£1m home on the grounds of Newstead Abbey Park boasts breathtaking countryside views

With the start of summer just a month and a half away, many of us will be looking forward to spending more time in our gardens.

But sadly not everyone is lucky enough to have somewhere to relax in the sun on their property, which is why public parks prove to be so popular in cities across the country.

For this very reason, it’s unsurprising that many urban dwellers are looking to swap the hustle and bustle of city life for a more sedate existence in the countryside.

Imagine being able to open the curtains each morning and seeing nothing but rich countryside.

This stunning four-bed home, situated in the grounds of Newstead Abbey Park, has just hit the market for a cool £1 million.
