5 bedroom detached house for sale

A Handsome Five-Bedroom Home enjoying a large double plot perfect for a family. Set on the banks of the River Trent in the sought-after rural village of Gunthorpe,

Greenacres is a substantial home offering generous living space, beautifully landscaped gardens, and future potential — all on a rare double plot. Originally designed and built by the current owners, and later extended to enhance its proportions, the property has grown into a spacious and well-appointed family home in a truly idyllic setting.

Step Inside

A welcoming entrance hall with staircase to the first floor leads to a spacious sitting room, where a deep bay window frames views to the front and a fireplace with marble inserts and a flush-fitting multi-fuel burner adds warmth and character. The room opens seamlessly into the dining room, a generous space with views over the side garden that provides a peaceful backdrop for entertaining or family meals.

From here, double doors lead to the triple-aspect garden room, a beautiful retreat with a cast iron multi-fuel burner and door opening directly to the rear garden — equally inviting in summer or winter. The kitchen is a highlight, with cream-coloured units, granite worktops, a range cooker, and space for a breakfast table. Units have been arranged to maximise storage and functionality.

Completing the ground floor is a utility room with rear access, additional storage, and space for freestanding appliances. A cloakroom with WC adds convenience, while a further room beyond, originally designed as a home office, now serves as extra storage and would make an ideal boot room. Internal access to the integral double garage is also provided from the utility.

Upstairs

The first floor offers five double bedrooms, arranged around a central landing, along with a spacious family bathroom and a modern shower room. Each room is well-proportioned, making this a versatile home for growing families or multi-generational living.

Step Outside

The gated driveway leads to the integral double garage with electric roll-over door and side access. The garden is undoubtedly the owners’ pride and joy — a beautifully landscaped haven with sweeping lawns, floral and shrub beds designed for year-round colour, and a wealth of detail throughout.

A traditional-style summer house with power and light offers a peaceful spot to relax or work, while a gazebo with glazed windbreak provides shelter and charm. Flagged patios, matching walkways, and block-paved features add to the garden’s appeal. The double plot not only enhances the sense of space but also offers future potential, subject to planning.
