Vendor Insight
“We were particularly attracted to Harstoft because of its superb position within the village. We loved that it was so light and spacious, and we saw the potential it had to be even better.”

“It’s been a wonderful place to live as the accommodation is so versatile, the house has really evolved to meet our changing needs. Previously I was a childminder, and the secure outside garden was a wonderful place for the children to explore. We have raised our family here and the flexible reception rooms and bedrooms have given us all the space we have needed.”

“We have done quite a lot of work to make the house more energy efficient. Over the past five years we have installed new uPvc double-glazed, traditional style windows and doors throughout and fitted a new central heating boiler.”

“Last year we converted the garage into an open plan dining room connected to the kitchen. We feel this has balanced the house out and with French doors to the garden it is ideal for entertaining, especially in summer when everyone can spill out onto the decking and garden. The family bathroom was upgraded a couple of years ago with a luxurious claw footed bath, decorative tiles and wood panelling. It’s a very comfortable house to live in and we particularly love the sense of space we have as a family; the children enjoy their own cosy bedrooms, and our bedroom feels almost like a private wing!”

“As well as the convenience of being close to the market town of Newark and the historic city of Lincoln, we feel very lucky to beautiful places such as Spalford Warren Nature reserve (2 miles) and Langford Lowfields RSPB site (5 miles) so close, both wonderful spaces to explore all year round.”

“North Scarle is a very safe and friendly village, and we will miss being part of the community. The village school is thriving under the new leadership team and both my children have flourished in this nurturing environment. The community sports on offer are fantastic with active tennis, cricket, football clubs all within walking distance. We love our walks and will miss the abundance of footpaths we have from the doorstep, it’s so pretty and picturesque. Here, we have the best of both worlds: all the peace and tranquillity of a small village but we’re not isolated as all the amenities are so close by.”
