A rare contemporary country house set in about 4.68 acres, Orchard Cottage blends generous modern living with practical leisure facilities. The main house offers eight bedrooms, six bathrooms and multiple reception spaces across approximately 7,800 sq ft, plus a self-contained annex ideal for extended family or staff. High ceilings, glass atria and bespoke Harvey Jones and Miele kitchen fittings give a finished, light-filled character throughout.
The grounds include formal garden areas, pony paddocks, a full-size tennis court (with two market-out pickle courts), long private gated drive and a triple garage. Recent additions such as solar panels and an outdoor kitchen reduce running costs and expand usable outdoor living space. The property sits in an attractive rural setting with far-reaching views and low local crime, yet remains within reasonable distance of Nottingham and local schools rated Good.
Practical considerations are straightforward and important to note. Council Tax is at Band H and therefore very expensive. The sale excludes a separately sold parcel of land where planning permission exists for two executive homes — those permissions do not transfer with this sale. The house is a substantial older building with modern upgrades and solid brick walls with internal insulation; prospective buyers should verify maintenance needs and service histories for heating, glazing and electrical systems.
Orchard Cottage will suit buyers seeking a significant country residence with multi-generational or leisure use: think equestrian, formal entertaining and flexible accommodation. It offers immediate occupancy and further scope to personalise the extensive living spaces and grounds.
