Agent Ref Sally McQuillan A Beautifully Lit First Impression

The property makes an immediate impression, approached across a beautifully designed frontage where Quorn Stone sandstone cobbles lead onto a generous golden flint gravel driveway, providing ample off-road parking.

Low-level brick walls create an attractive sense of arrival, complemented by carefully positioned planting and striking up-and-down wall lights which illuminate the frontage beautifully as evening falls. A covered entrance porch frames the front door, while the substantial adjoining double garage adds excellent practicality and offers exciting potential for a future extension above, subject to the necessary planning permission.

Cleverly concealed bin storage is positioned behind a discreet wooden gate beside the garage, preserving the clean and beautifully maintained appearance of the frontage. Gated access also leads around the side of the house to the rear garden.

A Warm Welcome, Beautifully Finished

The welcoming entrance hall immediately introduces the considered finish found throughout the home. Porcelain floor tiles flow seamlessly through the entire ground floor, creating a cohesive and practical foundation, while the understated Farrow & Ball and Little Greene colour palette brings a calm, contemporary feel.

The hallway opens into a spacious central reception area, from which the principal ground-floor rooms are accessed. A striking traditional-style column radiator adds character, while the beautifully crafted oak-clad staircase and matching balustrade form a particularly impressive focal point as they rise to the first floor.

A Stylish and Practical Guest Cloakroom

Conveniently positioned beside the entrance hall, the generously proportioned ground-floor cloakroom continues the home’s elegant decorative scheme. It is fitted with a modern suite comprising a WC and countertop wash basin set upon a contemporary vanity unit, accompanied by a tiled splashback, heated towel rail and window providing natural light.

The Heart of the Home – Designed for Cooking, Gathering and Entertaining

Extending to almost 300 sq ft across the kitchen and dining areas, this beautifully designed space forms the sociable heart of the home. The kitchen itself measures approximately 17'11" x 10'9" and is fitted with an extensive range of in-frame, solid-pine Shaker cabinetry, finished with elegant Corston Architectural Detail hardware and luxurious quartz worktops.

A contrasting central island provides additional storage, preparation space and informal seating, making it equally suited to busy family mornings, relaxed conversation and entertaining. The kitchen is comprehensively equipped with a Rangemaster dual-fuel range cooker and matching extractor hood, an integrated dishwasher, and a Rangemaster sink and tap. A full-height housing unit accommodates the American-style fridge freezer, while extensive cabinetry and generous work surfaces ensure the room is as practical as it is attractive.

Multiple windows bring excellent natural light into the kitchen while offering views towards the garden, complemented by recessed ceiling lighting and a traditional-style column radiator. The porcelain floor tiles continue seamlessly from the hallway, enhancing the sense of space and cohesion throughout the ground floor.

A wide opening connects the kitchen with the dedicated dining area, measuring approximately 9'10" x 10'10". Three pendant lights define the space above a generously sized dining table, while a glazed door opens directly onto the porcelain patio and rear garden—perfect for summer dining and effortless indoor-outdoor entertaining.

Beyond the dining area, a broad opening leads into the substantial living room, creating a wonderfully connected arrangement in which the kitchen, dining and relaxation spaces remain individually defined yet flow naturally together. Internal access to the utility room and the central hallway completes this highly functional family layout.

A Utility Room Finished to the Same Standard

Positioned just off the kitchen, the utility room measures approximately 7'3" x 7'7" and has been finished with the same level of care as the principal living spaces.

Matching in-frame Shaker cabinetry is complemented by Corston Architectural Detail hardware and quartz worktops, together with a Rangemaster sink and tap. There is dedicated space for both a washing machine and tumble dryer, extensive cupboard storage—including two full-height units—and a traditional ceiling-mounted drying rack.

The porcelain floor tiles continue seamlessly into the room, while recessed lighting and a glazed external door provide plenty of light and convenient access to the outside.

Where the Evenings Slow Down

Measuring approximately 19'0" x 13'11", the wonderfully spacious living room provides an inviting place to relax while remaining naturally connected to the adjoining dining area and wider family spaces.

The room’s focal point is a striking Jøtul log-burning stove, set against an elegant tiled surround supplied by Quorn Stone. Decorative wall panelling, statement pendant lighting and the carefully selected Farrow & Ball and Little Greene colour palette bring warmth and character, while the porcelain floor tiles continue the beautifully cohesive finish found throughout the ground floor.

A front-facing window and broad glazed opening into the conservatory allow natural light to travel through the room from both aspects. The connection with the conservatory also draws the garden into the living space, while the generous proportions comfortably accommodate multiple sofas without compromising the feeling of openness.

A wide opening leads naturally into the dining area and onwards to the kitchen, creating an ideal balance: A cosy room for quieter evenings that remains connected to the heart of the home when family and friends gather.

A Versatile Room Overlooking the Garden

Opening directly from the living room, the conservatory measures approximately 13'1" x 11'10" and provides a valuable additional reception space. Currently arranged as a home gym, its generous proportions would lend themselves equally well to use as a garden room, playroom, hobby room or quiet home office.

UPVC double glazing and a glazed roof allow natural light to fill the room, while the wide garden outlook makes the most of the privacy and unobstructed rural views beyond. Double doors open directly onto the lawn, providing easy access to the garden and a wonderful position from which to enjoy the evening sunsets.

A Generous Principal Bedroom with Rural Views

The principal bedroom is an exceptionally generous and peaceful space, measuring approximately 16'9" x 10'10". Its well-balanced proportions comfortably accommodate a king-size bed alongside substantial freestanding furniture, with ample room remaining for a dressing table or dedicated seating area.

Two rear-facing windows fill the room with natural light and enjoy unobstructed views across the garden and surrounding countryside. The warm wood-effect flooring and soft, neutral decoration create a calm atmosphere, while a private en-suite completes the principal suite.

A Private En-Suite Shower Room

The en-suite is fitted with a corner shower enclosure, WC and countertop wash basin set upon a contemporary vanity unit. Tiled walls and flooring provide a practical finish, complemented by recessed lighting and useful storage.

Three Further Well-Proportioned Bedrooms

The remaining three bedrooms are all bright, thoughtfully presented and genuinely useful rooms, offering excellent flexibility for family life, guests and home working.

Bedroom two is an impressive double measuring approximately 14'0" x 10'9". Currently arranged as a nursery, it comfortably accommodates substantial furniture and enjoys a wide rear-facing window with far-reaching views across the garden and surrounding countryside.

Bedroom three measures approximately 10'7" x 10'9" and is another comfortable double, with sufficient space for a dedicated desk or dressing area. Its rear-facing window captures the same open rural outlook and fills the room with natural light.

Bedroom four measures approximately 12'0" x 8'0" and is presently used as a home office and occasional bedroom. Its proportions make it equally suitable as a child’s bedroom, guest room, study or creative space.

Each room continues the home’s calm, complementary colour palette and warm wood-effect flooring, creating a cohesive finish throughout the first floor.

A Well-Appointed Family Bathroom

The family bathroom is fitted with a contemporary white suite comprising a panelled bath with rainfall and handheld shower fittings, a curved glass screen, WC and countertop wash basin set upon a stylish vanity unit.

Terrazzo-effect flooring and coordinating splashbacks add character, balanced by complementary neutral wall tiling around the bath and shower area. A frosted UPVC window provides natural light and privacy, with recessed ceiling lighting and a heated towel rail completing the room.

A South-West Facing Garden with Unforgettable Sunsets

Occupying a plot of approximately 0.17 acres, the property enjoys an exceptional south-west facing rear garden that combines space, privacy and an uninterrupted outlook across open countryside. With no properties directly behind, the garden feels wonderfully secluded while remaining open to the landscape and evening sky beyond.

A broad porcelain-tiled patio extends across the rear of the house, creating a natural continuation of the indoor living space and providing ample room for outdoor dining, entertaining and relaxed seating. It can be accessed directly from the dining area, conservatory and utility room, while feature up-and-down wall lights illuminate the rear elevation beautifully after dark.

The substantial lawn is bordered by mature hedging and established planting, with raised flowerbeds and a dedicated gravelled growing area positioned towards the far boundary. A separate raised deck has been thoughtfully placed to capture the very best of the outlook, providing a peaceful spot from which to sit and watch the sun descend across the neighbouring fields.

It is the sunsets, however, that make this garden truly memorable. The open south-westerly aspect delivers spectacular, ever-changing skies that can be enjoyed from the patio, lawn, conservatory and rear-facing rooms—turning an ordinary evening at home into something genuinely special.

Useful and Secure External Storage

A separate externally accessed storage room measures approximately 6'11" x 7'0" and provides valuable additional space for bicycles, gardening equipment, outdoor furniture and household storage. Positioned conveniently beside the double garage, it helps keep practical items organised and away from the principal living accommodation.

Village Life, Riverside Walks and Excellent Connections

Fiskerton is a welcoming Trent-side village with a genuine sense of community, combining a peaceful rural setting with excellent connections and useful everyday amenities. The village is home to The Bromley, a popular riverside pub with outdoor seating overlooking the River Trent, together with a well-stocked village shop and Post Office.

Fiskerton railway station provides direct services to Nottingham in approximately 20 minutes and Newark Castle in around eight to ten minutes, making the village particularly convenient for commuters. The shops, cafés, schools and historic centre of Southwell are also within easy reach.

For families, the property is within the sought-after Minster School catchment, with school transport into Southwell serving The Minster School and Lowe’s Wong infant and junior schools.

What makes Fiskerton especially appealing, however, is its community spirit. The annual Fiskofest brings the village together, while the much-loved Christmas Santa Tractor Run passes through Fiskerton each year, creating one of those wonderfully festive village occasions that residents of all ages look forward to.
