Pristine cottage in heart of Retford has added accommodation and south-facing gardens

This high spec character home with its triple garage block has been carefully extended to suit a modern family seeking space, and indoor to outdoor living in the warmer months of the year.

It can accommodate relative or friends, has room for home working and plenty of options for entertaining, while its cottage style includes wooden beams, York stone flooring, ​an exposed brick chimney breast, ​and log burners​ within its stylish rooms.

All main rooms and bedrooms overlook the walled grounds.

An elegant, tall reception hall with gallery landing leads to the beamed sitting room on one side, and a snug to the other, with its brick chimney breast and dual sided log burner that also serves the living and dining kitchen.

The kitchen with fitted units and granite worktops has an array of quality appliances including a Rangemaster cooking range and a large island. It's a great space for entertaining with doors out to the gardens, and it is supported by a boot room, laundry room and plant room.

A shower room completes the ground floor accommodation.

At first floor level, a rear landing links to four bedrooms, including a main bedroom with vaulted ceiling, and bespoke curved wardrobes concealing a secret opening to its luxury en suite wet room.

A modern family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.

As an added attraction this property has a separate two storey, two bedroom living space, along with the south-facing landscaped, split-level walled garden with outdoor entertaining area, and the garage block.

There is underfloor heating to the ground floor of the main house, with traditional radiators elsewhere.

Tucked away on Rectory Road, with the River Idle and Kings Park close by, the property is also within walking distance of the railway station.
