The Bassett, Mansfield

AN EXCEPTIONAL OPPORTUNITY!
Set in a peaceful position overlooking a large well maintained green, this beautifully proportioned four-bedroom detached family home is offered to the market realistically priced, with offers invited between £270,000 - £290,000— a genuinely attractive entry point for a home of this scale, versatility and potential.
This is a property that simply keeps giving. Generously sized throughout and thoughtfully laid out across two floors, it offers the kind of flexible, adaptable living space that is increasingly hard to find — ideal for growing families, multi-generational living, or anyone wanting room to work, relax and entertain without compromise. Whether kept exactly as it is or gradually put your own stamp on, the scope here is outstanding.
STEP INSIDE
A generous entrance hallway with built-in storage sets the tone from the moment you arrive, opening into a bright, welcoming living room and a versatile second reception space — equally suited to formal dining, a snug, or a home office for those working remotely as the current vendors do.
The heart of the home is undoubtedly the large, well-equipped kitchen, where French doors flood the room with natural light and open directly onto the garden — perfect for effortless indoor-outdoor living and entertaining. The kitchen connects seamlessly through to a practical utility room and a ground floor shower room, adding a layer of everyday flexibility that busy families will genuinely appreciate.
Upstairs, a central landing leads to four generously sized bedrooms. The master suite is a real highlight, benefiting from its own walk-in wardrobe and private en-suite wet room, while a well-appointed family bathroom serves the remaining three bedrooms — all comfortably proportioned and full of potential.
Outside, the property continues to impress. A well sized driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to a garage, while a good-sized secure rear garden — with a large lawn and seating area — offers a private, sunny spot to unwind or entertain.
SHIREBROOK: VILLAGE LIFE, & EVERY AMENITY CLOSE BY
Shirebrook offers that increasingly rare combination of genuine village character with everyday convenience right on the doorstep. The village centre — shops, supermarkets, a library, community centre and regular local market — is only a short walk or drive away, so day-to-day essentials are always close at hand, while the Designer Outlet East Midlands at Junction 29A of the M1 is easily reached for a bigger shopping trip.
Families are exceptionally well served for schooling. Langwith Bassett Primary Academy sits just moments away on Bassett Hill in Upper Langwith — a wonderfully convenient option for younger children — alongside St Joseph’s Catholic Primary, with Shirebrook Academy providing highly regarded secondary education for older pupils, all within easy reach of the property. Stubbins Wood School which is a school for SEN is also within easy reach.
Commuters are exceptionally well catered for too. Shirebrook railway station, on the Robin Hood Line, offers direct and frequent services — reaching Nottingham in around 47 minutes and Worksop in as little as 22 minutes — while nearby access to the M1 motorway opens up fast onward links across the East Midlands and beyond.
RURAL ESCAPES ON YOUR DOORSTEP
For lovers of the outdoors, the surrounding countryside is nothing short of spectacular. Pleasley Pit Country Park and Visitor Centre offers scenic trails and a fascinating slice of mining heritage, Shirebrook Wood is a beautiful spot for peaceful nature walks and birdwatching, and Three Lakes Country Park provides a stunning setting for gentle walking, fishing and simply enjoying the fresh air. Families will also love the nearby Willow Tree Family Farm — a brilliant day out on your own doorstep.
It’s this rare balance — a quiet, community-focused village setting, sweeping countryside on every side, and swift connections to Nottingham, Worksop and the wider motorway network — that makes this such a compelling place to put down roots.
Homes offering this much genuine versatility, this much space, and this much realistic pricing rarely stay on the market for long. With offers invited between £270,000 - £290,000, this is a fantastic opportunity to secure an outstanding family home in one of Shirebrook’s most desirable and convenient locations — early viewing is highly recommended.
