What’s not to like about this substantial, detached house, which has just taken the Mansfield property market by storm with a whopping guide price of £1,250,000 set by estate agents Savills?
Built in the 1950s but completely refurbished by the current owners in 2010, it is a magnificent family home in a beautiful setting within the sought-after Berry Hill area of town.
Clare Bingham, property agent at Savills in Nottingham, says: “The owners have carried out an incredibly stylish renovation, which has culminated in a contemporary home that offers flexible accommodation. The sale represents a very rare opportunity to purchase one of the area’s most well-regarded properties.”
Roebuck Drive, an enclave of high-quality houses, provides a tree-lined approach towards the remotely-operated gated entrance to the home, which is known as Appledore. A full turning circle provides ample space for off-street parking, while a double garage, with remote up-and-over doors, sits close by.
Go in through a mirrored porch and marvel at a spacious and modern entrance hall, with heating underneath the tiled floor.
Off the hall is a useful boot room and cloakroom with WC and Lusso hand wash basin, and not far away is a home office or study.
The main sitting room is a huge space with French doors that lead out to the back garden, while the dining room is an ideal spot for entertaining.
A stylish, well-appointed kitchen boasts underfloor heating and sliding doors to the rear patio and a utility room. A walk-in shower room can also be found on the ground floor.
A stunning, curved oak staircase leads to the first floor, where a stepped landing guides you to five double bedrooms and two bathrooms.
The main bedroom has views overlooking the tiered garden, while the main family bathroom is a striking sight.
Outside, the plot extends to 0.45 acres, bordered by mature hedges and trees giving quiet privacy. The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn but also features a pond, tree-lined borders and lighting.
Stone steps lead from one part of the garden to an elevated patio area and also the heated swimming pool, which was re-modelled only five years ago, complete with composite decked seating.
The bespoke greenhouse, with self-closing, temperature-regulating windows, houses the pool’s cleaning filter and heat system.
