Step forward Norfolk House, an imposing, detached Victorian residence in Mansfield, built in 1896 and occupying a delightful elevated position, well back from the road.
It is on the market for £615,000 with Mansfield estate agents Richard Watkinson and Partners, whose spokesperson enthused: “It is seldom that a property of this calibre and on this street comes on to the market. Viewing is highly recommended.”
Situated on Norfolk Drive, it offers sprawling family living, spread over three storeys and boasting six double bedrooms, plus substantial gardens.
What’s more, it sits in an exclusive suburban location within a leafy conservation area, yet is within walking distance of Mansfield town centre.
The current owners have carried out extensive improvements to the property, creating a home of high standard. It is typical of the Victorian era, with high ceilings, original coving and picture rails. But modern features include underfloor heating to the ground floor.
That ground floor comprises an entrance hall, utility room, open-plan dining kitchen, family room and lounge.
A split-level first floor, with a galleried landing, features the master bedroom with en suite, two further double bedrooms, a WC and a large family bathroom.
The second floor landing leads to three more double bedrooms and a shower room.
There is also a cellar, with light and power points, which contains a new hot-water cylinder and new gas-fired central heating boiler.

This third double bedroom at Norfolk House is so spacious that it features its own walk-in wardrobe. Again, there are two floor-to-ceiling, double-glazed sash windows that face the front of the property. Photo: Zoopla
16. Family bathroom
Also on the first floor of the six-bedroom Mansfield house is this family bathroom. A four-piece suite with chrome fittings consists of a tiled, inset bathtub, substantial walk-in tiled shower area, pedestal wash hand basin with mixer tap and low-flush WC. A tiled floor, seven ceiling spotlights and a chrome, heated towel-rail add extra lustre. Photo: Zoopla
