A pretty farmhouse boasting traditional beams, a lovely garden, and a Hogwarts-style staircase has hit the market near Nottingham.

And it’s safe to say we’re in love. Here at Nottingham World, we love an olde worlde property that’s full of charm and this place has it in spades.

The four-bedroom barn conversion was originally part of a working farm and has retained much of its character.

It was converted into a spacious family home but kept many original features including beams, exposed brickwork, and inglenook fireplaces.

Another of this property’s beloved features is a winding wooden staircase remnant of those at Hogwarts in Harry Potter (sadly this one doesn’t move!)

Chestnut Barn has four good-sized double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes. The master bedroom also has an en-suite shower room.

Gorgeous French doors open up onto the garden which has a sunny paved terrace that’s perfect for outdoor dining.

The barn conversion provides glorious views over the Nottinghamshire countryside.

It also features a large gravel driveway with space for several cars.

With some skilful styling and some modernising in areas like the bathroom, we think this could become a stand-out property in Nottinghamshire.

It is full of character and charm and has the chocolate-box look about it that so many of us dream of.
