Ravenshead retreat with woodland zip wire and direct access to Newstead Abbey on the market for £1.3M

Spruce Lodge is a substantial detached residence extending to approximately 3,714 square feet, set within over two acres of beautifully established woodland and landscaped grounds in one of Ravenshead’s most desirable locations of Hagnook Wood. From the moment the wrought iron gates open, the approach sets the tone with a sweeping, tree-lined driveway winding through manicured lawns and mature planting, creating a true sense of arrival before the house even comes into view.

The grounds are what truly set this home apart with expanses of lawn framed by established trees, offering complete privacy and a peaceful, almost retreat-like setting. There is space here not only to relax, but to entertain, to explore, and to enjoy the outdoors in a way few homes can offer.

A dedicated outdoor entertaining area provides the perfect setting for summer evenings — complete with seating areas and space for a pizza oven and BBQ gatherings. Whether hosting friends or enjoying quiet family time, the setting feels wonderfully secluded yet effortlessly social.

For those who enjoy an active lifestyle, the grounds incorporate a private golfing practice area, while the sheer scale of the woodland offers endless potential for recreation — including the existing zip wire which adds a playful touch to the landscape.

In addition to the main residence, the property benefits from substantial outbuildings totalling approximately 1,242 square feet, including garages, workshops and a garden room — offering flexibility for hobbies, storage, home working or further lifestyle use.

Perhaps most uniquely, Spruce Lodge enjoys private access directly into Newstead Abbey grounds, reachable in approximately ten minutes on foot — an exceptional feature for those who value countryside walks, heritage surroundings and direct connectivity to one of Nottinghamshire’s most iconic landmarks.

The internal accommodation is generously proportioned and well laid out, offering multiple reception rooms, four bedrooms and a balcony off the principal bedroom overlooking the grounds.

The kitchen forms the true heart of the home — a striking vaulted space where architectural character meets contemporary functionality.

Exposed beams and skylights enhance the sense of volume and flood the room with natural light, while the generous proportions allow it to function as both a practical workspace and a sociable gathering area.

The kitchen flows naturally into a cosy family snug area, where a contemporary log-burning stove provides warmth and atmosphere.

The ground floor of the property also boasts a separate utility room, dining room, study, living room, drawing room and cloakroom / WC.

Upstairs the principal bedroom suite boasts French doors opening directly onto a private balcony — an exceptional feature that allows you to step outside and enjoy elevated views across the grounds. The suite is complemented by a spacious en-suite shower room.

Three other bedrooms and a main family bathroom offer ample space for a growing family.

Outside the property also boasts a distinctive geodesic greenhouse dome, offering a practical space for year-round growing.

The property benefits from two detached double garages, both fitted with electric up-and-over doors and power supply. Positioned within a generous block-paved driveway, there is substantial off-road parking to the front.
