And yet it possesses a unique charm that can be the perfect, and highly affordable, sanctuary for growing families seeking the tranquillity of rural life, with easy access to bigger, busier towns nearby.
Among the pick of the homes on the Annesley property market at the moment is this attractive four-bedroom, detached property at Owston Road, which has a guide price of £325,000 with Hucknall-based estate agents HoldenCopley. The house, stylishly presented, ticks so many boxes and, what’s more, there is no upward chain.
An inviting entrance hall welcomes you inside, leading to a kitchen diner and spacious living room, both of which have French doors to the garden, a bright dining room, a utility room and a downstairs WC.
On the first floor, you will find a well-appointed three-piece bathroom suite and all four bedrooms, including a master with en suite facilities.
Outside, a driveway at the front offers off-street parking space and leads to a detached garage. To the rear is a private, enclosed garden that includes a lawn, patio, gravelled seating area and planted borders adding colour.
