A rare opportunity to purchase an impressive example of a Queen Anne Grade II Listed village residence of generous proportions which with its Coach House provides approximately 8000 sq ft of accommodation.

This handsome three storey home offers a sprawling level of internal accommodation with considerable inherent character with high deep corniced ceilings, deep skirtings, attractive fireplaces, exposed beams and internal brickwork which combined creates a truly wonderful and interesting individual home.

The property occupies a central village location on what is a generous plot lying in the region of 1.25 acres, accessed off a sweeping electric gated driveway onto a substantial frontage which overlooks it well maintained level lawns to the front with enclosed well stocked garden at the rear.

The property offers a wealth of history understood to have originally been constructed in the 16th century, acquired by John Hacker in 1591 whose grandson Col Francis Hacker was understood to have been hanged in 1661 for his part in the execution of James 1. The Old Hall at that time was in dis-repair but was rebuilt in the late 1600s and then was occupied by the Hacker family for some 200 years.

The current owner has occupied the property since the 1980s and more recently has undertaken a sympathetic programme of upgrading, carrying out a considerable level of maintenance and refurbishment works to both the fabric, services and fixtures and fittings. The property has not been occupied since the refurbishment was carried out in 2021.

The accommodation is particularly versatile in its layout to the ground floor offering up to 5 main receptions, 8 bedrooms and 7 bath/ shower rooms. In addition a conversion of the cellar has created a sauna area and indoor pool with every room offering its own individuality.

As well as the main accommodation on offer there is also an additional Coach House which provides ancillary accommodation to the main home, perfect as annexe style facilities for extended families or those with dependent relatives, or simply an excellent guest or office suite.

The former Coach House comprises initial breakfast kitchen with shower room off, attractive lounge with glazed floor exposing the original brickwork and attractive threshing barn glazed opening out onto the front garden. To the first floor there are two bedrooms and further bathroom.

The property occupies a delightful plot right at the heart of this highly regarded and well served village, accessed off a sweeping electric gated driveway providing a considerable level of off road parking with well maintained lawns and established borders well stocked with mature trees and shrubs which provides a wonderful outdoor space ideal for entertaining with the well appointed breakfast kitchen providing access out onto a substantial paved terrace which links back also into the games room providing an excellent outdoor entertaining space.

Overall the only way to truly appreciate this stunning individual home is by internal inspection.

East Bridgford is a much sought after village with facilities including a well-regarded primary school, local shops, doctors surgery, public house and village hall with further amenities available in the nearby market town of Bingham.
