Bunnison Lane, Colston Bassett, NG12

An exceptional opportunity to acquire a substantial and beautifully curated country residence within one of Nottinghamshire’s most prestigious and sought-after villages, Colston Bassett.

THE OLD FARMHOUSE
Discreetly positioned along a quiet country lane at the heart of the village, The Old Farmhouse enjoys an idyllic setting surrounded by rolling countryside and unspoilt rural views. This remarkable home comprises a sensitively refurbished five-bedroom, four-bathroom detached period farmhouse, complemented by a striking three-bedroom, two-bathroom contemporary barn-style annexe — collectively offering an impressive and highly versatile country home.

The principal farmhouse blends timeless character with refined modern living, its elegant proportions and heritage features thoughtfully enhanced to create a warm yet sophisticated family home. Adjacent, The Barn presents a beautifully executed contemporary conversion, offering light-filled, design-led accommodation with clean architectural lines — ideal for multi-generational living, guest accommodation or independent occupation.

The property is set within approximately 0.5 acres of established, mature cottage gardens, rich in seasonal colour and framed by traditional planting. Beyond lies a further secure paddock of approximately one acre, complete with three stables and its own independent vehicular access — perfectly suited to equestrian or lifestyle use.

Ample off-street parking for up to six vehicles is provided, together with the convenience of an EV charging point.

PLANNING PERMISSION GRANTED
The Old Farmhouse has been designed with flexibility at its core. Planning consent (Rushcliffe Borough Council Planning Reference: 20/00121/FUL) has been granted for a striking final rear extension phase of approximately 500 sq ft, which would enable the Barn to be physically connected to the main farmhouse should a purchaser wish to create one substantial unified residence, the result being a rather special home.

In its current configuration, the property operates seamlessly as two distinct dwellings: a five-bedroom farmhouse and a self-contained three-bedroom barn, each enjoying its own private and separate garden space. The approved “as proposed” plans can be discussed in detail during a private viewing with the current architect owner.

VERSATILE ACCOMMODATION & INCOME POTENTIAL
The inherent adaptability of this country house is further underscored by The Barn’s successful operation as a high-performing Airbnb, generating an average net income of approximately £4,000 per month since October 2021. While income naturally varies seasonally, the enduring appeal of the village setting, proximity to key arterial routes, and strong demand for premium short-term accommodation present an attractive optional income stream — enhancing what is already a superb and substantial family home.

IN CONCLUSION
The Old Farmhouse represents a rare and refined offering: a distinguished period home with contemporary accompaniment, set within generous grounds in one of Nottinghamshire’s most desirable villages.

Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the scale, lifestyle flexibility and exceptional quality of accommodation on offer.
