in the pretty village of Collingham, set in a conservation area, it has been the much loved home for its present owners for the past eighteen years. They were attracted to its setting and, of course, its history, the convenience of its location, together with the quality of its local amenities. The cottage contains a wealth of history, alongside wonderful timbers and beams whilst, at the same time, it is a home which is cosy and welcoming, teamed with practicality, luxury, and comfort.

Apart from many essential practical tasks, the owners replaced the old kitchen, added a beautiful garden room and updated bathrooms and the en suite. Everything undertaken has been carried out with respect to the unique history of the cottage.

Having recently retired, the owners are moving to pastures new, but have adored living in this house and village. They have made many friends here and do not intend moving very far away.

The extremely friendly village has ease of access to many schools, sport and leisure clubs, pubs and restaurants. The railway station provides a service into Lincoln and onwards into the capital. Other destinations throughout the land are very convenient to reach via the road and rail network. There are brilliant walks in this location, with the RSPB Langford Lowfields Reserve on the doorstep.

The meticulous garden is a haven which reflects the care given to it by the owners. It is certainly a garden to come home to and enjoy a glass of wine after a busy day. The garden room has bi-fold doors opening onto the patio and dining space.

A fabulous house and garden for entertaining friends and family, whether intimate suppers in the atmospheric dining room, or larger festivities. One such event was a milestone birthday, utilising the garden room and patio, when thirty guests sat down in comfort to enjoy a special celebration.

The property is conveniently located for accessing the A1, A46 and A17. The pretty market town of Newark-on-Trent is a short distance away and offers an abundance of amenities. There is an abundance of schooling in the district, including excellent infant and junior schooling in the village. The town is immersed in history with a dramatic castle which sits beautifully on the River Trent. Newark’s high-speed rail network serves commuters well with a journey time of approximately 82 minutes to London Kings Cross.
