Sandy Lane, Edwinstowe, NG21 9HZ

 This picture-perfect three-bedroom detached home is full of character and charm, offering an exceptional blend of period features and modern comforts. Standing proudly on the edge of Edwinstowe, it enjoys far-reaching countryside views while being just a short distance from village shops, amenities, and the natural beauty of Sherwood Forest and Sherwood Pines.

From the moment you step into the reception hallway, the property makes a striking impression. The hall features a beautiful original herringbone Welsh quarry tiled floor with matching rising skirting, a large fitted cloakroom cupboard, and a south-facing entrance door with side windows fitted with integral blind double glazing, ensuring both light and efficiency. Stairs with a newly fitted carpet rise to the first floor, and all windows retain their period-style leaded lights.

The lounge is a wonderfully bright triple-aspect reception, with a large bay window and French doors opening onto an open veranda and the garden. A striking inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove forms the focal point, framed by an original period wooden surround. The room is finished with fitted carpet and leaded light windows, making it a cosy yet elegant living space.

The dining room, with its triple-aspect leaded light windows and wooden flooring, is perfect for entertaining or family meals, offering views over the gardens and countryside.

At the heart of the home lies the kitchen, thoughtfully fitted with light oak cabinetry and a full complement of integrated appliances, including fridge, freezer, and dishwasher. A Rangemaster five-burner gas hob with double electric oven and grill makes it ideal for cooking, while the Italian marble flooring and double Belfast sink add style and practicality. Dual-aspect windows with integral blinds ensure plenty of natural light.

The kitchen leads to the utility room, where the theme continues with matching oak units, countertop, and an additional single Belfast sink. A fitted washing machine, large corner cabinet, and Italian marble flooring mirror the high standard of finish. This area also houses the central heating boiler with Google/Nest thermostatic control and gives access to the downstairs WC, pantry, and garden.

Upstairs, the landing opens to a generous study area with shelving, light oak flooring, numerous power sockets, USB charging points, and Wi-Fi router hub for the whole house. Large windows, including a double-glazed stained-glass feature, offer inspiring countryside views.

The master bedroom is a spacious triple-aspect double, with south, north, and west-facing leaded windows and parquet flooring. The second bedroom is also a large double, with dual-aspect windows and parquet flooring, while the third is a bright single room with a south-facing window and parquet flooring. Bedroom three also provides access to a large, fully boarded loft, insulated with solid PIR panels and fitted with LED lighting and power. A concealed loft ladder makes access easy and convenient.

The family bathroom is particularly impressive – very spacious and beautifully appointed with Amtico-style flooring, a freestanding claw-foot roll-top bath with mixer taps and shower attachment, a separate double shower cubicle, wash basin, WC, and chrome heated towel rail. Integrated blinds within the frosted double-glazed windows complete the space.

Outside, the property continues to delight with a large, private wrap-around garden, securely enclosed with two lockable gates. The sweeping clay block-paved driveway offers space for three to four cars and is complemented by a Wi-Fi linked video gate bell with app-based conversation capability.

The gardens are well managed and thoughtfully landscaped, with large lawned areas, pea gravel pathways, and colourful planting beds – perfect for outdoor dining and entertaining. Fruit trees, including apple, pear, and plum, provide a charming and practical touch, alongside a bespoke wooden greenhouse, exterior power and water points, and an open veranda for summer relaxation.

Two versatile garden rooms add to the appeal – one in a log cabin style, previously used as a gym and office, and another recently added with insulation, vapour barrier, and power, ready to be fitted out by the new owners as a studio, office, or summer house. A large garden shed has been renovated with a modern composite tile roof, complete with lighting and power. A bespoke log store and two compost heaps allow for sustainable garden management, producing around a cubic metre of compost a year.

This home has been carefully maintained, with recent works including full resin render to the exterior (2023), wood burner chimney liner replaced (2023), and a new electricity consumer board fitted with an 80A fuse ready EV charging. Central heating has been serviced in 2025, and a full electrical condition report has been completed for the house and outbuildings.

With its perfect mix of character features – from original latch doors and leaded light windows to parquet floors and quarry tiling – and modern updates designed for convenience and efficiency, this is a property that truly offers the best of both worlds.

Set against the backdrop of the Nottinghamshire countryside yet within easy reach of the M1, A1, and A614, this is a home to cherish – one that any buyer would be proud to call their own.
