Guide Price £2,100,000 5 bedroom detached house for sale The Oaks, Newstead Abbey Park, Ravenshead, Nottingham, NG15 8GD

Tenure: Freehold

The Oaks
The Oaks is a magnificent modern residence constructed to the present owners exacting personal specification in 1991, reflecting the design characteristics of renowned Victorian architect Sir Edwin Lutyens.

The scale and calibre of this unique house can only be fully appreciated by a well considered internal inspection. The Oaks is something rather special.

The picturesque woodland garden setting provides the perfect backdrop for the house and an impressive long approach drive, through a gated entrance, culminates in a turning circle and vehicular parking court in front of the main house, at which point the privacy and seclusion of the setting are only too apparent.

The sale area totals some 3.50 acres/1.42 hectares or thereabouts, and in addition to the immediately surrounding formal grounds and protective woodland belts, an additional significant area of mature green belt woodland may be available by separate negotiation.
