Speckled Wood, Eakring, NG22 0DA

Speckled Wood
A detached house of exceptional calibre, set in extensive private gardens close to the heart of the Conservation village of Eakring.

Built in August 2017, Speckled Wood was designed to reflect the elegance of the Edwardian period while incorporating a high level of modern specification. The attention to detail is evident throughout, particularly in the beautifully appointed open-plan kitchen and luxurious bathrooms, alongside many carefully considered features that make this an outstanding family home.

The house is approached via an electric gated driveway and enjoys a sheltered, mature garden setting that offers an excellent degree of privacy. Together, these elements combine to make Speckled Wood one of the most appealing family homes currently available in North Nottinghamshire.
