We have the privilege of presenting to the market this substantial detached family home occupying a stunning, south west facing large plot extending to circa 0.393 of an acre in a sought after village location.
Monsal House was built circa 1982 from stone elevations beneath a clay pantile roof, offering spacious family accommodation extending to approximately 2,606 sq ft. Our client recently had new contemporary graphite grey windows and a front entrance door installed, a new premium grade oil fired central heating boiler, and a new oil tank is due to be fitted shortly. In addition, Severn Trent are in the process of installing mains drainage to properties in the village and by the end of July 2021, the connection to this property should be complete.
The ground floor layout of accommodation comprises an entrance porch, entrance hall, study, dining room, a wonderful triple aspect lounge with lovely views of the garden, kitchen diner, utility and a shower room. The first floor galleried landing leads to four spacious double bedrooms - including a master suite with dressing area, walk-in wardrobe and a good sized en suite. There are three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom comprising a four piece suite.
The property occupies the most delightful landscaped plot with beautifully maintained gardens to the front, side and rear, boasting the benefit of facing east, south and west to maximise sunlight throughout the day. Access to the property is from Buttery Lane set back behind painted graphite grey timber gated entrance which leads onto a substantial sweeping gravel driveway and large attached double garage with a remote controlled electric up and over door. The gardens feature extensive lawns which continue beyond the house sheltered by established trees. There are wonderful deep borders with a variety of colourful plants, established shrubs, a veg plot, and extensive and mature hedgerow boundaries with laurel bushes on all sides. There are a number of seating areas including a gravel area from the driveway to the front of the property which extends to a pathway leading round to the side of the house where you are greeted by a large paved patio. Situated in the middle of the plot, a lovely circular paved seating area is another super place to sit out on a summer's evening benefiting from the south west facing aspect. There is a beautiful and enclosed garden to the rear of the house with gated entrances at each end giving full 360-degree access around the property. This area features a circular lawn, another circular paved patio, a low maintenance gravel area, and a variety of established plants and shrubs. To the rear of the garage houses the new oil tank and further gravel areas enclosed by a high boundary hedge.
Monsal House has a fabulous location, with its delightful rural setting and yet still being in an incredibly convenient location within close proximity to Hardwick Hall, the Teversal trails and Silverhill (one of the highest points in Nottinghamshire) which all offer some beautiful walks straight from the property. There are an excellent range of amenities nearby including the highly regarded The Carnarvon pub/restaurant, excellent links to the M1 and Chesterfield train station which offers a well serviced route reaching London in under two hours. The delightful village of Teversal also comes stacked with a well established history including links to D.H Lawrence and the 5th Earl of Carnarvon, who was the financial backer in the excavation of Tutankhamen's tomb which is celebrated with a feature mosaic on entry to the village itself.
Overall, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a superb family home and viewing is highly recommended.
