Property description

A Grade II* listed detached property, with many original period features throughout, Ivy Cottage was built in around 1690 by Thomas Parkyns, the 'Wrestling Squire of Bunny', landowner and architect. Located in the centre of the village, this fine house enjoys a wide frontage to Main Street with spacious ground, first and second floor accommodation. The construction is of brick, with stone mullioned windows and stone orb finials. The steep roof and extended gables with brick corbels are characteristics of Parkyns houses.This is a rare opportunity to acquire a period property in this delightful unspoilt, popular village. The house stands in approximately 0.7 of an acre of land, comprising an attractive, very private walled cottage garden, an enclosed driveway and courtyard. The current owners planted approximately 450 native deciduous trees, which are now more than 20 years old and provide a secluded wood on the southern boundary of the property.In addition, there is a listed detached coach house, which has the potential for conversion to a separate dwelling. Rushcliffe Borough Council have indicated informally that they can see no objection in planning terms why this should not be possible, but potential purchasers should make their own enquiries. A NEIGHBOURING 3.6 ACRE AREA OF PADDOCK AND WOODLAND IS AVAILABLE BY SEPARATE NEGOTIATION.
