We have pleasure in offering to the market this delightful, detached, period cottage set within the highly regarded village of Car Colston, being one of Nottinghamshire's most sought after villages with its attractive central common green overlooked by the village cricket club and the Royal Oak public house a short walk away.

The property itself offers a deceptive level of accommodation having been sympathetically extended and renovated to provide both traditional and modern elements as well as a versatile layout large enough to accommodate families. It would however also appeal to a wider audience, whether it be from professional couples or even those downsizing from larger dwellings. The cottage also benefits from further planning approval to extend the kitchen and linking it to the main sitting room, demonstrating additional potential as a long term home.

Internally the property is tastefully presented throughout with many rooms offering exposed beams, attractive fireplaces with the heart of the home likely to become the open plan dining kitchen which benefits from aspects to three elevations and is beautifully appointed with a range of heritage style units, integrated appliances and central island with granite preparation surfaces. Two further receptions provide versatile living, the attractive sitting room having part vaulted ceiling, feature fireplace and doors leading out into the rear garden. In addition there is a useful cloak room/utility and side entrance porch and attractive central hallway.

To the first floor there are three bedrooms and a spacious bathroom, again well appointed with a modern but traditional style suite.

As well as the internal accommodation the property occupies a delightful location with driveway to the side and a walled, south facing garden at the rear which affords an attractive aspect across to the pretty church, providing a wonderful back drop.

Located within the garden is a professional conversion of part of the original brick and pantiled outbuildings, providing a fantastic, versatile reception space perfect as a home office or gym, while retaining the garaging to the front.

Overall this is a fascinating, individual and unique home with viewing coming highly recommended to appreciate both the location and accommodation on offer.
