A traditional brick and pantile five bedroom detached family home offering spacious and versatile accommodation, set within delightful grounds extending to approximately 0.76 of an acre in the heart of the sought-after village of Holme.
The Cottage is an attractive period home which combines the charm and character of a traditional village property with the practicality of modern family living. The property has been thoughtfully extended in recent years to create a flexible ground floor room complete with an adjoining ensuite wet room. This versatile space could serve as a comfortable family room, guest suite or ground floor bedroom, making it particularly suitable for those seeking accommodation for a relative or with accessibility needs.
The living accommodation is well presented throughout and benefits from oil fired central heating and full fibre broadband. The ground floor comprises an entrance hall, living room, study and dining room, together with a spacious open plan dining kitchen which forms the heart of the home. There is also a utility room, rear entrance porch and ground floor WC. The aforementioned family room or ground floor bedroom with ensuite wet room adds valuable flexibility to the layout and would suit a variety of family requirements, and would also be ideal as a home office.
To the first floor, a spacious and light landing gives access to five well proportioned bedrooms, one of which benefits from its own ensuite bathroom, in addition to the family bathroom serving the remaining bedrooms.
One of the most appealing features of the property is its exceptional plot, extending to approximately 0.76 of an acre. The mature gardens are to the rear of the property and are planted with a wide variety of established trees, shrubs and hedgerows, creating a peaceful and private setting. Beyond the main garden lies a charming paddock area positioned adjacent to the village church, further enhancing the attractive and tranquil environment.
The property also benefits from a useful range of traditional brick outbuildings which provide excellent storage.
Holme is a particularly pretty riverside village set within quiet and secluded countryside yet remains conveniently located for nearby amenities. The village enjoys a peaceful setting with attractive surroundings and a strong sense of community.
The nearby village of Collingham offers a good range of everyday amenities including a Co-op store, medical centre, public house, primary school, regular bus service and its own railway station.
The historic market town of Newark-on-Trent lies approximately four miles away and provides an excellent range of shops, supermarkets, cafes, restaurants and leisure facilities, together with well regarded schools. Newark is also particularly well placed for commuting, with two railway stations including Newark North Gate which offers high speed rail services to London King's Cross in around 75 minutes, together with convenient road access to Nottingham, Lincoln and the wider region.
The Cottage therefore represents a rare opportunity to acquire a charming period home with generous gardens and paddock land, in a delightful village setting yet within easy reach of excellent amenities and transport links.
