Property description
A fine Victorian farmhouse standing in mature gardens and parklands surrounded by majestic trees and extending in all to 4.5 acres or thereabouts. The house is very original with elegant panelled doors and fine deep box sash windows. The accommodation is light and airy with windows predominantly in the south, west and east elevations. The house is approached by a sweeping, gravelled driveway and a separate tarmacadammed rear driveway. There is a garden terrace, an original ha-ha and two paddocks.
An additional 14.5 acres adjoining the property can be purchased if required and will be grassed down by the vendor in the autumn. Additional land up to30 acres can be made available to purchase if required.
The stone threshold and entrance vestibule with Gothic carvings and rafters lead through to the reception hall. There is a basement with a thrall. The drawing room and dining room have shuttered south facing windows. There is a play room, study and a farmhouse sized kitchen with 'Cats Paw' Oak unit. The kitchen bay window enjoys far reaching views of Bottesford Church and Belvoir Castle.
A rear lobby leads through to the utility room, rear hall and office. The main and back stairs lead to the first floor with five bedrooms, two bathrooms and the master bedroom with en suite. The fine main staircase with Mahogany scroll handrail, winders and gallery is a particular feature of the property.
A coach house conversion providing a self contained office suite currently let to a professional firm of land agents.
Alverton is a small settlement, linear in character with mainly older type property and conversions straggling the roadside. A quiet and peaceful spot but convenient for commuting to Nottingham, Newark and Grantham. Fast mainline trains capable of journey times from Grantham to London Kings Cross in just over one hour. There is a scenic view from the property of Kilvington Lakes, a landscaped Nature and Conservation area with paths, walks and abundant wildlife.
This handsome house is built with rendered elevations, a slated roof and there is a stone plaque inscribed 1876. The lofty ceilings are typical of the Victorian age but nevertheless the accommodation flows, the property is easily managed and the accommodation is by no means rambling. Certainly we consider it is an excellent environment for a family and children.
