Description:

** situated in A stunning semi rural location, we have the privilege of offering to the market this substantial detached family barn conversion occupying A wonderful south facing plot extending to just over A third of an acre with delightful open views over an area of outstanding natural beauty **

A substantial brick and stone 4/5 bedroom detached family barn conversion beneath a pantile roof occupying a truly wonderful south facing plot extending to just over a third of an acre, affording delightful open countryside views over adjacent paddock land and beyond – an area of outstanding natural beauty.

The property was sympathetically restored and converted in 2004 by the previous owner retaining much of the character and charm associated with a building of this age – including 14ft vaulted beamed ceilings and flagstone floors.

The property offers a substantial layout of family living accommodation spanning two floors – including two mezzanine floor levels, providing in the region of 2,142 sq ft (199 m2). The ground floor accommodation comprises an entrance hallway, dining room, snug, kitchen and a conservatory with bi-fold doors leading out onto the south facing gardens. Returning to the hall, this leads to a master bedroom with fitted wardrobes, French doors to the rear, as well as an en suite. There are two further bedrooms on the ground floor each with stairs up to a mezzanine floor, and a family bathroom. The first floor landing leads to a fourth bedroom with an en suite, and a large triple aspect reception space/or 5th bedroom enjoying the best of the views, and a door provides access to a stone staircase down to the garden. There are timber double glazed windows and doors and oil fired central heating.

The property comes with the benefit of detailed planning consent approved for demolition of the stable block, construction of single and two storey side extensions and two storey attached annex. The planning permission was approved by Ashfield District Council on 16th October 2019, under reference number V/2019/0383, which is valid for 3 years. The proposed plans include reconfiguration of the existing ground floor layout to include a master bedroom extension with en suite, dressing room and walk-in wardrobe area. The existing en suite to the master bedroom will become the en suite to bedroom 3. The existing staircase and utility would be removed and knocked through to the kitchen to create one large open plan living kitchen with connecting doors to the snug and garden room. Further extensions at ground floor level include a large hallway accessed via double doors with orangery roof, which leads to a utility, cloaks, and WC. This leads to a two-storey annex which can also be accessed independently from the outside. The proposed annex layout comprises an entrance hall and a snug with bi-fold doors. Upstairs, there is a landing, bedroom and an en suite. Returning to the ground floor, from the dining room, the proposals show a repositioned staircase enclosed in a double height front extension with large glazing in a striking gabled design. The extensions plus the existing layout combined would provide circa 3,564 sq ft (331 m2).

The property occupies a large, landscaped plot extending to circa 0.37 of an acre in a most delightful south facing setting with amazing views. The property is accessed via remote controlled electric sliding entrance gate which leads onto an extensive block paved driveway providing off road parking for numerous vehicles with ample turning space and a detached double garage with remote controlled electric door. The driveway is flanked by post and rail fencing to the south boundary and, there is an established high hedgerow boundary offering good screening from Newbound Lane. The gardens are beautifully maintained to the front and side mainly laid to lawn with an Indian sandstone path and large patio immediately outside the garden room offering a lovely al fresco dining space. The front garden continues with further sandstone paths and a patio sheltered by established trees. To the rear of the property, there are two separate courtyard style gardens either side of the snug laid to sandstone paving with raised sleeper flowerbeds. There is a detached brick and stone stable block comprising four stables in need of renovation, adjacent to a hardstanding path and lawn.

Millers Croft is situated in a truly stunning, semi rural location halfway between Teversal and Pleasley and yet still being conveniently located within easy reach of Hardwick Hall, the Teversal Trails and Silverhill (one of the highest points in Nottinghamshire) which all offer some beautiful walks. There are an excellent range of amenities nearby including the highly regarded The Carnarvon pub/restaurant, excellent links to the M1 and Chesterfield train station which offers a well serviced route reaching London in under two hours. The delightful village of Teversal also comes stacked with a well established history including links to D.H Lawrence and the 5th Earl of Carnarvon, who was the financial backer in the excavation of Tutankhamen’s tomb which is celebrated with a feature mosaic on entry to the village itself.

Overall, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a unique and individual family home and viewing is highly recommended.
