Discover your own country retreat at Pear Tree House

Pear Tree House, Lime Avenue, Firbeck 

Secluded without feeling remote, Pear Tree House is an elegant country home set within private grounds approaching one acre, on the edge of open countryside in the sought after village of Firbeck. Extensively upgraded over recent years and offering close to 3,800 sq ft of beautifully curated accommodation, this is a home that balances indulgent living with a relaxed rural lifestyle.

A Sense Of Arrival 

Pull through the wrought iron gates and between stone walls into the private driveway, where there is parking for up to six vehicles alongside a substantial double garage. The sense of space and privacy is immediate, with Pear Tree House sitting confidently within its grounds, framed by mature planting and open countryside beyond.

There is a calm assuredness to this arrival, one that quietly signals both scale and seclusion before you even step inside, setting the tone for the lifestyle that unfolds beyond the front door.

The Entrance Hall 

Before stepping fully inside, a practical porch with sliding framed doors provides the perfect place to shed muddy boots and coats after winter walks, keeping the main house beautifully ordered.

Pass through the solid oak front door and the scale of Pear Tree House immediately reveals itself. Amtico wood effect flooring features throughout much of the ground floor, bringing a sense of cohesion and durability, and is offered with the remainder of its ten-year guarantee. A generous entrance hall and lobby opens out ahead, offering multiple options for fitted storage while providing access to both staircases and the principal living spaces. It is a space that works hard day to day, yet still feels welcoming and impressive, giving a clear sense of how well this home flows. Also located off the entrance hall is a discreet ground floor WC alongside a useful plant room cupboard, keeping essential services neatly tucked away while preserving the clean lines of this welcoming space.

Follow The Flow 

First, to the left of the entrance hall, the sitting room offers a warm and welcoming retreat. Generous in scale yet undeniably cosy, this dual aspect room is filled with natural light throughout the day.

At its heart sits an inset multi fuel log burner set upon a ceramic tiled hearth, creating a natural focal point and adding warmth and atmosphere through the cooler months. A bespoke solid oak fitted bookcase lines one wall, providing both character and practical storage, while plush cream carpeting underfoot enhances the sense of comfort.

There is ample space here for relaxed seating alongside a discreet study area to the rear of the room, making this a versatile space that works equally well for quiet evenings, reading by the fire or working from home.

At The Heart Of The Home 

The kitchen is very much the heart of Pear Tree House, a beautifully bespoke space sourced from Studio 10 in Bakewell. Farmhouse style fitted cabinetry is paired with Calacatta Gold Silestone worktops, creating a timeless yet highly practical setting for everyday life and entertaining.

A Chambord butler’s sink sits comfortably within the scheme, while ample fitted storage is complemented by a large central island, complete with plug sockets and a sociable breakfast bar where family and friends naturally gather.

Appliances are predominantly Siemens and include two fridges, a freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer, ensuring everything is thoughtfully integrated and close to hand. An electric Everhot adds warmth and character, alongside the convenience of a hot and cold filtered water tap.

French doors open out to a private courtyard, the perfect spot for a small bistro set and relaxed summer dining.

Entertain In Style 

Stepping down from a solid oak balcony into the dining room, a space designed for memorable gatherings. There is ample room here for a large dining table seating up to ten, making it ideal for hosting family celebrations and long, relaxed dinners with friends.

For those seeking to enhance the character further, there is the option to open the fireplace back up, creating an additional focal point and adding warmth and atmosphere to the room.

Opening directly from here is the garden room, an Amdego conservatory with a hardwood timber frame. Its timeless design ties beautifully into the character of the home, creating a light filled space that bridges indoor living with the garden beyond.

Gather And Unwind 

The main lounge is a wonderfully generous room designed for coming together. Anchored by a stone fireplace and hearth housing a multi fuel burner, it offers warmth and atmosphere while retaining a sense of scale.

Accessed via double doors from the dining room or directly from the main entrance hall, the flow here is effortless and ideal for entertaining. French patio doors open onto the rear garden, while large windows to both the front and rear maximise the outlook and draw natural light throughout the day.

A Sonos sound bar connects to the home speaker system, with Bluetooth control operated from the entrance hall, creating an immersive yet discreet audio experience. With ample space for generous seating, this is a room made for gathering with family, relaxed evenings by the fire and hosting friends in comfort. Whether used as an additional sitting area or a place to dine while watching the seasons change, it adds another layer of versatility to the ground floor.

Practical Touches 

Supporting the main house is a detached garage block, which incorporates a utility room and an additional office or store to the rear. This provides excellent ancillary space, keeping day to day practicalities neatly tucked away from the main living areas while offering further flexibility for hobbies or home working.

Principal suite 

At the top of the main bespoke solid oak staircase, the main landing opens out with useful eaves storage and a charming window seat complete with under seat storage, a quiet spot to pause and take in the outlook.

To the left, the principal suite reveals both its scale and thoughtful design. A full wall of bespoke solid oak cabinetry leads seamlessly into the dressing room, complete with a fitted dressing table and Amtico flooring, which continues through into the luxurious ensuite.

The ensuite is beautifully appointed with a rainfall shower, vanity unit with wash basin, WC, heated towel radiator and a heated LED mirror with shaver socket, creating a calm, spa like atmosphere.

The bedroom itself comfortably accommodates super king size furniture alongside a relaxed seating area. Behind the bed, access is provided to a large eaves storage space, ensuring practicality is discreetly woven into this indulgent retreat.

Restful Retreats  

A home designed with flexibility in mind, Pear Tree House benefits from two separate staircases. To the left of the entrance hall, a secondary staircase leads to what could be considered a guest wing or an ideal arrangement for children’s bedrooms, offering a sense of independence and privacy from the principal suite.

At the top of the stairs, the landing opens out comfortably, with two large storage cupboards and access to a loft hatch, ensuring practicality is well catered for.

Bedroom two is a generous guest bedroom, easily accommodating a king size bed alongside additional space for relaxed seating or a dressing area. Built in storage keeps the room feeling calm and uncluttered, while the ensuite shower room is well appointed with a walk in shower, WC, wash basin and heated towel radiator.

From a separate rear hallway, bedrooms three and four are accessed, making this layout particularly well suited to family living. Both are double bedrooms with bespoke fitted cabinetry. Bedroom three sits on the front elevation, enjoying leafy views along the tree lined Lime Avenue, while bedroom four overlooks the rear garden and the neighbouring grounds of Firbeck Hall, with additional space for a dressing table.

Serving these bedrooms and accessed from the main hallway is the family bathroom, fitted with a large walk in shower with inset power rainfall shower, WC, wash basin and heated towel radiator. Additional storage is provided within the airing cupboard, which also houses the main hot water cylinder, keeping everything neatly contained.

Garden Escapes 

Outside, the grounds are a defining feature of Pear Tree House. Extending to approximately one acre, the gardens have been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully designed to offer both structure and softness.

Formal lawns are framed by established planting, while stone walls and hedging provide a sense of enclosure without interrupting the open views across adjoining countryside and woodland. A large private patio creates the perfect spot for outdoor dining and entertaining, with space to host summer gatherings or simply enjoy a quiet morning coffee.

A pond and stream add a natural focal point and encourage wildlife, while a wilder area to the rear allows the landscape to blend seamlessly into its rural surroundings. Separate vehicular access to the gardens further enhances the practicality of the plot.

On Your Doorstep 

Firbeck is a picturesque village with a strong sense of community, where rural walks begin right from your front door. The well regarded village Pub, The Black Lion and the church are both within a short walk, offering the charm of village life without compromise.

Tickhill lies approximately five miles away, providing a wider range of independent shops, cafes and amenities, while excellent road links place the A1 and M18 within easy reach, making commuting straightforward. Retford and Doncaster Train Stations provide excellent rail options to Sheffield, Leeds and London.

Despite its idyllic setting, Pear Tree House remains exceptionally well connected, offering the best of both worlds for those seeking countryside living without isolation.

A Lifestyle To Savour 

Pear Tree House is a home that invites you to slow down and enjoy your surroundings. With generous accommodation, beautifully tended grounds and a location that combines village life with open countryside, it offers a lifestyle that feels both indulgent and grounded.

This is a place to put down roots, host memorable gatherings and enjoy the changing seasons from the comfort of a truly outstanding family home.
