Surrounded by rolling fields and quiet lanes, the property offers an ideal setting for those wanting to slow down, recharge, and explore the highlights of Nottinghamshire at a gentle pace.
Just four miles away lies the historic town of Southwell, known for its attractive streets, independent shops, and cosy cafés. The town is also home to the magnificent Southwell Minster, a gothic cathedral famed for its intricate chapter house and rich history.
Those eager to immerse themselves in the outdoors can take a day trip to Sherwood Forest, located around 20 miles from the house. This ancient woodland is steeped in legend and offers miles of forest trails, including a walk to the famous Major Oak—thought to be the hiding place of Robin Hood. For a taste of local history, Newark-on-Trent is just ten miles away and features riverside castle ruins, antique centres, and bustling markets. Children will enjoy a day at White Post Farm, while Nottingham’s cultural and historical attractions—including Nottingham Castle and the fascinating City of Caves—are all within easy reach.
The house itself is as impressive as its surroundings. A grand entrance hall greets you on arrival, leading to a series of beautifully designed living spaces. Two elegant lounges, both filled with natural light, offer views of the garden through French doors and provide comfortable places to relax or socialise. On the other side of the hall, a formal dining room sets the stage for celebratory meals, while the spacious, fully equipped kitchen caters well to both small gatherings and large family feasts.
Accommodation is spread across three floors, comprising four king-size bedrooms and a large family room with two king-size beds. Each bedroom is tastefully decorated and features its own seating area, along with access to luxurious bathrooms complete with freestanding bathtubs and walk-in showers.
Outside, the gardens are beautifully maintained and offer space to unwind.
