A Rare Grade II Listed Architectural Treasure Dating Back to 1689. A fantastic opportunity to acquire a beautifully restored six bedroomed property.


The Dutch Cottage is an extraordinary example of Dutch architectural influence in England, dating back to 1689 and beautifully restored to celebrate more than three centuries of heritage.

This remarkable Grade II Listed home offers not only six bedrooms and generous accommodation but the rare opportunity to own a significant piece of the region’s history. Its distinctive gabled design immediately captures attention from the roadside, standing proudly yet harmoniously within the peaceful hamlet of Kelfield on the banks of the River Trent.

The restoration has been carried out to an exceptional standard, preserving the home’s unique character while enhancing its comfort and liveability. Natural woods, exposed brickwork, and characterful fireplaces have been thoughtfully incorporated, and original features — including the charming three-quarter-height door — have been carefully retained to honour the property’s historic roots.

Step Inside

A practical entrance porch provides a welcoming and sheltered approach to the home, offering useful space for coats, boots, and everyday essentials before stepping into the main accommodation.

Once inside, the property unfolds across three floors. A dual-aspect lounge flows openly into a formal dining room, creating an elegant and versatile living space ideal for both family life and entertaining. The bespoke solid wood kitchen enjoys a triple aspect, ensuring an abundance of natural light and delightful views across the gardens.

To the first floor, the principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower, while the further bedrooms are served by a family bathroom and a separate WC accessed from the landing. A staircase rises to the second floor, where the space is cleverly divided to create a fifth bedroom and an additional area ideal for a studio, teenage retreat, or additional bedroom — with ample space for a sitting area and study zone.

Step Outside

The rear of the property opens onto a landscaped garden, thoughtfully designed to complement the home’s historic character. A raised patio provides a perfect vantage point to enjoy sweeping views across the grounds, which gently descend towards the riverside. This idyllic outdoor setting is particularly enchanting during the summer months, offering a peaceful and private environment for relaxation, entertaining, or simply appreciating the natural beauty of the location.
