The Dower House, Church Lane, Carlton on Trent, Nottinghamshire NG23 6LP
A fine and substantial Grade II-listed village house, The Dower House is one of those rare homes that feel both impressive and inviting, a quietly confident, "proper country house". Believed to have medieval origins, with handsome Georgian and Regency additions enhancing its Gothic-influenced grandeur, The Dower House is a distinguished country residence. Standing within its enchanting and sheltered walled gardens (0.56 Acres) it offers a wonderfully atmospheric period home afforded the ease and comfort of a modern family home. The main house is arranged over three floors with useful cellarage, and the layout has been planned to work beautifully for both relaxed day-to-day life and generous entertaining. At its heart is a welcoming reception hall leading to four elegant reception rooms, a superb kitchen/breakfast room made for gathering, a laundry, a cloakroom, and a large workshop. Upstairs, the principal bedroom has its own ensuite and dressing room, with six further bedrooms, three bathrooms, a study, and a cinema/media room; ample space for family, friends, and guests. The period fabric has been carefully preserved and celebrated, the Drawing Room and Dining Room retain their original Venetian marble fireplaces, whilst modern comforts abound. A new bespoke kitchen, an elegant staircase, a cinema room, a dressing room, and a laundry have all been added, and the bathrooms fully refurbished. The rear gardens are very much an extension of the living space. A broad terrace runs along the back of the house - ideal for summer lunches and evening drinks. Direct access Newark, Lincoln, Grantham, Nottingham, and Sheffield, with a swift main line London rail service from Newark Northgate into Kings Cross (70-90mins).
