Ossington Road, Norwell, Newark, Nottinghamshire, NG23

Award-winning architect-designed barn conversion offered for sale with NO UPWARD CHAIN.

An exceptional single-storey barn conversion, winner of the Homebuilding & Renovating Magazine Award for Best Conversion and featured in Grand Designs Magazine, offering beautifully designed contemporary accommodation, an abundance of natural light and a private south-west-facing walled garden.

This single-storey home occupies a private and tranquil position within the highly regarded conservation village of Norwell, surrounded by beautiful Nottinghamshire countryside.

Originally a cart barn forming part of the former manor house and its surrounding estate, the property was transformed and substantially extended in 2009 by the previous owner, an architect who designed the conversion. The finished property went on to win the Homebuilding & Renovating Magazine Award for Best Conversion and was subsequently featured in Grand Designs Magazine, testament to the quality and originality of its design.

The result is a truly individual home which combines the character and proportions of the original barn with a striking contemporary style. An impressive amount of glazing floods the accommodation with natural light, whilst the open-plan layout creates a wonderful sense of space and connection with the private gardens.

A gravelled driveway leads from the road to the property’s gated entrance, providing parking. The neighbouring property has a right of access over the driveway to access their property. Set well back from the main road, the property enjoys a peaceful and secluded setting, with its south-west-facing aspect and attractive walled garden further enhancing its privacy, tranquillity and overall appeal.

Inside, engineered oak flooring flows throughout much of the accommodation, complemented by underfloor heating. At the heart of the home is the impressive open-plan living space, incorporating a stylish kitchen, dining area and day room, creating a wonderfully sociable environment for both everyday living and entertaining.

The contemporary kitchen has been thoughtfully designed and features sleek high-gloss units, polished quartz work surfaces and a central island. Integrated appliances include two electric ovens, a ceramic hob, freezer and drawer-style fridge with two compartments.

The dining area provides ample space for a large table seating up to ten and enjoys a lovely outlook over the garden. The accommodation flows naturally into the light-filled day room, where a vaulted glazed ceiling maximises the natural light. Bi-folding doors open directly onto the patio, creating a seamless connection between the interior and garden.

A useful utility room provides further storage and incorporates an integrated dishwasher, washing machine and stainless-steel sink, together with useful space for outerwear. A glazed door leads directly to the rear courtyard.

Double doors open from the dining area into a sophisticated separate living room, providing a more intimate reception space. A high vaulted ceiling, full-height glazed windows and doors opening onto the garden once again make the most of the property's exceptional natural light and peaceful surroundings.

A central corridor leads through to the bedroom accommodation. The principal bedroom benefits from a double wardrobe and a stylish en-suite with contemporary fittings and a walk-in shower. Bedroom two is a generous double bedroom with sliding glazed doors opening onto the courtyard and a double wardrobe, whilst bedroom three is currently utilised as a home office and benefits from fitted storage, offering excellent flexibility.

The main bathroom is beautifully appointed with a walk-in shower, bath with central taps, WC and wash hand basin.

The garden is undoubtedly one of the property's most distinctive features. Designed with the same care and attention to detail as the house, the private walled garden has been created as a calm and understated outdoor space. Polished granite tiles create a contemporary feel, incorporating a decorative rill effect, whilst white-stemmed birch trees, mature trees and established planting provide a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion.

The mature south-west-facing garden provides an attractive setting in which to relax and entertain, whilst the property's position offers a wonderful connection with the surrounding countryside. A timber shed is neatly tucked away to the side of the property.

Norwell is a highly regarded and historic conservation village set amidst the beautiful Nottinghamshire countryside. The village has retained a strong sense of character and community, with attractive period properties and historic buildings contributing to its distinctive appeal. The surrounding countryside provides excellent opportunities for walking and enjoying the rural setting, whilst the village benefits from a local primary school.

The nearby market town of Newark-on-Trent provides an excellent range of shops, cafés, restaurants, supermarkets, leisure facilities and professional services, together with excellent road and rail connections.

For commuters, Newark North Gate railway station provides direct rail services to London King's Cross, making it possible to enjoy the tranquillity and space of village life whilst retaining convenient access to the capital. The fastest services take approximately 1 hour 12 minutes, making the location particularly attractive to London commuters.

With its award-winning architectural design, fascinating history, exceptional natural light, beautifully considered accommodation and private walled garden, this is a truly special property which offers a rare opportunity to own a home of genuine individuality and distinction.

An early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the architecture, quality, space and peaceful setting of this remarkable barn conversion.
