Watnall, Nottingham, NG16

*** TWO EXCEPTIONAL DETACHED HOMES SET IN OVER TWO ACRES ***

An outstanding and highly individual countryside residence offering two beautifully appointed detached properties within just over two acres of private grounds. Combining a charming character cottage with a striking detached barn conversion, this exceptional property presents a rare opportunity for those seeking multi-generational living, independent accommodation or an enviable country lifestyle. Thoughtfully renovated to an impressive standard throughout, both properties blend character features with sophisticated contemporary finishes, while the extensive grounds incorporate paddocks, stabling, an orchard and beautifully established outdoor spaces.

THE COTTAGE - Full of warmth and character, the main cottage offers generous accommodation arranged over two floors. The ground floor provides a choice of inviting reception spaces, including a family room, comfortable snug and living room. A double-sided multi-fuel burner creates a wonderful focal point between the snug and living room, adding both character and atmosphere. At the heart of the cottage is the superb bespoke handmade Shaker-style kitchen and dining room. Designed for both everyday family life and entertaining, the space features a substantial central island, an impressive roof lantern and bi-folding doors opening directly onto the garden, allowing the interior and exterior spaces to flow effortlessly together. A separate utility room and W/C complete the ground floor. Upstairs are four well-proportioned bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefiting from its own en-suite. A beautifully appointed four-piece family bathroom features a freestanding roll-top bath and completes the first-floor accommodation. The cottage benefits from oil-fired central heating, with LPG serving the kitchen hob.

THE BARN - Detached from the main cottage, the beautifully converted barn provides an exceptional second residence with stylish accommodation arranged entirely on one level. A striking glazed entrance lobby creates an impressive first impression and opens into the spacious living room. Bi-folding doors connect the room with the grounds, while a double-sided multi-fuel burner provides a warming focal point and creates a visual connection with the adjoining kitchen and dining room. The barn's bespoke handmade Shaker-style kitchen continues the quality and attention to detail found throughout the property (Rangemaster cooker included), complemented by a practical separate utility room. There are two generous double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite, together with a luxurious four-piece bathroom featuring a freestanding roll-top bath. Heating is provided by an efficient LPG boiler. The barn offers tremendous flexibility and would be ideal for extended family, independent multi-generational living, visiting guests or a luxurious annexe, subject to any necessary consents.

GROUNDS - The property occupies a wonderful setting extending to just over two acres, creating a genuine sense of space and privacy. Three gated driveways provide extensive off-road parking, while the gardens feature generous lawns and a variety of patio and seating areas perfectly positioned for outdoor dining, entertaining and enjoying the surroundings. Beyond the formal gardens lies an impressive collection of lifestyle and smallholding facilities, including a stable block, livestock pens, greenhouse, vegetable plots, fruit orchard and two paddocks. A summer house with electricity provides another attractive and versatile space within the grounds.

QUALITY & CRAFTSMANSHIP - Considerable care has been taken in the renovation of both homes, with bespoke handmade kitchens complemented by new plumbing and electrics, radiators, USB sockets and hard-wired carbon monoxide, smoke and heat detectors. CCTV coverage to the entrances provides additional peace of mind.

LOCATION - Watnall is an attractive Nottinghamshire village offering an appealing combination of rural tranquillity and excellent connectivity, making it an ideal setting for those seeking countryside living without sacrificing everyday convenience. The village and surrounding area offer a good range of local amenities, with everyday shopping available nearby and larger supermarkets, shops, restaurants and services easily accessible in neighbouring towns and villages.
