4 bedroom detached house for sale

Thomas James are delighted to offer this characterful period cottage home to the market.

Dating back to the mid 1700s, the property provides sympathetically refurbished accommodation arranged over two floors including; a living/dining room, a further reception room, a farm house style dining kitchen, a utility room, a shower room, plus a garden room (this room in need of some improvement - architects drawings of a replacement single story extension already commissioned and available for viewing) on the ground floor, with the first floor landings giving access, via two staircases, to four bedrooms: three of which are very generous double bedrooms (one with a large dressing room), a "Jack & Jill" shower room, and a family bathroom.

Benefiting from double glazing, and gas central heating, the property occupies a deceptively large plot with privately enclosed established gardens, and ample off road parking.

Situated in the heart of the old village area of the sought after south Nottinghamshire village of Cotgrave, the property is within easy reach of facilities including the state of the art doctors surgery and library hub, plus primary schools, shops, public houses, a leisure centre with swimming pool, a golf course, and a country park. There are excellent transport links and main road routes to Nottingham and Leicester, and beyond.

Viewing is highly recommended.

To the side of the property, the gravelled driveway provides off road parking, and gives timber double gated access, and courtesy gated access to the rear garden.

The attractive gardens to the rear of the property are well established, and enjoy a good degree of privacy. A further gravelled area provides additional car parking here, there are two patio seating areas, shaped lawns, well stocked flower borders, a variety of mature trees and shrubs, raised vegetable plots, and hard standing for a hot tub with electric power points (the hot tub available by separate negotiation).

The garden houses a useful large brick outbuilding (3.3m x 3.6m) which has been partially renovated, with power connected and a Velux window. The outbuilding is in a need of some further renovation to make the most of this versatile space. There are two further brick built stores, a integral store room ( with access adjacent to the garden room), a timber shed, and a green house (available by separate negotiation).

Garden Room - Plans For Improvement - We understand that the vendors have architectural drawings for this room, to show the scope of works for a single story gabled garden room accessed via double doors from the kitchen, extended boot room and rear entrance, which could be completed by the new owners, should they wish to undertake them.

These drawings can be made available for sight on viewings.
