Romantic charm oozes from every corner of The Three Horseshoes, a former pub and adjoining cottage at Lower Bagthorpe in the small village of Bagthorpe within the parish of Selston.
Dating back to the 1700s, the property retains its original character and yet, at the same time, provides all you would want from a contemporary, versatile four-bedroom home. Kimberley and Eastwood-based estate agents, Watsons, are inviting offers of more than £700,000 for the period pearl.
The house sits back from the road as part of a mature and well-established landscape that can be accessed via two driveways. A double-storey extension to the side means it provides more space than is initially evident from front-on viewing.
As you step inside, you go back in time, courtesy of a wealth of traditional features, including exposed beams, impressive fireplaces, latched doors and slate tiled flooring. Yet a sitting room, lounge, inner hall, dining kitchen, dining room, study, utility room, shower room, four bedrooms, two en suite rooms and a family bathroom add up to a terrific family residence.
Outside, the plot stretches to one-third of an acre, with beautiful and established gardens to the front, rear and side. Features include a covered well, three ponds, well-maintained lawns, mature trees, flowerbed borders, tiered rockery beds, plants and shrubs, raised vegetable beds, a log store, a greenhouse and brick-built potting shed and coal house.
Several patio seating areas, including an amazing, secluded one, allow you to soak up the sun and marvel at stunning views across nearby fields, while the driveways offer ample off-street parking space and lead to a detached double garage with two electric roll-up doors, light and power.
