A Grade II Listed, three storey, four bedroom detached house with substantial detached outbuildings in all extending to circa 4,255 sq ft, occupying a large and level plot approaching half an acre in a truly stunning semi-rural setting with wonderful open views.
A Grade II Listed four double bedroom detached house with considerable potential in a truly stunning semi-rural setting on Norwood Lane surrounded by open countryside with wonderful views.
Norwood Lodge is believed to date back to the early 18th Century built from stone elevations with stone mullion windows to the front, and later brick built extensions to the side and rear elevations, all beneath a pantile roof.
Our clients have owned the property for more than 20 years and have retained the wealth of original character features throughout the house. The accommodation spans across three floors with oil fired central heating, ledge and brace doors, an Aga Alpha cooking range, heavily beamed ceilings, a superb inglenook brick fireplace with log burner, and an original stone back staircase.
The internal floor area including the cellar extends to circa 2,611 sq ft; on the ground floor comprising an entrance porch, hall with stone steps leading to a cellar, lounge with walk-in alcove, sitting room, lobby, breakfast kitchen, conservatory, inner hallway, preparation kitchen and a shower room. A back staircase from the kitchen leads to an independent bedroom. The first floor main landing leads to two good sized double bedrooms and an en suite WC/sink. The second floor leads to bedroom 4 and a separate large en suite bathroom comprising a five piece suite.
Norwood Lodge occupies a large and level plot extending to circa 0.419 of an acre, set back from Norwood Lane behind a wrought iron railings frontage and a farm gate entrance which leads on to a substantial block paved circular driveway with turning space and a large integral double garage. There is a central garden area with a range of mature shrubs and trees as well as an additional front garden area laid to lawn with a continuation of the wrought iron frontage bordering to Norwood Lane. There is a substantial, 750 sq ft, stone built detached outbuilding equipped with power and light and with a high 15ft vaulted ceiling, currently utilised as a workshop with an adjoining external stone and solid oak lean to fronting on to the driveway. In our opinion this offers fantastic potential and could be converted to self contained living accommodation subject to obtaining necessary planning permission. In addition, there is a detached brick built outbuilding housing two oil tanks situated in the rear garden. A gravel pathway and seating area to the side of the property with a mature conifer boundary leads to the rear garden. The rear garden enjoys excellent privacy featuring a central copper beech tree, large lawn and an extensive gravel patio which extends the full width of the property. There are established trees to all sides and a post a rail fence boundary to the rear affording wonderful views across adjacent countryside.
The overall floor area to include the house accommodation, double garage, outbuildings and lean to extends to circa 4,255 sq ft.
Norwood Lodge has a fabulous location, with its delightful semi-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 neighbouring 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.
So, if you are after a property with immense character and history with great potential on a large plot with wonderful views then this could be your next move!
