It may seem as though impressive houses are two a penny in Nottinghamshire but few come with amenities quite like this one.

Originally constructed in 1925, Elmcroft stands within three-quarters of an acre of beautifully landscaped gardens (including a very pretty pond) which are rarely found so close to a city centre.

The property is located in Mapperley Park just a mile outside of the city. Mapperley Park is a conservation area and a highly sought-after location in Nottingham.

It is surrounded by tree-lined avenues and a mixture of modern and period properties.

Alongside the stunning main house, this property has a detached annexe, a range of outbuildings, and garages, making it ideal for multi-generational living.

Perhaps this home's greatest hidden feature is a 29ft indoor heated swimming pool, that lies beneath a temporary floor that creates the garden room and lounge.

According to Fine and Country: "The pool could easily be reinstated with some minor work and complimented by the shower facilities, changing booths and sauna already in place."

Upstairs a substantial landing provides access to five spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a separate WC. Another standout feature is a traditional games room with space for a full-size snooker table.
