3 bed property for sale

Mill Gate, Newark NG24

A rare opportunity to purchase a truly historic Newark home, this Grade II* Listed property on Mill Gate sits within the conservation area and dates back to circa 1500, reputedly the first house to be built outside the original Newark town wall. Rich in heritage and charm, the home offers a charismatic and unusual layout, with exposed beams, period fireplaces and features that simply cannot be replicated in modern builds.

The accommodation begins with a side entrance lobby, leading into the quaint kitchen/diner This is a wonderfully characterful space with cottage-style units, open shelving, wooden work surfaces and an inset Belfast sink, complemented by quarry tiled flooring, timber panelling and a striking brick chimney breast. A gas range completes the traditional feel, while stairs rise from here to the first-floor reception rooms. The kitchen also provides access to the cellar, ideal for storage.

From the kitchen, the property flows through to a delightful sun room, where exposed brickwork and glazed doors open onto an enclosed stone courtyard with raised brick planters and mature shrubs, creating a private, sheltered spot for morning coffee or evening drinks.

Off the kitchen, there is also a useful ground floor room currently set up as a work-from-home space, offering a quiet and practical area that could equally suit hobbies, reading or additional storage depending on your needs.

A hallway leads to the ground floor bedrooms and further garden access. The home offers three bedrooms, each with its own character, including a particularly distinctive third bedroom with a raised platform sleeping area, skylight and access to additional facilities. The property is served by a main bathroom, a separate shower room, and additional WC facilities, offering practicality alongside the period charm.

Upstairs, the first floor provides two superb reception spaces that really showcase the home’s history. The dining area is a standout room with original beams, a vaulted ceiling and skylight, evoking a Minstrels’ Gallery feel, and it leads through to the lounge, another character-filled room with an open fireplace and beautiful historic features.

Outside, the property continues to impress with an enclosed rear stone courtyard and a separate terraced garden area, providing a surprisingly private outdoor setting with established planting and an oak tree.

Mill Gate is ideally placed for enjoying Newark’s amenities, riverside walks and historic town centre, while also being exceptionally convenient for commuters. Newark North Gate offers mainline rail services into London King’s Cross with journey times of approximately 1 hour 20 minutes, making this a unique opportunity for those seeking period charm without compromising on connectivity.

A truly special home, steeped in history and packed with character, early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the layout, features and setting.
