Guide price £1,000,000 - £1,150,000

There is an easy rhythm to life here. Mornings often begin in the kitchen, where there’s space for everyone to gather before the day gets underway. On warmer days, coffee naturally moves outside onto the Patio, looking across the garden while the house slowly wakes up around you.

This is a home that has always been lived in fully. Every room has its purpose, whether that’s family time, quieter moments or somewhere to escape with work. The kitchen and utility room quietly hold everything together, especially for a busy household, while two separate living spaces mean children and adults can enjoy their own corners of the home without feeling apart. As the evening settles, the main living area is where family life unfolds, while later, the snug becomes a cosy retreat once the children are asleep.

The house changes beautifully with the seasons. Summer is centred around the garden, with doors opening effortlessly from the living and dining space onto the lawn. When the swimming pool is in use, it becomes the heart of family life and entertaining, with children playing, friends gathering and long afternoons spent outside. Mature trees wrap the garden in privacy once they’re in full leaf, creating a peaceful setting that’s surprisingly secluded.

When winter arrives, life naturally draws back indoors. The warmth of the open fire and the Aga gives the kitchen and main living room a welcoming feel that’s difficult to leave. Large rooms, tall ceilings and plenty of natural light mean the house never feels enclosed, even during the colder months.

Light moves around the property throughout the day thanks to the generous space surrounding the house. Every room catches the sun differently, giving each part of the home its own character from morning through to evening. The bedrooms are equally generous, with the rear bedroom offering a particularly peaceful place to unwind at the end of the day.

For anyone working from home, the office provides a quiet environment with lovely views across the grounds, supported by reliable broadband and strong mobile signal. Practical comforts such as good water pressure, spacious rooms and flexible living make day-to-day life feel easy rather than complicated.

Outside, the level plot is something the owners valued from the very beginning. Flat gardens of this scale are increasingly hard to find in the area, offering room for children to play, space to entertain and plenty of opportunity for future plans. Subject to the necessary permissions, the property also offers exciting potential to extend to the rear while preserving the character of the original home.

The location is just as much a part of daily life as the house itself. Walks down to the River Trent and Sunday lunches at the Nelson have become part of the family’s routine, while the nearby village offers welcoming cafés and amenities within easy reach. Tom Browns and The Old Vol are both close by, adding to the area’s well-known food and riverside lifestyle. Families will appreciate the balance of countryside surroundings while remaining convenient for local schools, everyday shopping and connections into Nottingham.

More than anything, this is a home that has given its owners space. Space for family life, for entertaining, for quiet mornings, for growing children and for imagining what comes next. Of everything they will miss, it’s the privacy of the garden and the sense of peace that stays with you here long after you’ve arrived.
