5 bed detached house for sale

Riverbank House, Norton Lane, Cuckney NG20

We have great pleasure in bringing to the market this substantial detached residence with five bedrooms and four reception rooms in a truly enviable setting bordering to the river Poulter with wonderful south west facing rear views.

A truly rare opportunity to acquire a substantial, five bedroom detached family house (2,680 sq ft), occupying a substantial plot extending to circa 0.77 of an acre bordering to the river Poulter with wonderful south west facing rear views.

Riverbank House was built in 1957 originally as a four bedroom house with only one previous owner who commissioned a two storey side extension which added an additional reception room, a master bedroom with balcony and a large en suite bathroom.

The living accommodation extends to approximately 2,680 sq ft with oil fired central heating and UPVC double glazing. The ground floor comprises an entrance hall, downstairs WC, open plan snug and study, dining room, large lounge with stunning Derbyshire stone fireplace and log burner, sun room, breakfast kitchen and a utility. The first floor landing leads to a master bedroom with fitted wardrobes, French doors open out onto a balcony affording wonderful views, and there is a large en suite bathroom comprising a modern five piece suite. There are four further bedrooms (three doubles) and a family bathroom. There are wonderful views from every window upstairs to the front, side and rear overlooking the gardens, the river Poulter and adjacent countryside beyond.

Gardens & Grounds

Riverbank House stands in a truly enviable setting in an attractive village location, occupying a substantial plot extending to circa 0.77 of an acre set back from Norton Lane with immaculately maintained, south facing gardens affording wonderful river and countryside views. The property is well screened from the road set back behind an established hedgerow boundary frontage with a double, five bar farm gate entrance opening onto a resin driveway which leads to a detached double garage with an adjoining garden store both equipped with power and light. There is a useful, paved and gravel area to the right hand side of the garden store offering a useful storage area or additional parking space. Returning to the driveway, sandstone steps lead up to an open fronted canopy storm porch with side entrance door providing access into the house via the utility. Beyond here, there is an extensive, south facing, decked and sandstone terrace which extends across the full width of the property featuring a large, central seating area beneath a pergola where you enjoy the best views of the gardens, river and countryside beyond. Steps from the terrace lead to extensive gardens mainly laid to lawn with a variety of mature plants, shrubs and trees extending down to the river. The gardens continue to the side of the house with further substantial lawns, a variety of mature trees and fruit trees offering a lovely sheltered setting, with the added benefit of vehicular access via a five bar farm gate entrance directly off Norton Lane. From here, the gardens continue to the front of the property with further lawns and a rockery area with plants and shrubs. There is a garden shed, a greenhouse, outside tap and external lighting.
