4 bed detached house for sale

Church Street, Whatton NG13

For thirty-five years, Churchside has been more than just a home to one family. A period village house in the heart of Whatton, tucked into the Vale of Belvoir, refurbished throughout and ready now for its next chapter.

Step through the timber framed porch and the character finds you first. Original beams overhead, and period windows that frame the garden. L At the heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen diner, extended over the years for a growing family, with a breakfast bar for easy meals and the place where children and grandchildren have learnt to cook. There is an Aga, because country living is never quite complete without one, and off the kitchen the lounge opens up to a vaulted ceiling, a bright and generous space that sits beautifully against the low beams elsewhere.

A wood burning stove warms the lounge and dining room, and an open fireplace anchors the formal lounge. There is a study on the ground floor, ready to become whatever life asks of it, and a downstairs layout that flows easily from one room to the next and straight out to the garden.

Upstairs, daylight pours in through the roof light. Four double bedrooms lead off the landing, one of them flexible enough to be kept as a large double, turned into a dressing room or a playroom, or converted to a fifth bedroom. With views over the garden and wooden beams above, the principal bedroom impresses in its own right. From here you have stepped into the walk-in wardrobe or the ensuite. The family bathroom completes the floor.

Outside
It unfolds in three distinct spaces. First, the area spilling straight out from the kitchen diner, along with a pond and water feature. Then, along the garden path, the upper lawn with its Victorian greenhouse. Lastly, the walled garden, a space entirely on its own, made for long dinners under cover and drinks in the sun, private behind old walls and mature planting. A winding driveway, lined with mature planting, opens through electric gates to parking for several cars and a double garage.

Location

Village life, beautifully connected. Bingham is three miles away, with its market place, independent shops, restaurants, supermarkets and gyms. Riverside walks begin from the village, and the train station at Aslockton is a short stroll across the fields, with West Bridgford, Edwalton and Nottingham all an easy drive. From Grantham, the fast line reaches London in just over the hour. For an evening out, Langar Hall and the Martin's Arms at Colston Bassett are both close by.

Countryside living within easy reach of the city, in a home loved for a lifetime and ready for the next chapter.
