About this property
Commanding a prime corner plot on one of Retford’s most desirable roads, this beautifully proportioned early Edwardian residence, dating back to 1910, offers a rare blend of timeless architecture and contemporary comfort.
With its generous layout and refined character, this home will undoubtedly appeal to professional couples and families seeking spacious, versatile accommodation in an enviable location. Just a short stroll from the heart of Retford, the property enjoys a prestigious setting with all the charm and stature of period design, perfectly balanced by the convenience of modern living.
Retford is one of Nottinghamshire’s best-kept secrets, a historic Georgian market town with roots stretching back to the Roman era. Its charming blend of heritage buildings, boutique shops, cafes, and eateries creates a welcoming and vibrant town centre just moments from Devonshire Road. Families are particularly drawn to the area for its outstanding educational opportunities, with highly regarded schools such as Tuxford Academy, Elizabethan Academy, and Carr Hill Primary all within easy reach.
For commuters, Retford is superbly connected. The mainline station offers direct services to London Kings Cross in just over 90 minutes, while excellent road links via the A1, A57, and M18 place the region’s major hubs within easy reach.
Inside, the home reveals a flexible and expansive layout brimming with potential. The ground floor offers three elegant reception rooms, perfect for formal entertaining, relaxed family time, or working from home. The kitchen, complete with a central breakfast bar, provides a practical and social hub for everyday living. To the rear, a vast conservatory opens onto the garden, a beautifully light-filled space that once housed a full-sized snooker table and is now ready to be reimagined as a playroom, creative studio, home business space, or simply a relaxed spot to enjoy the garden’s summer warmth. A ground floor shower room adds practicality, ideal for busy households or guests.
Upstairs, you’ll find three generously sized double bedrooms, each retaining a sense of charm and warmth, while the recently updated family bathroom showcases contemporary styling and high-end finishes.
Outside, the home continues to impress. An integral garage and off-street parking to both the front and rear provide ample space for multiple vehicles. A gated rear driveway includes an electric car charging point, future-proofing your lifestyle.
The rear garden is currently arranged as a productive outdoor haven with a large polytunnel, dedicated vegetable growing areas, and even a chicken coop, perfect for those with green fingers or an eye on sustainability. Alternatively, this outdoor space could easily be adapted for children’s play areas, entertaining zones, or a more traditional landscaped garden for modern family life.
This elegant and substantial period home offers a compelling lifestyle opportunity in one of Retford’s most sought-after addresses. With space to grow, work, relax, and entertain—both inside and out, it’s ideally suited to professional couples and growing families seeking a home with character, convenience, and charm in equal measure.
Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the style, scale, and setting of this exceptional Edwardian home
