Lot 1

LAMB CLOSE HOUSE
Located off the public highway, with two drives leading to the parking and turning area at the front of the property. The property is afforded a great degree of privacy while still remaining in close proximity to the M1 and the city of Nottingham.

The house is constructed from stone and red brick, with parts of the old farmhouse incorporated into the rear of the property, all under a slate roof. The house has been maintained to a high standard, with regular investment undertaken throughout the vendor’s custodianship. The property could continue to be used as a private residence, or alternatively planning permission could be sought for a range of alternative uses. Lamb Close extends to 16,889 sq ft of accommodation set across two floor.

Ground Floor
The entrance hall leads into a set of well-proportioned reception rooms, including a formal drawing room and dining room. At the rear of the dining room is a substantial, traditional conservatory, offering an ideal space for entertaining and enjoying seasonal blooms. Also accessible from the entrance hall, along the front elevation of the house, is a morning room and estate office. To the north is an impressive billiards room with an adjoining sitting area, fitted organ and a separate WC, providing an excellent space for informal entertainment.
Situated behind the main hall, and also accessible from the dining room, is a generously sized kitchen, which would benefit from modernisation. Opposite the kitchen is a large double larder with a traditional walk-in fridge. Beyond the kitchen lies a former staff kitchen, converted in the 1990s into a bright summer sunroom which opens onto a courtyard.


A hall leads past the kitchen and summer room to the former staff-wing of the property, with a series of storage rooms, which provide excellent scope for refurbishment into additional reception or entertainment rooms.

First Floor
The principal accommodation includes 9 generously sized bedrooms overlooking the front elevation, complemented by 3 bathrooms. The first floor is serviced by the central grand staircase, two secondary staircases and a lift. The bedrooms benefit from extensive views out across rural Nottinghamshire.

There is a raised floor in one of the landings so as to accommodate the organ that is situated in the room below. The former staff-wing includes 6 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, linen room and a luggage room. Positioned to the east, the nursery wing comprises 2 interconnected nursery bedrooms and a dedicated nursery day room.

FORMAL GARDENS
To the south of Lamb Close House are the attractive formal and kitchen gardens, characterised by their meticulously maintained yew hedges. There is an array of vibrant plants and shrubs throughout the gardens alongside a range of fruit trees and vegetables. A lawned area wraps around the front of the house with a ha-ha separating the land from the parkland beyond. A tennis court complex sits to the south of the gardens with two fenced astro courts, two former grass courts and an attractive pavilion with amenities.

There are a further 6 residential properties included within Lot 1 and 159 acres of parkland wrapping round the property.
