Idyllic afternoons by the river and picture-perfect sunrises will become a reality for a Nottinghamshire homeowner who secures Trent Bank House, a newly listed five-bedroom home in North Muskham.

Brought to market exclusively by Gascoines, the expansive Grade II listed property dates to the 1800s and still boasts many of its original features, including sympathetically restored fireplaces throughout. Offering complete versatility of space, the approximately 4,244 sq ft home, which overlooks the River Trent also boasts an entirely self-contained annex with isolated hot water and electric. It’s ideal for multi-generational living or operating a home-business from as it has an independent entrance, kitchen and bathroom.

With so much to love, it’s easy to see why there have only been three owners in the last 100 years, including its current owner, Jennifer Spencer who has lived there with her husband for the last three decades.

She said: “One of the reasons we originally moved here was because the location was perfect for commuting to both the North of England and London for work, but we stayed for the lifestyle it offered. The community is really what draws you in, with plenty going on at the village hall, a lovely local pub just next door and incredible wildlife on the doorstep it’s hard to imagine wanting to live anywhere else.

“We’re ready to downsize now, but we can’t wait for the history of this home to continue with a new family who we’re sure will put their own touch on the place and be happy here just as long as we have been.”

In addition to the main house and annex in a large barn the ground floor of which has been converted into a garage and a workshop, there are well-established front and rear gardens, an external storeroom and fruit cage with watering systems. Inside, modern touches make the home perfect for a growing family with underfloor heating throughout and a bright mezzanine extension primed for hosting – with space for a 12ft Christmas tree.

Luke Saywell, partner at Gascoines said: “Opportunities to own a home as impressive as this don’t come around often. Not only is the home and its surroundings picturesque, but the versatility of space is unique. Whether it’s a home office, trade workshop, hobby room or simply just having enough space for the entire family, the large rooms can accommodate such a range of needs.

“We’d strongly recommend viewing as it’s difficult to capture the scope of potential with this home just from pictures and, if nothing else, you’ll be sold on the views alone.”

The home is on the market for £800,000 and full details can be found here. To arrange a viewing, please contact Gascoines at 01636 813245 or visit www.gascoines.co.
