5 Bedroom Detached House

NO UPWARD CHAIN A wonderful opportunity to acquire a substantial FIVE BEDROOM Victorian villa, with exceptional views over Chesterfield Canal. Sympathetically upgraded under current ownership to preserve plentiful original features, this charming family home has benefitted from an extensive improvements programme totalling over £130,000, as listed below. These improvements have helped the property achieve an EPC rating of B, which is excellent for a period home. Now capturing an abundance of natural light due to the addition of further windows, and the installation of large, full-height picture windows to maximise the views over Chesterfield Canal, the ground floor living accommodation briefly comprises a porch, inviting entrance hall, lounge, ample family room, recently fitted breakfast kitchen, rear porch, utility room, music room, and a ground floor WC. A unique, galleried landing enjoying a little reading nook seamlessly flows into a reconfigured master suite, now boasting an en suite and walk-in wardrobe, three further bedrooms, and a family bathroom, showcasing a freestanding bath. To the second floor resides a further bedroom, and a hobby room, currently utilised as storage. In addition, an expansive basement poses a further conversion opportunity, subject to the necessary planning consents. Outside sees sizeable gardens with well-stocked flowerbed borders leading down to the water’s edge, alongside a large, upgraded summerhouse, a private, gated driveway accommodating multiple large vehicles, and a detached double garage. Such space offers excellent potential for further outbuildings, or an annexe, subject to the necessary planning consents. Situated in a popular residential area to the West of Retford, 25 Cobwell Road boasts close proximity to the market town’s array of everyday amenities, recreational facilities, restaurants, and schools for all age groups, whilst benefitting from great accessibility to the A1. Retford Oaks Academy, having most recently achieved a good Ofsted rating, is just a brief walk away, as is Retford Train Station on the East Coast Main Line, offering a direct line to London King’s Cross in less than 90 minutes at selected times.
