Holiday let for picturesque village is among latest Bassetlaw planning applications

For a planning application has been received by Bassetlaw District Council to create a new holiday let at one of the semi-rural village’s properties, Croft House on West Moor Road.

Lucinda Lister has submitted the application to convert a single-storey ‘granny’ annexe at the property into a one-bedroom holiday retreat.

It would come with kitchen, dining room, living area, sitting room, study, entrance hall, cloakroom, WC and utility room, as well as an en suite bedroom.

Walkeringham (population of 1,118), is famed for its magnificent Church of St Mary Magdalene, which is a grade I listed building and dates back to the 13th century. There is also a nature reserve, a village hall and a popular pub, the Fox And Hounds.
