Description

Built in 1865 by Henry Alexander Pelham-Clinton, the 6th Duke of Newcastle, Green Mile House is a truly remarkable residence steeped in heritage and grandeur. Set within 5 acres of exquisite formal gardens, this prestigious property seamlessly blends timeless period charm with outstanding potential.

The main house features nine double bedrooms, four bathrooms, and two grand reception rooms alongside a formal dining room, all showcasing elegant period details and craftsmanship. Traditional highlights such as a butler's pantry and a cellar further reflect the rich history of the estate.

Currently undergoing a sensitive refurbishment, recent improvements include the addition of a new porch and updates to the fascias, drainpipes, and chimneys-carefully preserving the home's striking character while enhancing its appeal.

The manicured gardens are a true centrepiece-perfect for entertaining or simply enjoying the tranquillity of the countryside. Adding further value, a collection of outbuildings with planning permission for 8 holiday cottages presents an exciting development opportunity, whether for income generation or creating guest accommodation.

Located just one hour from the East Coast and 1 hour 15 minutes by train to London King's Cross, Green Mile House offers both convenience and seclusion. The picturesque village of Babworth provides a peaceful setting, with local amenities and excellent transport links nearby.

Viewings are strictly by appointment only. Please contact the SOLM Property office to arrange a private tour and explore the immense potential of this outstanding estate.

This is more than just a home-it's a lifestyle. An exceptional opportunity to own a significant piece of Nottinghamshire history.
