** NO CHAIN ** Set in an enviable semi-rural location surrounded by open countryside, we have the privilege of offering to the market this detached character family home with four bedrooms, three reception rooms and substantial outbuildings/garaging.
A rare opportunity to acquire a spacious detached family home occupying a wonderful, landscaped plot extending to circa 0.45 of an acre with a range of outbuildings/garaging in a most delightful semi-rural setting bordering to open countryside to the front and rear.
High Park is a former barn believed to date back to the 19th Century and was converted into a residential dwelling in 1983 with later extended additions to the front, side and rear. The property offers a spacious layout of living accommodation with character features across two floors extending to circa 2196 sq ft. The ground floor comprises an entrance porch, WC and three dual aspect reception rooms: a living room, dining room and sitting room. In addition, there is a utility room housing the Navien oil fired central heating boiler and a contemporary kitchen with integrated appliances open plan to a garden room extension. The first floor galleried landing leads to a large master bedroom with a contemporary en suite. There is a guest bedroom, two further bedrooms, a separate office, and a family bathroom.
High Park stands in an enviable semi-rural setting surrounded by open countryside, yet within easy reach of local amenities in the surrounding villages of Blidworth and Ravenshead and the centre of Mansfield only a 15 minute drive away. The property is approached by a driveway leading to a large farm gate and pedestrian gated entrance through to a substantial gravel driveway with turning space. The property comes with a substantial range of outbuildings extending in total to 958 sq ft. There is a stables/storage outbuilding equipped with power and light housing the oil tank. In addition, there is a large open fronted car barn garage with two adjoining workshops equipped with power and light and with king post truss features. The gardens are truly outstanding, beautifully manicured and maintained by our clients - a flower arrangers' dream! The front gardens include lawns, extensive borders with plants and shrubs and a selection of trees including a double blossom white cherry and plum. To the side of the house, there is an enclosed, southwest facing garden with a block paved patio, lawn, extensive borders with plants, shrubs, a pink cherry tree, high hedgerow boundaries on two sides and a brick walled boundary separating this area from the driveway. To the rear of the property, there are extensive lawns and a variety of ornamental plants, mature shrubs and wonderful trees offering a lovely, sheltered setting at the end of the plot. The garden continues with a gravel patio off the sitting room with sleepers steps leading underneath a pergola to a large gravel seating area with extensive raised flowerbeds.
Overall, we feel this is a unique opportunity to acquire a lovely family home offered to the market with the benefit of no upward chain, and internal viewing is highly recommended.

High Park Land, Horses & Livery - Whilst High Park does not have its own land sufficient for keeping a horse, this doesn't necessarily rule it out for a horse owner. Opportunities include:
. A livery stable less than 400 yards away on Cross Lane.
. Numerous fields split up for grazing with stabling in 3 directions, many within 50-200 yards walking distance with possible opportunities to share.
. Some plots for sale for potential equestrian (subject to use agreement), the nearest with walking access within 200 yards.
In practical terms the current owners' daughter kept a horse for many years, combining the use of our on-site stables with nearby livery, effectively giving the best of both worlds. She had full livery within walking distance which avoided the need to be up at 6.00 in the morning to feed, muck out etc knowing that her horse was safe with plenty of feed (and company). At weekends, occasionally during the week when time allowed, and regularly during holidays, she would bring her horse back to the property and use the stables for on-site shelter, grooming, feeding etc and enabling her to ride directly from the property. The availability of 3 stables (plus the barn) gave more than adequate facility for storing all the horse's fodder and equipment in a secure, dry and comfortable facility.
