High-end family home near Mansfield sells for more than £700,000 just 24 hours after market reopens

A “stunning” four-bed detached family home, which sold for £749,950, is located in the highly sought-after Brickyard Lane in Farnsfield and is situated on a mature third of an acre plot.

The Southwell estate agency said it has seen a 130 per cent increase in property sales agreed, compared to this time last year, as buyers who stalled during lockdown now pick up the pace.

Emma Gascoine, chief executive at Gascoines, said: “Since the UK went into lockdown and more people have worked remotely from home; the household has now become a higher valued space and people are now thinking about upgrading or relocating.

“As a result, we’ve noticed that properties with modern living spaces, room for home working, and good outdoor areas are in high demand. People have had time to think during lockdown and are more closely considering what they need and want from their homes, which has prompted this surge in demand since the market re-opened.”

Keeping in line with Covid-19 guidelines and social distancing measures, Gascoines now offers virtual tours and 3D floor plans.

Emma added: “Our new virtual tours provide people with the opportunity to really see the exterior and interior of the building and the details, to ensure it’s the property for them.”
