Introducing Rydal House on High Oakham Road, a magnificent five-bedroom detached home that is for sale with Nottingham-based estate agents Belvoir Sales for an asking price of £795,000.
With more than 3,000 square feet of living space, the property maintains many original features from its early days more than 100 years ago, such as high ceilings, large sash windows, deep plaster covings, picture rails, deep skirting boards and cast-iron radiators.
But it has moved with the times too, and is decorated to an amazingly high standard, while offering the kind of space and flexibility demanded by a 21st century family.
The highlight of the ground floor is an open-plan kitchen that flows into a stunning garden room or orangery. This leads to a newly landscaped, private garden, which is a veritable sun trap and features a pond and fountain
The ground-floor hallway also guides you to a living room or lounge, a sitting room or den, a beautiful library and a utility room, while all five, good-sized bedrooms, as well as a custom-built family bathroom, are upstairs. The primary bedroom has access to a four-piece en suite.
Outside, as well as the garden, there is parking space spanning the length of the plot, leading to a detached double garage, complete with large workbench.
A spokesperson for Belvoir Sales says: “This property is a rare find. The current owners had not planned on selling, hence the many improvements that have been recently undertaken. It is being sold with no upward chain.”
