High Street, Collingham, NG23

GUIDE PRICE £575,000 to £585,000 A truly one-of-a-kind detached cottage, believed to date back to around 1750, this is a home full of charm, warmth and flexibility. Tastefully renovated and adapted for modern family living, it combines the character and atmosphere of a historic cottage with generous, practical and highly usable accommodation.

The heart of the home is the open plan kitchen, dining and family room designed for everyday family life and entertaining. With quartz worktops, a double sink, generous breakfast bar, space for a large dining table and a relaxed seating area by the Heta multi-fuel stove, this is a room where family life naturally gathers. The aluminium bi-folding doors open directly onto the patio and garden, creating an indoor-outdoor feel in the warmer months, while the stove makes the space warm and inviting through the winter. The lounge offers a calm and intimate feel, with a top-of-the-range Clearview multi-fuel stove adding warmth and classic cottage character. The garden room also adds to the lifestyle appeal, providing a peaceful and bright space with French doors opening directly onto the patio and views down the garden. The ground floor offers excellent flexibility beyond the main living spaces. The utility/hobby room is much larger than a typical utility and is currently used for laundry, storage, office space and exercise equipment. Together with the boot room and ground floor WC, this part of the house works brilliantly for busy family life, but also offers potential for home working, home business use or even an annexe-style arrangement, subject to any necessary permissions.

Upstairs, the property continues to feel spacious and practical, with four double bedrooms and a modern family bathroom. The main bedroom has a useful walk-in wardrobe and smart ensuite WC featuring dual sinks, mirrored cabinets with lighting and shaver sockets, and a heated towel rail. The remaining bedrooms are all genuine doubles, offering excellent flexibility. The family bathroom has a luxurious but practical feel, with a freestanding bath, separate double shower, heated towel rail, vanity unit and mirrored cabinet.

Outside, the landscaped garden has been designed as a series of attractive and usable spaces. There is a generous patio area for outdoor dining and entertaining, a gravelled seating area with sofas and gazebo for relaxing, and a landscaped garden with gravel paths, planted borders and a lovely magnolia tree. A further seating area catches the morning sun, while the south-facing openness of the garden means it enjoys sun throughout the day, with the patio, bi-folds and garden room catching the last of the evening light. A greenhouse, shed, log store, rose borders and front gravelled path add both practicality and charm. The large, gravelled driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles and includes an electric charging point. One neighbouring property has a right of access across part of the driveway, serving only that property and not causing practical issue.

The property has also been thoughtfully updated with refitted uPVC doors and windows throughout, aluminium bi-folding doors, fitted blinds, gas central heating and carefully chosen finishes that balance modern convenience with the original charm of the cottage. This is a home with real personality: spacious, flexible, sociable and full of character. For buyers seeking something individual rather than ordinary, a home with warmth rather than blandness, and a village lifestyle with excellent amenities close at hand, this cottage offers a rare and memorable opportunity.
