‘Lilac Cottage’ presents an intriguing investment opportunity in the charming village of Normanton-on-Trent, surrounded by expansive rural landscapes. This property benefits from a strong community spirit and offers convenient access to major routes, making it suitable for commuting to Newark, Retford, and Lincoln. The local amenities include a primary school and two pubs, enhancing its appeal for families.
Having undergone significant extensions by the current owners, this residence boasts versatile living spaces ideal for multi-generational accommodation or potential rental opportunities. The approach to the property is via a private drive leading to a spacious gravel driveway with sufficient parking for several vehicles and access to an outbuilding. Notably, this outbuilding has received planning permission (2022) for transformation into a two-storey granny flat or assisted living space, increasing its potential value.
Set within approximately 0.46 acres of grounds adorned with gardens and offering scenic views across open fields, this home includes an outdoor heated swimming pool—an attractive feature for leisure and entertainment.
Inside, the property features a welcoming entrance hallway that leads into a large lounge equipped with a log-burning stove and beamed ceilings. Further rooms include a dual aspect sitting room and a sunroom with a fitted bar area that connects seamlessly to the rear garden. The generous breakfast kitchen is well-appointed with granite work surfaces and modern appliances. A formal dining room with high vaulted ceilings complements the ground floor accommodations which also include a bedroom with an ensuite bathroom.
On the first floor, five additional bedrooms provide ample space for family living; several boast ensuite facilities or unique Juliet balconies overlooking the gardens. This individual home requires some updating to meet contemporary standards but holds significant potential for refurbishment to unlock further value.
