The five/six bedroom residence off Station Road, Belph, Worksop offers generous living spaces filled with a wealth of charm and could be yours for a cool £1M.
The property offers great versatility for a growing family, whilst the established gardens, designed by a Chelsea Flower Show Gold Medalist, provide a beautiful place to escape or entertain. Upon entering Lilac Cottage, you are greeted by the large, open plan living kitchen complete with Smeg range cooker and integrated Bosch dishwasher. Allowing natural light to adorn the room, an oversized aluminium sliding door provides a seamless transition from the living kitchen to the south-facing terrace at the front of the home.
An exposed stone wall and fireplace featuring a Yeoman log burner create a rustic focal point and the functional kitchen area makes every day cooking and dining effortless.
Just off the kitchen is a larder, which incorporates additional cupboard and worktop space for storage and food preparation. Both primary reception rooms, the library and sitting room, boast a homely environment with exposed beams – the perfect place for unwinding and relaxing with family.
A second kitchen also adds to the flexibility of Lilac Cottage and contains an integrated oven and dishwasher. The first floor houses five bedrooms, including an exceptionally spacious master suite with a separate dressing room, which could be used as a sixth bedroom, and an en suite bathroom.
The four further bedrooms are of a good-size, along with two family bathrooms, one of which could be easily utilised as a guest bathroom to bedroom two. Lilac Cottage is positioned with extensive landscaped grounds which have been meticulously designed, planted and maintained by the current owners to form truly amazing outdoor spaces.
The stone flagged seating terrace at the front of the home allows ample room for comfortable seating and is populated with an array of beautiful planting to create a vibrant setting.
A curved patio offers another east-facing aspect, a place for relaxation, as well as having the provision for a hot tub and access to a fabulous reindeer hut and sauna/shower room.
For any tennis lovers or gardening enthusiasts, Lilac Cottage has a full-size, enclosed tennis court with a carpet surface, and a superb kitchen garden with eight raised beds, offering a productive area for growing a host of fruits and vegetables.
Outbuildings include a double garage with a first floor multifunctional room as well as the reindeer hut, sauna/shower room and wood store. The hamlet of Belph is a highly sought-after rural area within the district of Bolsover and is on the edge of the Welbeck Estate.
The Estate spans impressive acreage and contains miles of trails for exploration, an award-winning farm shop, Harley Cafe and The Portland Gallery.
One of the circular walks takes in Belph Brook, which is just a stone’s throw away from Lilac Cottage, and continues through scenic countryside. Creswell Crags is also accessible within reasonable walking distance.
