Main Street, Morton

The Retreat by name, a retreat by nature.

Set in the much-loved village of Morton, this wonderfully private home has grown and evolved with the family over 34 years. Originally a bungalow, it has been extended into the loft and a detached double garage added. Most recently, a rear extension created the impressive kitchen and dining space, opening the back of the house to the garden.

A wall of stackable glass doors opens almost entirely onto the garden, creating a wonderfully sociable space for entertaining family and friends, whilst working equally well for everyday family life. Elsewhere, there is a generous sitting room and tucked-away snug.

The master bedroom is an impressive retreat, with dressing area and ensuite creating a private sanctuary. Two further bedrooms are upstairs, while a fourth bedroom on the ground floor offers flexibility for guests, family or single-floor living. A gym and study provide further options as home offices, playrooms, studios or whatever the next owners need. This is a house that gives you choices without dictating how you use them.

Outside, the garden provides a peaceful and private setting, with a generous lawn for children to play and a contemporary patio perfect for alfresco dining.

The Retreat is far from isolated. Morton is a village where people put down roots and homes rarely come to market. The Full Moon is a much-loved part of village life, with countryside and riverside walks close by. Fiskerton is walkable, with its shop and railway station, while Southwell is only a short drive away. The house is also in catchment for the Minster and junior schools, with school bus routes through the village.

The Retreat is a home that gives you space to live life your way and enjoy everything that makes Morton such a special place to call home.
