The room comfortably accommodates a generous dining table and is finished in soft, neutral tones with a decorative dado rail and contemporary ceiling light.

With two doorways providing direct access to both the hallway and the kitchen, the space offers excellent flow and practicality, perfectly suited to modern living while retaining the option to close the room off for more formal occasions.

Kitchen / Diner
A spacious and well-appointed kitchen/diner forming the heart of the home, ideal for modern family living and entertaining. The kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of wall and base units, including glass display cabinets and an integrated wine rack, complemented by matching work surfaces and tiled surrounds. A one and a half bowl single drainer sink unit is set beneath a rear-facing window overlooking the garden, with an additional side window providing further natural light.

High-quality integrated appliances include a Siemens double electric oven, Siemens five-ring gas hob, integrated Miele dishwasher, and integrated fridge and freezer. Under-unit lighting and ceiling downlighters enhance both practicality and ambience.

The generous layout allows space for a breakfast bar and dining area, while tiled flooring and a radiator ensure comfort and durability. A door leads directly through to the utility room, and the kitchen enjoys an open connection to the rest of the ground floor, reinforcing its role as a central family hub.

Utility Room
A practical and well-arranged utility room providing excellent additional storage and workspace. Fitted with further matching units and work surfaces incorporating a sink, the room offers plumbing and space for laundry appliances, making it ideal for everyday family use.

Finished with tiled flooring and benefiting from natural light, the utility room acts as an excellent link between the house and garden, with doors providing access to the rear garden, the kitchen, and the integral garage — ideal for busy households, pets, and outdoor living.

Snug / Playroom
A versatile and welcoming snug/playroom, ideal as a children’s playroom, second sitting room, or home office. Bright and comfortably proportioned, the room features wood-effect flooring and a front-facing window providing good natural light, making it a practical everyday living space.

A particularly notable feature is the separate staircase rising directly from this room to the main bedroom suite, creating an element of privacy and flexibility that would suit multi-generational living, older children, or those seeking a more secluded principal bedroom arrangement.

Ground Floor WC
A neatly presented and conveniently positioned ground floor cloakroom, fitted with a modern low-level WC and wall-mounted wash hand basin. The room is finished with tiled splashbacks, a fitted vanity unit providing useful storage, and a heated chrome towel radiator.

Bedroom Three
A generous and highly versatile double bedroom offering a unique and flexible layout. This room benefits from its own independent access from the main first-floor landing, as well as a connecting door through to the main bedroom suite, making it adaptable to a wide range of uses.

It would work perfectly as a private dressing room or sitting room to the principal suite, a nursery or child’s bedroom keeping little ones close, or simply as an independent double bedroom in its own right. The proportions comfortably allow for a bed, wardrobes and additional furniture, and the room is finished in soft neutral tones with a window providing natural light.

This adaptable arrangement adds a level of flexibility rarely found, ideal for families at different stages or multi-generational living.

Bedroom Four
A spacious and light double bedroom, currently arranged as one generous room but originally two separate bedrooms which have been knocked through by the current owners to create an impressive larger space. The room still retains two separate entrances, meaning it could be easily reconfigured back into two individual bedrooms if required, offering excellent future flexibility for growing families or those needing additional rooms.

The space is well-proportioned and bright, with two windows allowing plenty of natural light, and ample room for a double bed along with wardrobes and additional furniture. Finished in soft neutral tones, it presents as a comfortable and versatile bedroom that could also lend itself to use as a guest suite, teenage bedroom, or combined bedroom and sitting area.

Bedroom Five
A well-proportioned and comfortable bedroom, ideal as a guest room, child’s bedroom or home office. The room enjoys a pleasant outlook via a double glazed window, allowing in plenty of natural light, and offers ample space for a bed along with freestanding furniture.

Finished in neutral tones, this is a versatile and easily adaptable room, well suited to a range of uses depending on individual needs.

Family Bathroom
A stylish and well-appointed family bathroom fitted with a contemporary white suite. The room features a separate curved glass shower enclosure, a freestanding oval spa air-flow bath creating a real focal point, a wash hand basin set into fitted vanity cabinetry, and a low-level WC. The bathroom further benefits from underfloor heating, enhancing comfort and adding to the overall sense of luxury.

The property enjoys a generous and well-established rear garden, laid predominantly to lawn and framed by mature trees, hedging and planted borders, providing a high degree of privacy.

A paved pathway leads through the garden to a substantial timber summerhouse / covered seating area, creating an excellent space for outdoor entertaining, relaxing or socialising in all seasons. The garden also features a timber shed, established shrubs and seating areas, making it both attractive and practical.

Immediately to the rear of the house is a patio area, ideal for alfresco dining and positioned to enjoy views across the garden.

Overall, the garden offers an excellent balance of lawn, planting and usable entertaining space — well suited to families, pets and keen gardeners alike.

Front, Parking & Garage
The property is approached via attractive brick pillars opening onto a large resin-bound driveway, providing off-road parking for multiple vehicles and creating an impressive arrival.

The house features an integral double garage with electric up-and-over door, offering excellent secure parking and generous storage space, and is directly accessible from the utility room.

The frontage is attractively screened with established hedging and planting, giving a good degree of privacy, while the appealing brick façade and gabled rooflines create strong kerb appeal.

Location
One of the property’s most outstanding features is its exceptional and highly convenient position within Southwell.

The house is situated just a two-minute walk from Southwell town centre, placing a wide range of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities quite literally on the doorstep. Families are equally well served, with the well-regarded local infant and junior school approximately a one-to-two minute walk away, allowing children to walk safely to school without the need to cross busy roads.

The area also offers excellent recreational opportunities, including the Southwell Trail for walking and cycling, Norwood Golf Club, and attractive surrounding countryside, all easily accessible. The Southwell Medical Centre is close by, further enhancing the practicality of the location.

This is a rare opportunity to enjoy a central, walk-to-everything lifestyle while still benefitting from a substantial detached home, generous plot and a high degree of privacy.
