Description

If you are the type of buyer who has always wanted more than simply a beautiful home, this is a property that offers the chance to create an entirely different lifestyle. Set within approximately 24 acres of private grounds, this remarkable estate combines elegant country living with genuine income potential, business flexibility and the sort of freedom that is increasingly difficult to find.

For families, it is easy to picture children enjoying the kind of upbringing many only dream about. Exploring the private woodland, playing safely within the grounds, fishing by the lake, spotting wildlife and enjoying endless outdoor adventures in complete privacy. The setting creates a real sense of escape and tranquillity, while still remaining within easy reach of Newark, the A1 and direct rail services into London, making it perfectly suited for buyers balancing countryside living with professional commitments.

The principal residence itself feels like a true long term family home, offering generous and flexible accommodation that works effortlessly for both entertaining and everyday life. Large windows and beautifully positioned living spaces create a constant connection with the surrounding countryside, while the dedicated office space makes working from home both practical and inspiring.

What makes this estate especially exciting is the sheer range of opportunities it presents to the next owner. The luxury holiday lodges overlooking the lake already provide an established and attractive income stream, but there is clear potential for so much more. The setting lends itself beautifully to exclusive-use weddings, boutique corporate retreats, wellness events and countryside experiences. Buyers with vision could create memorable wedding weekends incorporating the lakeside lodges, outdoor entertaining spaces and peaceful surroundings.

Equally, the grounds and additional facilities create superb opportunities for corporate hospitality and business events, with ample space for activities such as clay pigeon shooting, outdoor team building and private entertaining. The industrial buildings, extensive garaging and operational space further increase the versatility of the estate for those requiring storage, workshop facilities or business infrastructure.

For buyers travelling regularly for business, the private landing strip adds another completely unique dimension. Already utilised for microlight aircraft, it offers exceptional convenience for helicopter arrivals and departures, allowing effortless access for business travel or visiting guests in a way very few properties can accommodate.

Whether your ambition is to enjoy an extraordinary family lifestyle, expand a successful hospitality business, create an exclusive events venue or simply own a truly one-of-a-kind country estate, this property delivers possibilities that are exceptionally rare to find within a single holding.
