THIS TRULY IS A MAGNIFICENT COUNTRY RESIDENCE SET IN APPROXIMATELY 1.3 ACRES OF FORMAL LAWNED GARDENS IN THIS MOST SOUGHT AFTER RURAL LOCATION BETWEEN NOTTINGHAM AND DERBY. SINCE PURCHASING THE PROPERTY THE CURRENT OWNERS HAVE CARRIED OUT AN EXTENSIVE AND HIGH QUALITY ENLARGEMENT PROGRAMME THAT HAS CREATED AN INDIVIDUAL AND VERY SPECIAL HOME THAT OFFERS MUCH MORE THAN ANY OTHER SIMILAR PROPERTIES THAT HAVE COME TO THE MARKET OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS.
It indeed provides Robert Ellis with immense pleasure to be instructed to market Greythorpe Court which provides high quality and spacious accommodation that is arranged on two levels. The property is well screened from the road and is entered via automatically operated gates that lead to the pebbled drive that runs to the front of the property. The current owners purchased their home approximately 12 years ago and since then have carried out a series of extensions which has substantially enlarged the original house so it now takes full advantage of its beautiful plot that includes manicured formal lawned gardens that surround the house and in turn back onto open and unspoilt countryside. If this is the style of residence that would suit the requirements of a potential buyer who is looking for something special, then it is highly recommended they make an appointment with Robert Ellis to undertake a full inspection so they can see the full extent of this most beautiful home and the layout and size of the gardens that are within the grounds of the property for themselves.
The property stands well back from Derby Road and from each elevation has a most attractive appearance with all the main living areas on the left hand side and rear opening onto the private patios and gardens. The original house was built in the 1930´s and the extensions that have been added over recent years have been completed so they are in keeping with the original home. In fact the property has been so well designed it has the feeling externally that it was all the original property with rendering to the external elevations, leaded windows to the front and main side elevation all under a series of pitched tiled roofs. The house is heated by a full GAS CENTRAL HEATING system with UNDER FLOOR HEATING extending across all the main ground floor living accommodation and an air conditioned heating system to the entertainment suite that is positioned to the rear of the house. The property is entered via an impressive pair of wooden panelled doors which open into the spacious entrance hallway with this hall area having polished lime stone tiled flooring which extends into the open plan formal dining room. From the hall there is a sweeping hard wood staircase with balustrade leading to a galleried landing at first floor level. The main living space is positioned to the rear of the house where there is a large area providing a lounge, sitting area and space which is currently used as a study. This room has a most magnificent individually designed fireplace that has a marble surround with a granite hearth and being a wood burning fire has a protective fire resistance glass screen all set in a mirrored chimney breast.
