A stone built four bedroom semi detached character family home, occupying a substantial and most delightful south facing plot approaching half an acre.

The fascinating history of the property starts around the early 1700s, originally a row of workshops adjacent to the old Warp Mill, one of a string of mills along the River Leen at Hucknall and Linby. During the early 1900s they were modernised and converted into three separate one-up-one-down residential cottages. During the mid twentieth century, the previous owners carried out a comprehensive campaign of refurbishment which took several years, and which has resulted in a spacious home ideal for growing families. Our clients have been in residence for almost three decades and maintained the property to a high standard throughout.

The living accommodation on the ground floor boasts good sized south facing rooms, most of which are a dual aspect, comprising: an entrance porch, dining room, lounge, billiard room, breakfast kitchen, utility room and a cloakroom. The first floor landing/study area leads to four bedrooms and a family bathroom comprising a four piece suite. There are three substantial rooms in the loft offering scope for conversion adding additional bedrooms and bathrooms, subject to obtaining necessary planning permission. The property has typical period features, timber windows and gas central heating.

The property is approached from Papplewick Lane via a farm gated entrance leading onto a long sweeping gravel driveway with ample turning space. Beyond here and to the side of the house is a large block paved car standing area and double garage. The front garden enjoys a wonderful south facing aspect, with beautifully maintained gardens featuring lawns, large pond, and a variety of established trees and shrubs offering a lovely environment. To the rear of the property there is a delightfully pretty garden with open aspects beyond, offering ample seating areas, raised lawn and borders with mature planting and shrubs. There is a garden room/studio equipped with power and light.
