<p>A rare opportunity to purchase a truly historic Newark home, this <strong>Grade II*</strong> Listed property on <strong>Mill Gate</strong> sits within the conservation area and dates back to circa <strong>1500</strong>, 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.</p><p>The accommodation begins with a side entrance lobby, leading into the quaint <strong>kitchen/diner</strong>. 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 <strong>cellar</strong>, ideal for storage.</p><p>From the kitchen, the property flows through to a delightful <strong>sun room</strong>, 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.</p><p>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.</p><p>A hallway leads to the ground floor bedrooms and further garden access. The home offers <strong>three bedrooms</strong>, 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.</p><p>Upstairs, the first floor provides two superb reception spaces that really showcase the home’s history. The <strong>dining area</strong> is a standout room with original beams, a vaulted ceiling and skylight, evoking a Minstrels’ Gallery feel, and it leads through to the <strong>lounge</strong>, another character-filled room with an open fireplace and beautiful historic features.</p><p>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.</p><p>Mill Gate is ideally placed for enjoying Newark’s amenities, riverside walks and historic town centre, while also being exceptionally convenient for commuters. <strong>Newark North Gate</strong> offers mainline rail services into <strong>London King’s Cross</strong> with journey times of approximately <strong>1 hour 20 minutes</strong>, making this a unique opportunity for those seeking period charm without compromising on connectivity.</p><p>A truly special home, steeped in history and packed with character, early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the layout, features and setting.</p>
