The principal accommodation includes a fine reception hall and three very original bay windows and lofty reception rooms, quite typical of the Victorian era. Upstairs this part of this house has been partitioned to form smaller bedrooms but the fine staircase and roof light, although in need of restoration is a particular feature of the property. The property is arranged as 27 bedrooms of which 26 are single rooms and one double rooms with ten of these rooms being en suite.
The property is built with red brick elevations and the hipped roof slopes are plain tiled. The main original part of the house has fine stone fenestration.

Newark has become an increasingly popular place to live. Undoubtedly the Georgian market square; the 12th century castle and the wonderful riverside areas with a variety or restaurants are an attractive part of the town both for locals and for tourists. Industry and commerce have expanded tremendously during the last few years. There are good quality, niche shops and boutiques in the town centre and also most of the multiples represented including Marks and Spencer, Waitrose, Asda and Morrison supermarkets. Road communications are excellent with the A1 intersecting the A46. Many commute from Newark to Lincoln and Nottingham. Fast electric trains are capable of journey times between Newark Northgate and London Kings Cross in just over 85 minutes.
