Welcome to No.1 Lime Grove, Forest Town

No 1, Lime Grove 

On the fringe of Mansfield, in the former mining village of Forest Town, discover a home with spacious rooms, secret gardens and so much potential… 

On the cusp of Mansfield… 

Pulling off Clipstone Road West, take the tarmacked, private lane along before arriving at No. 1, Lime Grove, the first house on the left. 

Built in the early 2000s, No. 1, Lime Grove is preceded by a large, intricately designed block paved driveway where plenty of parking is available alongside a large double garage with electric roller door.  

Make your way in through the front door, whose large, glazed panels invite an abundance of light through into the airy, spacious entrance hall, where a central staircase lends pleasing symmetry.  

Freshen up in the cloakroom to the left; there is also an alcove beneath the staircase which could be ideal for storage. 

Versatile spaces 

Through the door to the right is a versatile room overlooking the front garden. Carpeted underfoot and dressed in neutral tones, with an electric wall-mounted fire, it could easily serve as an office.  

Next door on the right, a good-size bathroom offers refreshment, part-tiled to the walls and furnished with centrally filling bath, wash basin and WC alongside a separate shower cubicle. 

Decorated in soft latte tones, rest and relax in bedroom three, next door to the bathroom and overlooking the verdant rear garden. 

Returning to the laminate lined entrance hall, note the solid wood doors throughout the home, as the hallway opens up to the formal dining room to the rear. An ideal room for get togethers or Sunday dinner, patio doors open to provide instant access to the large and leafy garden beyond. Another versatile room, consider its potential as a reading room or gym. 

Light-filled living 

Opening up off the dining room is the living room, spacious and very bright, with gorgeous views out onto the garden through a large window. Warmth emanates from the coal effect gas fire, nestled within the iconic dentilled and embellished Adam surround. A room in which to relax and unwind, whatever the season. 

Gather with the family in the traditional, real oak dining kitchen. With a feature chair rail and smooth coving to the walls and ceiling, laminate flooring underfoot distinguishes the dining area from the kitchen beyond, where cream tiles extend. Fully integrated appliances include a gas hob, oven and dishwasher, whilst there is plumbing for a washer and dryer in the utility room beyond. 

Traditional splashback tiling is in pristine condition, alongside the oak cabinetry, which could also be hand painted to a colour of your preference. Above the utility room, loft space offers some useful storage.  

Sleep tight 

Returning to the entrance hall, make your way up the central staircase to reach the large, light, landing. A destination in itself, there is ample space for a desk to create an office or homework area, for those working from home.  

Turning left, make your way into bedroom two. A lovely, light bedroom, with a high, sloping ceiling and views out to the borrowed forest landscape in the distance, there is ample space for a double bed. Built-in storage with hanging space and shelving is available in the eaves.  

Finally, along the landing arrive at the main bedroom. Spacious and bright with a high ceiling, light flourishes through. Ample room is available for a king-size bed and wardrobes. 

Serving both bedrooms upstairs is a neat shower room, with large Velux window, traditional wash basin, WC and corner shower. 

Established gardens 

To the front, a neat lawn, elegantly edged, is planted with a number of mature shrubs, providing a buffer of green between No. 1 and the lane to the front. To the side, high hedging lines the boundary for added privacy. 

At the rear, a patio terrace leads to a large expanse of lawn, bordered by tall, mature hedging for a secluded feel. Spacious and serene, the playful splash of a water feature adds a melodious touch, with well-established borders brimming with variegated colour throughout the seasons.  

Watch the birds from the large summer house on raised decking to one corner, with a potting shed to the side. Make your way through a hidden arched door in the hedging to discover a secret garden, previously used as an allotment area for planting and also home to a greenhouse.  

Fully enclosed and secure, these gardens are safe for children – and perfect for pets too. 

On your doorstep 

Formerly a mining village, Forest Town is rich in local history, once providing homes to workers from Mansfield Colliery, which closed down in 1988. 

On your doorstep are a number of handy amenities including several shops, whilst there is a Co-op in Forest Town and a Post Office along the main road, Clipstone Road West.

Catch a bus from the top of the lane into Mansfield, a reliable service runs every ten minutes.
