Westgate, Southwell

Handsome in it's proportions and symmetry, this Grade II listed, 3 bedroom Georgian property sits proudly on Westgate in Southwell, with it’s sunny yellow door shining onto the street offering a cheerful welcome before you have even crossed the threshold.

Step inside and you are met with all the character and charm you would hope for in a Georgian cottage with the gentle pull of the garden beyond, glimpsed through a fully glazed door to the end of the hallway. Here, a double-height ceiling rises above, filling the space with natural light and an airy sense of openness that feels both surprising and uplifting.

Downstairs, the cosy sitting room is a place for slow evenings in front of the fire whilst to the other side, the house opens out into a sociable, open plan kitchen, dining and living space designed for the everyday rhythms that make a house a home. A welcome addition can be found beneath the stairs, where worn stone steps leads you down into the cellar. A wonderfully practical space, currently arranged as a pantry, storage and utility area offering that all important extra room every home quietly relies on. Upstairs, the three well-proportioned bedrooms are served by a family bathroom.

Outside, the story continues. A walled garden wraps gently from the rear to the side, creating a private, sun-soaked haven. South facing, it invites long afternoons on the patio, the kind that stretch easily into the evening. And then, something a little different. Set apart is a charming former frame knitter's cottage; a space with a history of its own. Inside there is a studio with a log-burning stove and washroom which offers a warm, creative hub; upstairs, two further rooms offer flexibility in abundance. Guest accommodation, a home office, a studio, a games room; a space that can adapt as life changes.

With a private drive and parking and the sought after charm of Southwell just moments away, this is a home that delivers character, personality and versatility.
