What the owners love…

“Even after 17 years, there’s still a real ‘pinch me’ moment every time we arrive home. Driving up the driveway and seeing the house set within its grounds, surrounded by open countryside, is something that has never lost its magic.”

“We also love the ever-changing views — the neighbouring conservation farmland brings something different each season. From fields of sweetcorn to wildflowers, and even grazing sheep, there’s always a new outlook to enjoy. It feels like the landscape is constantly telling a different story from every window.”

“Alongside the ever-changing landscape, the sunsets here have been one of our favourite things. Each evening brings a completely different sky — from glowing oranges to dramatic pinks — creating a view that feels special all year round.”

“We’ve loved how convenient the location is as well — Fiskerton train station is just a 10-minute walk away, making it so easy to get into Nottingham in around 20 minutes or Newark in just 10. It’s the perfect balance of countryside living without feeling cut off.”

“This might sound like a small thing, but I always dreamed of having a home you could walk all the way around — and with Elvina Cottage, I finally got it. It gives such a sense of space, privacy and freedom that’s hard to put into words.”
