A NEW opportunity for keen gardeners to settle down in the picturesque four-bedroom cottage in the Nottinghamshire countryside has become available in Caunton.

Manor Cottage, brought to market by Nottinghamshire family estate agents Gascoines at a guide price of 700,000-, is a unique and beautifully extended period home dating back to around 1860, occupying an idyllic waterfront position overlooking the Caunton Beck.

The property has been thoughtfully updated to blend historic character with modern family living, offering four bedrooms, flexible reception spaces, a spacious kitchen diner, and a principal suite complete with a dressing area, en-suite and private balcony. Outside, a flagstone entertaining terrace and a charming wooden bridge that crosses the beck to a spacious mature walled garden across the beck create a tranquil setting surrounded by wildlife.

Luke Saywell, partner at Gascoines, said: “Brimming with character, Manor Cottage is the kind of property that doesn’t come to market very often. It offers buyers the chance to enjoy a slower pace of life in a beautiful village setting while still benefiting from generous indoor and outdoor living space.

“The gardens and desirable position on the beck are particularly special. Whether you’re a keen gardener, enjoy spending time outdoors or simply want a peaceful place to call home, this property offers a fantastic lifestyle opportunity.”

Luke added: “We’re seeing continued demand from buyers looking to balance countryside living with practical connectivity. Manor House delivers exactly that, combining period charm, generous outdoor space and a well-connected location that allows residents to enjoy the best of both.

”We expect the property will have tremendous appeal for a range of buyers so encourage anyone interested to get in touch quickly to arrange a viewing.”
