Main Street, Fenton, Newark

Stunning Grade II listed detached country residence situated in the heart of this popular village. The idyllic gated approach, with an in and out drive and private pond, leads to this delightful limestone and red brick spacious home. Heritage notes and datestone suggest the original property dates back to C1588 and has been extended and modernised through the centuries to offer a charming home which continues to carry the dignity and character of its origins.

The Old Hall comprises Entrance Hall, Drawing Room, Dining Room, stunning Open Plan Family/Dining Kitchen, Garden Room, Utility Room, Cloakroom/WC and access to Cellar. The First Floor there are four Double Bedrooms, two of which have an En-suite, and a Family Bathroom. Second Floor offers two further rooms which at present offer a Family Room/Bedroom and Bedroom with WC.

Outside the well maintained and landscaped grounds extends to approximately 4.27 acres. To the north side of the house is a lawned area with existing planning consent for a 4 Bedroomed Detached House. Further outbuildings with WC. Two secluded patio areas, formal lawn with flower/shrub beds and borders. Private swimming pool and tennis court, a paddock and a wooded area enjoying far-reaching countryside views.

Adjacent to the hall is a range of traditional barns that have been adapted to form modern individual office spaces. In recent years these have been let to create additional rental income. Details of past and existing lettings are available upon request. In addition, there is a double garage and a private office and a Kitchen/WC situated in a courtyard setting.

A preliminary application has been submitted to and approved by South Kesteven District Council to convert one of the barns into a self-contained, one bedroomed living space to remain as part of Old Hall. Details of the application are available upon request.
