So it is a pleasure to let you have a look round this charming, detached property in a peaceful and picturesque area of town on Church Street.
Situated on a plot spanning three-quarters of an acre, the four-bedroom bungalow is for sale with Mansfield-based estate agents BuckleyBrown, who have attached a price tag of £675,000.
As you approach it via electric gates, it is soon clear that you are entering a tranquil oasis well worth that kind of money. A large driveway provides ample off-street parking space for many cars and leads to a garage, as well as the front door of the bungalow.
Step inside to find two modern and spacious reception rooms (sitting room and lounge), a stunning kitchen, a conservatory and then a family bathroom and the four high-quality bedrooms, one of which is currently being used as a home office. The master bedroom boasts its own private dressing room and a stylish en suite shower room.
From the lounge, conservatory, master bedroom and home office, you can access the sizeable, landscaped gardens, which include lovely lawns at the front and back, a patio area, seating areas and a superb, wooden gazebo that is perfect for entertaining family and friends in the summer.
