Charming and beautifully presented, Maid Marian’s Cottage, which is on the market for offers of more than £375,000, is tucked away in the lovely village of Blidworth, on Main Street.
The three-bedroom, detached property exudes character with some classy, contemporary touches blending with rustic details, such as wonderful exposed beams. It offers the perfect synergy between old and new.
The cottage dates back to 1720, but everything has been extensively refurbished to ensure you can still enjoy a modern lifestyle.
An entrance hall leads into an open-plan, country-style kitchen diner, which is blessed with a walk-in pantry and a separate utility room.
A sunny, spacious lounge is packed with character features and overlooks a pretty courtyard garden.
One of the three bedrooms, complete with a shower room, is on the ground floor, while the other two are upstairs, including one with an en suite. A stylish bathroom completes the first-floor layout.
Located in a cul-de-sac setting, the cottage sits in an elevated, set-back position behind an idyllic, stone-walled garden. A gated entrance leads to a driveway and car port, with three parking spaces.
