How timely then that one of the most desirable residences in Linby, a two-bedroom, grade II listed property, is on the market for a guide price of £375,000 to £400,000 with Hucknall estate agents HoldenCopley.
Built more than 100 years ago, the cottage in the heart of the village, on Main Street, and oozes character, charm and elegance. It has been sympathetically restored for modern living, while retaining a range of original features to create a home that is tastefully appointed and generously proportioned.
Downstairs, you will find an entrance hall, two reception rooms and a fitted breakfast kitchen. Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms and a five-piece bathroom suite.
Outside, at the back of the cottage, there is a good-sized garden and a versatile outhouse that is currently being used as a utility room. Off-street parking space for multiple cars is provided by a gated driveway. At the front is a courtyard area with stone-built boundaries and gated access.
