A former fire station in a rural part of Nottinghamshire is set for a transformation.
Plans have been revealed for the site surrounding Shortwood House, Waterloo Lane, Trowell.
Shortwood House is described as a "large detached property with a brick and corrugated extension, constructed as stabled, to the back.
The main building at the site is described as having been "originally constructed as a fire station".
The former fire station is now proposed to be converted into a single home.
"It stored a fire appliance that served the local farming community," a planning statement read.
"It is understood that it was constructed in the 1930s.
"More recently it has been used for vehicle storage and the storage of domestic paraphernalia."
The conversion is expected to include two bedrooms, as well as kitchen and dining facilities.
While the stable at the back is earmarked for demolition and is proposed to be rebuilt.
The plans add: "In addition to the conversion of the building, it is proposed to demolish the existing stable to the east and rebuild on the same footprint to provide a reasonable level of accommodation.
"The basic footprint and shape of the building is retained.
"Outwardly there will be very little difference once the building is converted.
"The property as an independent dwelling will have no impact on the openness of the green belt or adversely impact on any of the purposes for including land within the green belt.
"The extension to the rear is no greater in area than the stable building which will be demolished.
"The extension will be built on virtually the same footprint."
According to the plans, the building was used for more than 90 years as a fire station and for the storage of valuable cars.
The existing doors of the old fire station are to be retained.
Stone Planning Services submitted the plans to Broxtowe Borough Council on behalf of Mr J Doddy.
Councillor Lydia Ball, who represents Awsworth, Cossall and Trowell for the Conservatives on the borough council, said: "If it's the old fire station and they are going to renovate it and make it habitable, and there is a little bit of history there, that would be quite interesting."
Nottinghamshire Live has attempted to contact the team behind the project for more information.
