Ranby, Retford

DESCRIPTION

The Beeches is a handsome and extended period village residence, set amidst delightful, mature canalside grounds in all approximately 0.84 acres, and boasting two semi detached cottages and an array of versatile outbuildings.

A family home for many years, the property delivers flexible living space, capable of occupation in a number of ways and is sensibly extended. Period features have been enhanced and the two cottages (one requiring modernisation) within the curtilage provide potential for income generation, accommodation for dependent relatives, home working etc.

Principal features of the main house include two period reception rooms to which has been added a lovely bright and airy garden room which interlinks to both dining room and kitchen diner. At the other end of the house is further flexible living space, presently comprising library, bathroom with separately accessed bedroom over, this area readily lends itself to occupation as an annexe style living arrangement.

At first floor level, the sleeping space radiates around the central split level landings, both the main bedroom and second bedroom have dressing rooms and en suite bathrooms. Two further bedrooms are provided at first floor together with a house bathroom and a secondary staircase ascends to a bedroom/hobbies room created within the roof space.

The exterior grounds are a particular feature lying adjacent to the Chesterfield Canal with landscaped mature gardens in a wraparound style featuring flowing pathways and interlinking garden "rooms" ideal for sitting out.

There is a generous parking court to the side of which is a substantial garage with family hobbies room over and a further adjacent car barn. Further range of domestic outbuildings.

The Beeches features a pair of 2 bedroom semi detached cottages being 10 & 11 Old Blyth Road. One requires a full scheme of modernisation. The cottages are attached to the substantial garage and loft over, and as a whole this block lends itself to a variety of future uses, subject to all statutory consents.

The Beeches and The Cottages are equipped with oil fired central heating.
