Join the barn-y army with this delightful Nottinghamshire new build
Posted 9 December 2016 by
Keith OsborneHouse-hunters around rural Nottinghamshire will not just benefit from a high-quality conversion at 'The Sawmill' in Hawksworth – they’ll also find themselves sharing it with a resident barn owl, which can be watched through a fitted CCTV system.
The four-bedroom property, marketed by Richard Watkinson & Partners for Norse Homes, has been refurbished and fitted to very high standards to provide an attractive family home with character, and comes with its special guest already feeling well at home – a particular appeal to buyers with a keen interest in wildlife.
Jessica Nicholson, branch manager at the agent’s Bingham office, says: “This family home is bursting with character - including the feathered friend nesting in the hanging loft which has generated a lot of interest from buyers already as the cleverly concealed CCTV cameras mean that the owl’s every move can be viewed from the media area of the kitchen. It is a beautiful, four-bedroom barn conversion which is steeped in history, set within generous, mature grounds – which have obviously attracted Nottinghamshire’s wildlife.”
Priced at £875,000, 'The Sawmill' is located 15 miles east of Nottingham. “As the name would suggest, [it] is a former Victorian sawmill so the high ceilings, exposed beams and characterful features which run throughout are offset by the tasteful modern features including a glass staircase, walk-in dressing room and an impressive L-shaped living space extension,” adds Nicholson. “It is the ideal home for entertaining and perfect for growing families, with contemporary en suites attached to two of the four large bedrooms, a large open-plan kitchen living space and a gated driveway with two double garages.”
The sleek kitchen units and appliances are just one aspect of the thoroughly modern features throughout the home, matched by a utility room, elegant bathroom and en suite fittings, a walk-in wardrobe to the master bedroom, oak internal doors
