Skegby Lane, Mansfield, NG19

118a Skegby Lane 

Within a peaceful and sought-after pocket of Mansfield, discover refined modern living at 118a Skegby Lane, a beautifully finished five-bedroom family home, completed in 2022 and positioned behind secure electric gates on a generous plot with landscaped gardens and a detached double garage. 

A welcoming approach 

Set back beyond the gated entrance, the driveway sweeps up to a handsome contemporary home, thoughtfully designed and built to an exceptional standard. The façade combines timeless brickwork with statement glazing, complemented by anthracite grey windows, still under their 10-year guarantee, a subtle detail that reflects the quality and care invested throughout. 

There is ample parking to the front, along with a detached double garage, and gated pathways at both sides of the house leading to a fully enclosed rear garden, creating complete privacy and security for family living. 

A warm welcome 

Step inside the light-filled hallway, where soft neutral tones, high ceilings and immaculate finishes set the tone for the home ahead. Camaro LVT flooring flows seamlessly throughout the ground floor, with underfloor heating adding a sense of understated comfort to every step. 

To the left, the hallway opens into a beautifully inviting snug, a peaceful, intimate space ideal for relaxed evenings or quiet moments. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame views of the front garden, filling the room with soft natural light by day, while a recently installed media wall with integrated lighting brings warmth and atmosphere as night falls. Designed for comfort, this is a cosy retreat for family movie nights or reading by lamplight. 

From the hallway, a partially tiled WC offers practicality with style, fitted with a floating vanity unit with inset basin, WC, and a heated LED mirror adding a touch of contemporary luxury. Nearby, a plant room houses the hot water tank and provides excellent space for the storage of coats, shoes and household essentials, while neatly tucked beneath the stairs sits the manifold for the underfloor heating system, discreetly positioned yet easily accessible. 

The heart of the home 

To the right of the hallway lies the open-plan kitchen, dining and family space, the true heart of this home, perfectly blending function and design. 

Soft matte grey cabinetry and Quartz worktops combine for a clean, contemporary aesthetic, illuminated by subtle under-cabinet and plinth lighting. A beautifully finished marble-tiled splashback adds depth and texture behind the sink area, complemented by the elegant, brushed brass Quooker instant boiling and filtered water tap, bringing a luxurious, tactile warmth to the space. 

The central island forms the social hub of the kitchen, a place for gathering, cooking or sipping coffee in the morning light, with breakfast bar seating for four and a sleek induction hob with integrated downdraught extractor set neatly into the surface. Above, a statement pendant light feature adds a touch of glamour and balance. 

Premium integrated appliances include a full-height fridge and freezer, two Bosch ovens, a Kenwood dishwasher, and the Quooker tap, ensuring the kitchen not only looks beautiful but performs flawlessly. Bi-fold doors open directly from the kitchen end onto the garden terrace, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow for entertaining or relaxed summer dining. 

Flowing naturally from the kitchen, the dining area sits elegantly at the centre of the open-plan layout, a space framed by clean lines and softened by natural light from the rear glazing. It is the perfect setting for both intimate dinners and lively family gatherings, anchored by a stunning walnut media wall with integrated feature lighting that adds texture, depth and a refined sense of warmth. 

A separate utility room continues the sleek design theme, fitted with matching cabinetry and worktops, with space for both washing machine and dryer, and a stainless steel sink. With direct access outside, it is both stylish and practical, ideal for managing the demands of busy family life. 

Ground-floor suite 

Currently used as a calming salon space, this versatile room offers endless potential, whether as a professional treatment area, peaceful home office, guest suite, or independent bedroom with its own private ensuite shower room. Bathed in soft light and finished to the same high standard as the rest of the home, it is a beautifully flexible space designed to evolve with changing needs. 

Sleep and sanctuary 

Ascend the softly carpeted staircase to the first-floor landing, where natural light streams down from a Velux window above, creating an airy sense of space as you move through the upper floor. 

To one side, the principal bedroom suite forms a luxurious retreat, a space designed for rest, indulgence and privacy. Vaulted ceilings enhance the impressive sense of light and scale, while floor-to-ceiling windows on the front elevation draw in the morning sun and frame views of the landscaped approach. Bespoke electric blinds offer both convenience and elegance, adding a refined finish to the contemporary design. 

A fully fitted dressing area provides generous storage and flow into a sleek, spa-inspired ensuite, complete with a walk-in rainfall shower, wall-hung vanity unit and designer fixtures. The entire suite feels calm, elevated and beautifully balanced, a private haven where everyday life melts away. 

Bedroom Two, also on the front elevation, features floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the room with natural light. Currently used as a home gym, it is finished with the same Camaro LVT flooring found downstairs, complemented by a wall of mirrors that enhances the light and sense of space, an ideal multi-purpose room that could just as easily serve as a guest suite or stylish home office. 

Bedroom Three is currently a charming nursery, dressed in soft pink tones with elegant wall panelling and a dorma window adding a gentle sense of light and character. Thoughtfully designed, it is a restful, nurturing space perfect for a young child. 

On the rear elevation, Bedroom Four is a large double bedroom with space to create a fitted dressing area if desired, a peaceful and versatile room with views over the garden and beyond. 

Centrally positioned on the landing, the family bathroom is equally well appointed, featuring a dorma window that brings in natural light, a large end-filling bath, a separate walk-in shower, and contemporary tiling that ties the scheme together in a calm, modern style. 

Outdoor living 

Step outside to a garden designed for relaxation and easy maintenance. The artificial lawn creates an immaculate year-round finish, bordered by smart fencing with integrated lighting that softly illuminates the boundary by night. Subtle patio edge lighting enhances the ambience for evening entertaining, while outdoor plug sockets add practicality for seasonal décor or outdoor cooking. 

A wide paved terrace spans the rear of the home, offering the perfect spot for dining and lounging, framed by well-kept planting and secure gated access on both sides. The detached double garage sits conveniently nearby, providing secure parking and additional storage.
