Step into a world of cottage character…

This charming detached property began its life as two cottages, which were originally built circa 1800. Thoughtfully transformed over the years, 'Briar Cottage' has been brought thoroughly up to date with modern touches but still showcases period characteristics with some special touches and intriguing surprises along the way.

A spacious floor plan with a distinct charm and a cosy atmosphere, the entrance hall leads past a handy ground floor cloakroom and opens into an especially generous lounge full of typical character with plenty of space for living room furniture and little nooks to fill however you want. A light-filled conservatory opens to a sunny patio and frames views of the large garden with a surprising stretch of lawn. Moving through to the kitchen diner, this has been recently beautifully updated with elegance and functionality in its design but is still in keeping with the building’s period character and includes bespoke farmhouse cabinetry plus a Smart-controlled Aga, perfect for those with the country at heart. There is allocated informal dining space here and direct access to a separate utility room. A rear hall leads straight out to the garden and through to the separate dining room that provides a dedicated space for formal dining and special occasions but could also be used as a study if preferred, as it is perfectly situated as a tranquil work-from-home retreat. The accommodation continues to unfold in this part of the house, and tucked out of the way is the versatile ground floor fourth bedroom, another flexible room enjoying the practical addition of its own en-suite shower room.

Upstairs, the delightful principal bedroom suite encompasses a generous space that includes the luxury of its own dressing room and an en-suite. There is a modern family bathroom, and along the landing there are two additional bedrooms, with bedroom three featuring a quirky mezzanine floor.

Outdoor bliss…

Nestled in a picturesque row, the cottage offers an idyllic country life that is quietly tucked away without being too far off the beaten track. Parking is provided for four vehicles alongside a double garage, which stands directly over the road. Gardens that are a pleasure to spend time in include your very own country garden sanctuary with vegetable patches, a summerhouse, and a greenhouse, and a private south-facing garden to the rear enjoys a sunny patio and an expanse of enclosed lawn. In all, the generous plot total approximately one-third of an acre.

Steeped in local Sherwood Forest history the landscape is filled with ancient woodlands and lush verdant countryside. And, if you ever tire of soaking up the scenery, there’s a wide range of pubs and places to eat in and around the village.

There are plenty of necessary facilities dotted around the village, including the doctor's surgery, dentist, chemists, hairdressers, and a leisure centre. A Sainsbury's Local offers additional shopping, and there is also a farm shop for a taste of country life. Village residents enjoy a rich sense of community, with the village hall, library, and church all offering various social activities and events.
