College Street, East Bridgford, Nottingham NG13

A charming Grade II listed period home nestling in the heart of this highly sought after village. Boasting five bedrooms and a wonderful garden.

Description
11 College Street is an elegant Grade II Listed three-storey period village house, discreetly positioned in the heart of the sought-after village of East Bridgford, adjoining Butts Field.

The house enjoys a wonderfully private and quintessentially English garden setting, combining seclusion with a central village location.

Responsibly maintained and sensitively improved by the current owner, the property offers a generous and versatile family home, rich in original architectural character and period detail throughout.

The ground floor is arranged around a welcoming entrance hall, which immediately illustrates the heritage of the house, with exposed ceiling timbers, quarry tiled flooring and a charming open brick fireplace. French doors open into the garden room/orangery, creating an easy transition between house and garden.

A handsome side staircase hall rises from this level and provides access to cellarage and useful storage.

The impressive garden room/orangery enjoys views across a sheltered courtyard garden and opens onto a stone terrace. A mono-pitched glazed roof and exposed period brickwork ensure excellent natural light.

There are two elegant principal reception rooms. The sitting room is a refined and well-proportioned space with a marble period fireplace fitted with a wood-burning stove, exposed beam, recessed shelving and sash window to College Street.

The formal dining room, equally characterful, also features a fluted marble fireplace with wood burner, exposed beam and sash window, with double doors leading back to the orangery-ideal for entertaining.

The handcrafted country kitchen is fitted with a bespoke Shortland Crafts pippy oak installation, centred around a traditional two-oven gas-fired Aga. Complementary fittings include granite work surfaces, a Smeg five-ring gas hob with Bosch double oven, stainless steel sink and period sash windows.

A side door opens to the courtyard. Adjoining is a well-equipped utility/laundry room with limestone flooring, generous storage and a separate cloakroom.

The first floor is approached via an elegant two-flight period staircase with an arched window overlooking the rear gardens.

The principal bedroom suite is a particular highlight, featuring a period fireplace, exposed beam, bespoke fitted wardrobes and a high-quality en suite bathroom/wet room with freestanding bath, rain shower and underfloor heating.

There are two further first-floor bedrooms, including a generous double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and dual aspect, and a large central study, ideal for home working or occasional bedroom use.

A beautifully appointed family bathroom completes this floor.

The second floor provides three further bedrooms, one with an en suite shower room, all served by period sash windows and benefitting from built-in storage.

Outside, the property is approached via a traditional steel gate from College Street, opening onto a gravelled entrance courtyard providing parking. Mature hedging, yew trees and an established wisteria enhance the classical double fronted façade with its stone dressed portico.

A side gate leads to a formal courtyard garden, arranged with box hedging, gravel and York stone paving, and historically forming part of a covered driveway. Beyond lies a traditional brick potting shed, offering excellent potential as a home office or garden room, subject to the necessary consents.

The main gardens are beautifully structured, with box hedge parterres, flagged terraces, water feature and orchard-style lawn areas, providing a series of secluded seating spaces with a high degree of privacy. Timber stabling and a former open bay, now used as a garden gym, offer further versatility.
