Gable End, Newstead Abbey Park

Welcome to Newstead Abbey Park…

This exquisite house is situated within a converted cluster of former stable block buildings that create a picture-perfect exterior. Set within an exclusive courtyard, overlooking Newstead Abbey and nestled alongside the Upper Lake, ‘Gable End’ is full of character features and a wealth of grandeur, along with contemporary finishes and cosy additions that ensure it remains delightfully inviting. An exceptional open-plan family dining kitchen sits alongside an incredibly elegant reception room, and there’s a modern cloakroom. Three opulent bedrooms over two further floors are joined by a bespoke bathroom. All of these features include a private driveway in the courtyard, the most idyllic and substantial landscaped garden, and views over the Abbey and parkland that are quite magical.

First Impressions…

The interior is immaculate, showcasing up-to-date touches and tasteful styling yet preserving the building's historic essence. Complimenting the classical romantic external architecture with touches of gothic detailing mirroring the Abbey, there’s an appealing sense of living somewhere with a story. Generous accommodation spread over three floors presents an imaginative but sensitively designed layout. Upon entry via the charming covered porch, there is an impeccably finished reception hall with a solid oak staircase leading to the upper floors, a convenient cloakroom dressed with modern fittings and stylish finishes, and access to the ground floor accommodation, which brings together the former harness room to make a large, comfortable, open-plan family kitchen diner with doors to the garden and the former saddle room, which is now a luxurious lounge with fine décor, a wonderful high ceiling and an exceedingly stately air. Three decadently presented bedrooms over two more floors include, on the first floor, a big bright principal bedroom joined by a second equally gorgeous double bedroom and a lavish on-trend bathroom. There is a fabulous adaptable third bedroom that spans the top floor and could also double as a study or additional peaceful snug or sitting room tucked out of the way if it suits your requirements.

A Stunning Exterior & Captivating Setting…

The private communal courtyard is entered via a handsome archway directly facing the Abbey, with the stable block buildings being built of a warm-coloured stone and featuring gothic arched stone windows with mullions and traditional stone surrounds, dramatic chimneys and traces of the Abbey's history, including the coat of arms and initials of William Webb, who bought Newstead Abbey in 1860 from the previous owner, Colonel Thomas Wildman. ‘Gable End’ boasts a fantastic position fronting the stable block and occupies the south range corner. Immediately outside the property, a flagstone driveway provides private parking in the courtyard with a utility store and electric vehicle charger. An immaculately kept rear garden has been lovingly landscaped to incorporate smart patio seating areas and an expansive lawn with mature shrub and hedge borders. This is undeniably a unique lifestyle with access to acres of picturesque and established parkland.

Newstead Abbey Park and Further Afield…

“The Abbey dates back to the 12th century with a fascinating history but is most well known as the ancestral home of the romantic poet Lord Byron. The sought-after village of Ravenshead is in close proximity for amenities and shops, including a grocer's, a deli/butcher, and a post office. All of the necessary services are available, including a doctor's surgery, a dentist, chemists, and hairdressers. There is a Sainsbury's Local to top up your weekly shop and a farm shop for a taste of country life. The village hall, library, leisure centre and church offer social activities and events. There are several pubs, including 'The Hutt’, a much-loved historic pub, directly opposite the entrance to Newstead Abbey. For families, there is primary schooling in the village, and catchment secondary schools are nearby. Travel links are excellent, with Mansfield and Nottingham being easy to reach, and there is quick access to J27 of the M1 for commuters.”- Nick Lawton eXp
