A magnificent five bedroom Victorian home with excellent character and a detached three-bedroom annexe, within a short distance of the centre of Retford.
Description
This expansive Victorian townhouse has had just four owners since it was built in the 1870s and retains a wealth of period character, including high ceilings, decorative coving, deep skirting boards and original sash windows, plus a striking Victorian staircase and original wood floors. It is particularly handsome from the outside, with a pleasingly symmetrical façade featuring deep bay windows and a pedimented entrance. Internally it has been attractively modernised, with a neutral colour scheme that enhances the sense of light and space throughout. The house is also equipped with CCTV. Most recently a detached coach house has been converted to create a three-bedroom annexe, study and a garage. The property is conveniently situated within close proximity to Retford Town centre which offers a wide range of shops, services, facilities and schooling.
The substantial accommodation amounts to approximately 3875 sq ft and is arranged over four floors, including useful cellars. On the ground floor there are two large reception rooms, a family kitchen, snug, large conservatory and a utility room incorporating a cloakroom with WC. On the first floor good-size bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en suite bath/shower room, a family bathroom and a separate WC. There is a further fifth bedroom on the second floor which could make a great office space.
Within the detached annexe there is a kitchen, sitting room, three bedrooms and two bath/shower rooms. A separate entrance has a WC. and a spiral staircase leading up to a study.
The property is situated in a good-size plot with excellent space surrounding and a large driveway to the front that wraps around the sides of the house to the rear garden. This is mostly south facing and is laid to lawn and features mature trees and shrubs around the boundary. The gravel driveway leads up to the detached annexe to the rear and a number of raised planters ideal for vegetable planting.
