Babworth Road, Retford, Nottinghamshire, DN22

Barge Estates is honoured to present this magnificent five-bedroom, end of terrace, extended character residence, gracefully positioned on the prestigious Babworth Road in Retford. Constructed circa 1840, this remarkable home exudes timeless sophistication and architectural charm, having undergone an extensive programme of renovations and enhancement in recent years - each element executed to an exemplary standard of craftsmanship and refinement.
A charming resin-bound pathway leads to the elegant entrance, where one is immediately greeted by an atmosphere of grandeur and heritage. The principal sitting room showcases an original marble fireplace, an exquisite focal point that beautifully complements the property's period character. Large, elegantly proportioned windows invite an abundance of natural light, creating a serene and airy ambiance.
An adjoining secondary reception room provides a more intimate setting, featuring a recently installed log-burning stove, which lends both warmth and comfort throughout the cooler months. The ground floor further benefits from a comprehensive rewire, as well as the modern convenience of underfloor heating. A discreet understairs storage cupboard provides access to the cellar, offering additional practical space.
A versatile third reception room, presently utilised as a lounge or gym, lends itself equally well to formal dining or as a refined home office. The residence's soaring ceilings and generous proportions enhance the sense of grandeur that flows harmoniously throughout.
The downstairs W.C on the ground floor is elegant, adorned with quartz countertops, bespoke panelling, and a sophisticated aesthetic. The bespoke kitchen, forming part of the property's extension, is a culinary masterpiece. It is appointed with premium Neff appliances, including a built-in oven, microwave, and coffee machine, as well as quartz work surfaces, an induction hob, integrated wine refrigerator, boiling-water tap, and Insinkerator. Two Velux skylights and expansive bi-folding doors infuse the space with natural illumination, creating a bright and contemporary environment perfectly suited to both everyday living and entertaining. A substantial utility area offers extensive storage and practical workspace.
Ascending to the first floor, there are five impeccably proportioned bedrooms, some benefitting from bespoke fitted wardrobes, tall sash windows, and impressive ceiling heights. The family bathroom is appointed with a luxurious walk-in rainfall shower, exuding understated elegance and modern sophistication. There is a large loft hatch and the loft is partially boarded, creating a great space for storage. The property also features a cellar for additional storage.
Externally, the residence is enveloped by a beautifully landscaped wrap-around garden, offering both privacy and serenity. To the rear, the grounds feature a low-maintenance artificial lawn and a substantial detached outbuilding, ideally suited for use as a studio, home office, or gymnasium.
Perfectly positioned within the historic Georgian market town of Retford, the property enjoys immediate access to a wealth of amenities, including boutique shops, acclaimed public houses, and highly regarded educational establishments. The town is celebrated for its award-winning Kings Park, the tranquil River Idle, and excellent transport connectivity, with Retford Railway Station providing direct links to London King's Cross.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a home of such stature, provenance, and refinement, harmoniously blending period elegance with modern luxury in one of Retford's most desirable locations.
