House For Sale £235,000
A peerless family home with no expense spared on every possible improvement: West Grove Road.
Countless custom automations have transformed this beautiful 4-bed into an incredibly low-maintenance smart home, with a spellbinding garden that stretches deep into the exquisite Retford countryside.
Time to explore:
You will find West Grove Road tucked away in Nottinghamshire just south of the beloved community of Retford, one of the oldest market towns in English history. This is an attractive spot surrounded by quaint villages, lending the area a wonderful sense of community. This is reflected in the wide array of group events such as amateur dramatics, golf, taekwondo, art, athletics, and choir groups. The town is home to a great range of amenities including good schools, handy supermarkets, local shops and restaurants, and cultural hubs such as the Retford Library and Bassetlaw Museum. Travelling further afield is easily achieved thanks to the nearby A1 and the Retford railway station, giving you direct links to other urban centres such as Sheffield, Lincoln, and even the capital. There is plenty of stunning natural beauty in the local area too, most notably the stunningly landscaped Kings Park and the Chesterfield Canal that runs through town. West Grove Road itself backs onto beautiful wild fields, with a long driveway to the front perfect for commuting professionals.
Step inside your new home:
West Grove Road is a home like no other, having undergone numerous bespoke improvements under the loving care of its previous occupants. When you enter the front porch, the automatic lights turn on to save you fumbling around in the dark with shopping bags. This intelligent lighting can be found in every corner of the home, both inside and outside. The lounge is a substantial space with glossy tiling that runs through into the kitchen/diner and a gas fire with a built-in log store. In front of the stairs is a wall opening that gives you a glimpse of the majestic tropical fish tank beyond it. The ground floor communal spaces open into each other, creating a wonderful flow for social activity. The stunning custom-built kitchen has seen a host of improvements and is currently in the ideal layout for the space. This includes sleek worktops and appliances including a lavish double oven, ample cupboard and under-stairs storage, a practical breakfast bar, and room for a large dining set.
A charming saloon door takes you through to the utility, featuring worktops, room for an array of white goods, and a downstairs WC. The playroom/snug is a lovely spot overlooking the impressive tropical fish tank, perfect for a quiet sitting room for adults or a hobby space for kids. There is even an integrated multi-channel sound system wired throughout the ground floor, allowing you to listen to different sources across several parts of the home. Finishing the ground floor is the extraordinary fish tank, currently on its second spectacular configuration. This boasts its own plant room with automation for filtration, feeding, and managing the water, making this an exceptionally low maintenance statement feature. The vendor has also kindly offered to train you on how to operate the system and care for the fish, meaning you never have to feel daunted by it. Upstairs, you will find four beautiful bedrooms and two three-piece suites. Bedrooms 1,2 and 3 are all well-sized doubles with ample room for storage solutions. Bedroom 4 would make a cosy single or perhaps a stylish home office. The monochrome family bathroom boasts a staggeringly modern specification, featuring a clawfoot rolltop double-ended bath, an integrated television, and smart automatic lighting that switches on at a low level when used at night. The shower room is just as immaculate with ample room for bathroom storage and a large walk-in shower for ease of use.
The wildlife of West Grove Road:
West Grove Road is a one-of-a-kind house that is as remarkable outside as it is within. The rear garden begins with a raised patio, home to an immense koi pond with a similar automation to the indoor tropical fish tank. The whole tank is illuminated and includes a waterfall feature, meaning it looks stunning at night under its starlit canopy. Occupying the lower patio is a luxurious covered hot tub and barbecue area, perfect for hosting friends for lunch or evening drinks. Following this is an extensive lawn which automatic streetlamps run the length of. The first lawn area is framed by exotic flowerbeds which has a tailored water supply for each plant's specific needs. The second lawn area has a sizeable wooden playground and a trampoline, perfect for keeping growing children entertained. The third section of lawn features apple trees and soft fruit bushes, perfect for anyone keen on cooking and baking. The fourth area is wild, but neighbours use their equivalent space as a substantial allotment garden. At the very bottom of this enormous expanse is the Retford countryside itself and the beautiful River Idle. A wooden decking overlooks the river, giving you a spellbinding environment for outdoor dining.
