Without doubt, a particular feature of Dunham House is its location in the historic river crossing village of Dunham on Trent and its mature grounds. There is an enclosed south facing garden which is mostly laid to lawn with established trees and borders. The property is approached by hand gate with steps up from the pavement to the front panel door or via a gated driveway with good parking. The single storey buildings to the rear comprise a good sized games room and two stores which were the original former stables. These would make an ideal self-contained annexe or home office subject to the necessary planning consents being granted.
A degree of refurbishment is required yet the property offers potential to create a stunning family residence. Mains water and drainage are supplied along with an oil fired central heating system.
Agents Notes - The property is Grade II Listed under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 as amended for its special architectural and historic interest. The property, being Grade II Listed is exempt from the requirement to provide an Energy Performance Certificate.
