Nottingham Road, Cropwell Bishop

We have pleasure in offering to the market this fascinating Grade II listed, detached period cottage, located close to the heart of this much regarded and well served village with viewing coming highly recommended to appreciate both the location and accommodation on offer.

This charming home underwent a significant programme of thoughtful renovation and modernisation around 2018 and has been well maintained over past years. The property provides a versatile layout spanning two floors with the ability to be utilised as purely a single storey home, benefitting from a bedroom suite and shower room to the ground floor, as well as two further ensuite bedrooms to the first floor. In addition the property boasts two reception rooms and a delightful, open plan, breakfast kitchen which is tastefully appointed with a range of contemporary units and integrated appliances. This kitchen has an attractive part vaulted ceiling with inset skylights and doors leading out into a southerly facing garden at the rear.

The property is tastefully presented throughout with neutral decoration, combining both traditional and contemporary elements with a modern kitchen and bathrooms yet still retaining elements of its original character with beamed ceilings, live fireplaces and some of the original sliding sash windows. This all combines to create a beautiful, interesting and individual home within a pleasant village setting.

As well as the internal accommodation the property occupies a pleasant landscaped plot set up on a slightly elevated position with a walled frontage and steps leading up to the front door. To the rear of the property is an enclosed south facing garden with an initial paved terrace leading up to further seating areas, a central lawn, well stocked perimeter borders and gated access onto a double width driveway at the rear. The property also benefits from a single garage which is located within a shared courtyard area at the rear.

Overall viewing comes highly recommended to appreciate both the location and accommodation on offer.
