Rectory Court, Bottesford, Nottingham

** SEMI DETACHED HOME ** PREDOMINANTLY OVER 55s DEVELOPMENT ** 3 BEDROOMS ** SHOWER ROOM & GROUND FLOOR CLOAK ROOM ** PRIVATE GARDEN ** SHORT WALK TO THE HEART OF THE VILLAGE ** OFF ROAD PARKING ** CLOSE TO LOCAL AMENITIES ** DELIGHTFUL COMMUNAL GARDENS ** NO UPWARD CHAIN **

We have pleasure in offering to the market this interesting semi detached cottage style home tucked away in a predominantly over 55s development, occupying stunning grounds which sweep down to the River Devon and afford delightful views across to the pretty village church.

The property forms one of only a pair of unique semi detached dwellings within the Rectory Court development restricted to over 55s and occupying its own grounds, with ease of access to the heart of the village.

The accommodation approaches 950 sq.ft. providing an initial storm porch which leads through into the main entrance hall and a well proportioned dual aspect sitting room with pretty views to the church at the front and French doors leading out into the garden on the southerly side. In addition there is a dining kitchen, again with a delightful aspect into the gardens, and a ground floor cloak room leading off the main entrance hall. An attractive split level staircase with a large picture window providing a fantastic outlook leads up to a galleried landing and, in turn, three bedrooms and shower room.

The property benefits from gas central heating, the majority double glazing and relatively neutral decoration throughout and is being offered to the market with no upward chain. Although likely to require a general program of cosmetic updating the property provides a fantastic blank canvas for those wishing to place their own mark on home.

Overall this is a rare opportunity to purchase one of the larger dwellings within the development, particularly taking into account the large garden area. In addition there is a communal gated car park lying close to the entrance to Rectory Court with further pedestrian access out onto Church Street.

Overall viewing comes highly recommended to appreciate both the location and accommodation on offer.
