Set on approximately a third of an acre in a private and exclusive cul-de-sac, this substantial four-bedroom detached family home offers flexible and versatile accommodation, making it ideal for a growing family, commuters, or those working from home. Conveniently located with excellent access to the A1, the property features a heated swimming pool housed in a wooden lodge and landscaped gardens with a serene woodland backdrop.
The ground floor welcomes you with an entrance porch that opens into a vast, open-plan lounge. This space, complete with a brick chimney breast, multi-fuel burner, and a bay window to the front, offers exceptional flexibility. It can function as one impressive room or be zoned into separate living areas to suit your needs. The high-specification kitchen boasts an induction hob, integrated fridge/freezer, waste disposal unit, pull-out corner carousel, pull out champagne bar which rucks away when not required, and other built-in appliances, seamlessly combining style and practicality. Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining room provides a tranquil setting with views over the front garden. A dedicated office creates a quiet retreat for remote work, while the conservatory connects directly to the garden, offering the perfect space for relaxation or entertaining.
Upstairs, the first floor features four generously sized bedrooms, two of which currently accommodate super king-sized beds. Two of the bedrooms include private en-suite bathrooms, while the substantial family bathroom showcases a freestanding bath, high-flush WC, wood-paneled walls, and large windows that bathe the space in natural light, creating a boutique hotel feel.
The property’s grounds are equally impressive, with mature gardens, a woodland backdrop, and expansive patio areas that invite outdoor living. The wooden pool house, containing an indoor heated swimming pool, provides year-round enjoyment. Additional features include stables and a tack room, which offer excellent storage or the potential for conversion into a man cave or other uses, subject to planning permission.
Located in the picturesque canal-side village of Ranby, the property enjoys a semi-rural setting with convenient access to a well-regarded primary school, a prep school with nursery, and a popular waterside pub/restaurant. Just four miles away, the Georgian market town of Retford offers a direct rail link to London in just 1 hour and 25 minutes, along with connections to other major cities. The A1 is less than five miles away, and for international travel, both Humberside and East Midlands airports are accessible within an hour by car.
