Guide Price £700,000 - £725,000

This remarkable six-bedroom detached home was individually crafted by respected local developer Jamie Spittlehouse of Trent Valley Homes and completed in June 2021. Forming part of an exclusive collection of only seven properties along a private road, the residence occupies a particularly privileged plot, chosen to take full advantage of its exceptional west-facing position and uninterrupted outlook across the surrounding countryside.

From the moment you arrive, the property makes an impressive statement. A generous driveway provides plentiful parking and leads to the double garage, complete with an electrically operated door. The attractive approach, peaceful position and open rural backdrop immediately distinguish this home, with the quality of its construction and specification evident before stepping through the door.

The setting is undoubtedly one of the property's greatest assets. Open farmland stretches beyond the garden, creating far reaching views and an extraordinary sense of space and privacy. Its westerly orientation allows the home and gardens to capture the afternoon and evening sunshine, with the changing countryside and spectacular sunsets providing a beautiful backdrop throughout the seasons.

Stepping inside, an elegant entrance hallway creates a sophisticated introduction to the accommodation. Bright, spacious and immaculately finished, it sets the tone for the quality found throughout the remainder of the home. A contemporary ground floor contactless WC is conveniently positioned nearby, together with a useful storage cupboard. The downstairs benefits from underfloor heating throughout.

At the heart of the property is the outstanding kitchen and dining space, designed to provide a luxurious setting for both everyday family life and entertaining. Beautiful cabinetry is paired with elegant Quartz work surfaces, while a substantial central island provides an impressive focal point and a natural gathering place for family and guests.

The appliance specification reflects the exceptional standard found throughout the property. Integrated Smeg ovens sit alongside a Miele microwave, Smeg five burner hob and Neff extractor, while a Belfast sink adds a timeless finishing touch. The combination of premium appliances, quality materials and carefully considered detailing creates a kitchen that is both highly functional and beautifully presented.

Expansive bi-folding doors open directly onto the rear garden and terrace, creating a wonderful continuation of the entertaining space. In the warmer months, the kitchen, dining area and garden can be enjoyed almost as one, with the open countryside providing a remarkable backdrop.

A practical utility area adjoins the kitchen and discreetly accommodates an integrated washing machine and tumble dryer. As with the principal kitchen, the emphasis remains firmly on quality and attention to detail, with premium fixtures and fittings selected throughout.

The lounge offers a more intimate yet equally sophisticated setting. Beautifully proportioned and finished with a distinctly premium feel, the room is centred around a striking Stovevax log burning stove which brings warmth and character to the space. Patio doors open onto the rear garden, framing the countryside beyond while allowing natural light to fill the room.

The first floor provides four spacious bedrooms, each offering comfortable proportions and a beautifully presented finish. Two of the bedrooms enjoy their own contemporary en-suite facilities, together with wonderful views across the neighbouring fields, creating peaceful private spaces from which to appreciate the property's rural surroundings.

Serving the remaining bedrooms is an elegant family bathroom, finished with marble-effect tiling across the walls and floor. A generous walk-in shower, contemporary fittings and carefully considered detailing give the room a sophisticated, hotel-inspired quality.

Continuing to the upper floor reveals another substantial bedroom, offering a wonderful sense of privacy away from the main sleeping accommodation. Antique effect Karndean flooring brings warmth and individuality to the room, while a large Velux window introduces an abundance of natural light.

The adjoining en-suite has been completed to an equally impressive standard, with a freestanding bath creating a striking focal point alongside a generous walk-in shower. Beautiful lighting and carefully selected finishes combine to create a calm and indulgent space.
Beyond is the dressing room or bedroom six, currently configured as a luxurious dressing area with extensive fitted wardrobes lining the walls. The room provides exceptional storage while retaining an elegant and uncluttered appearance, although its generous proportions allow it to transition comfortably into a sixth bedroom if required.

Outside, the garden is a defining feature of this exceptional home. A beautifully maintained lawn is complemented by a generous paved terrace, creating an idyllic setting for outdoor dining, entertaining and long summer evenings.

The garden opens visually towards the surrounding farmland, allowing the rural outlook to take centre stage. With countryside views extending into the distance and very little to interrupt the panorama, the position provides a degree of openness and tranquillity that is increasingly difficult to find. The west-facing aspect is particularly special towards the end of the day, when the garden becomes an enviable vantage point for the evening sun and sunsets beyond the fields.

The property enjoys an enviable position within Sturton le Steeple, an attractive North Nottinghamshire village surrounded by open countryside. Offering a quieter pace of life without feeling isolated, the village is particularly appealing for those looking to combine a rural setting with convenient access to nearby towns and everyday amenities.

At the heart of the community is the village pub, providing a welcoming local setting and adding to the traditional village atmosphere. The surrounding lanes, footpaths and countryside offer plenty of opportunity for walking and enjoying the landscape, making the location especially appealing for those who value outdoor living.

The historic market town of Retford is within easy reach, providing a comprehensive selection of independent shops, supermarkets, cafés, restaurants and leisure facilities. Retford also offers excellent transport connections, including its railway station with services on the East Coast Main Line, making the village an attractive proposition for buyers wishing to enjoy countryside living while retaining strong links further afield.

The wider area is also home to some of Nottinghamshire's most celebrated countryside and heritage destinations, with Clumber Park, Sherwood Forest and Rufford Abbey all accessible for days out, woodland walks and exploring the region.

Sturton le Steeple offers an increasingly desirable combination: a genuine village environment, beautiful surrounding countryside and convenient access to Retford and the wider North Nottinghamshire area. For this particular home, the location is made even more special by its exceptional west-facing position, where uninterrupted rural views and spectacular evening sunsets create a wonderful sense of space and seclusion.
