So how fitting that our featured Ashfield property this week, within the popular village, is very much fit for a president and one that we are sure JFK would have approved of.
It is a four-bedroom, detached house on Wagstaff Lane that is on the market for £575,000 with Hucknall-based estate agents, Need2View, who describe it as “stunning and modern”, complete with a “beautiful garden and amazing countryside views”.
All is revealed below in our photo gallery, while you can visit the Zoopla website here for more information, including a floor plan.
But in brief, the property offers two reception rooms on the ground floor, a large dining kitchen, a utility room and a WC, while the first floor houses three double bedrooms, including two en suites, and a family bathroom.
The house was originally built with four bedrooms, but one was knocked through to create a huge master. This work could easily be reversed, if required.
Outside, you will find a lengthy driveway at the front, providing off-street parking space for multiple vehicles, and that terrific, enclosed garden at the back, featuring patio areas and a sizeable lawn. There is also a detached, brick-built garage with tiled roof.
As for Jacksdale itself, the former mining village remains a prized place to live, especially as it is within convenient reach of shops, amenities and schools, as well as the towns of Eastwood, Kirkby and Alfreton.

Time to check out the first floor now, so it's back into the entrance hallway to negotiate the pretty staircase. Photo: Neil Lancashire

At the top of the stairs, you are greeted by this first-floor landing, which leads to all three bedrooms and the family bathroom. It also has access to a loft space. Photo: Neil Lancashire

16. Vast space created
Here you can see how the vast space within the master bedroom has been created by knocking through to what was another bedroom originally. There is now space for wardrobes and a dressing area if required, although the work can be reversed to return to four bedrooms, if you wish. Photo: Neil Lancashire
