Southwolds, a fine modern residence, provides exceptionally spacious ground floor open plan living space, a self-contained studio/games room, five principal bedrooms, two en-suite and grounds extending to 0.74 acre adjacent to the Rufford Country Park. The property stands in beautiful surroundings and a residential area with substantial high value properties in the immediate vicinity. May Lodge Drive is centrally situated for commuting to Newark, Mansfield, Nottingham and wider areas of the East Midlands with easy access to the M1 and A1 trunk roads.

May Lodge Drive and Rufford Park is set amidst some of Nottinghamshire's most lovely countryside forming part of the original Dukeries Estate. May Lodge Drive is a private road and the property stands well back with a field gate entrance and a long driveway. The idyllic location of this property is usually 20 minutes drive to Newark and the main line Northgate railway station with East Coast trains capable of journey times to London King's Cross in just over 75 minutes. May Lodge Drive is situated off the A614 trunk road close to the Edwinstowe junction and Center Parcs.
The original house was constructed circa 1962 with cavity brick elevations under a pitched tiled roof. An extension to the property to include ground floor, first floor and second floor accommodation was constructed approximately 20 years ago with cavity bricks under pitched roof sections incorporating a hipped design with plain tiles and Dormer windows. The hipped roof design of the original house incorporates bonnet tiles. There are overhanging eaves and PVC rainwater goods. The windows are white uPVC double glazed in the original part of the house and brown stained effect uPVC windows in the new extension triple glazed.
