39, The Ivies, Newark, NG24 4SR

Tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac off Farndon Road, this is a home that has been shaped around family life.

Mornings begin with coffee in the lounge overlooking the garden, conversations about the day ahead and a friendly wave to neighbours heading off to work or school.

Evenings tend to slow down in the conservatory before everyone naturally gathers back together in the lounge, a cosy and comfortable space that has become the heart of the home.

The layout is practical and easy to live with.

The kitchen sits to the front of the property, while the spacious lounge opens directly into the conservatory, creating a natural flow between the main living spaces.

The conservatory is flooded with light throughout the day and provides a versatile extra room for hobbies, reading, working from home or simply enjoying views of the garden.

Upstairs are three bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite shower room, alongside a family bathroom.

Outside, the garden has been thoughtfully improved with new fencing and decking, creating a private and sheltered space that feels far removed from the bustle of everyday life.

It catches the sun throughout the day and has become a favourite place for summer barbecues, family games and evenings gathered around the chimenea.

Despite its privacy, it remains easy to maintain, making it just as appealing for busy professionals as it is for growing families. Life here extends well beyond the front door.

Some of Newark's most loved walks are within easy reach, from riverside strolls towards Farndon to walks through Sconce and Devon Park, where sunrise, sunset, swans and even the occasional deer provide a reminder of how much green space surrounds the town.

Sconce Park Café is a regular stop for coffee, while nearby favourites such as The Lord Ted and The Riverside offer relaxed places to eat, drink and meet friends.

Families will appreciate the convenient access to local schools, including an easy cycle ride to Farndon Primary School, while commuters benefit from excellent links into Newark, Nottingham and beyond.

The current owners were originally drawn here by the balance it offered.

Close enough to enjoy everything Newark has to offer, yet surrounded by open space, riverside walks and a genuine sense of community.

It's a place where neighbours know each other, children grow up together and people look out for one another. This is a home that will suit buyers looking for more than simply somewhere to live.

It offers a lifestyle built around community, outdoor space and family time.

What the current owners will miss most are the friendships they have made, the walks by the river and those simple everyday moments that have made this house feel like home
