In uncertain times you may want to hide away in the country, and in this house with its 6.5 acres you could do just that.
Yopa is selling the five-bedroom detached house in the Nottinghamshire village of Tuxford - around 26 miles from Nottingham city, 28 miles from Chesterfield and 42 miles from Derby city centre - for £650,000 and you certainly get a lot for your money.
Built around 1823, it has been fully renovated but still retains character features such as sash windows, some deep skirting boards, there’s even a beam or two thrown in, and of course there are those high ceilings that you’d hope for in a period property .
But it isn’t just a stylish interior and plenty of interior space that makes this house a show-stopper. It stands in around. 6.5 acres of paddocks and landscaped gardens, is set back from the main road and has electric gates and a driveway - a real retreat in the village.
And if you need an inspiring view - well look out from the gardens and paddocks and you have sight of Tuxford's working windmill .
Those with horses will love the fact that there are five post and rail paddocks, all with secure boundaries. The first paddock also has a small orchard with various fruit trees.
Behind the detached double garage are four 12ft x 12ft stables, one of which is a tack room with power and lighting, sink and WC. The tack room has access to a large storage room which is situated above the garage, which could be converted to an office etc, subject to planning permission.
There are some lovely lawn gardens too. A raised patio area with brick-built BBQ, large workshop, two further brick-built tool sheds… and behind the stables is a vegetable allotment with various soft fruit trees and a greenhouse.
With all that land there is also the potential to generate an income by renting out the horse livery or converting the barn into a holiday cottage subject to permissions.
