A charming Grade II listed period home nestling in the heart of this highly sought after village. Boasting five bedrooms and a wonderful garden.<br/><br/> <b>Description</b><br/><br/>11 College Street is an elegant Grade II Listed three-storey period village house, discreetly positioned in the heart of the sought-after village of East Bridgford, adjoining Butts Field. <br/><br/>The house enjoys a wonderfully private and quintessentially English garden setting, combining seclusion with a central village location.<br/><br/>Responsibly maintained and sensitively improved by the current owner, the property offers a generous and versatile family home, rich in original architectural character and period detail throughout.<br/><br/>The ground floor is arranged around a welcoming entrance hall, which immediately illustrates the heritage of the house, with exposed ceiling timbers, quarry tiled flooring and a charming open brick fireplace. French doors open into the garden room/orangery, creating an easy transition between house and garden. <br/><br/>A handsome side staircase hall rises from this level and provides access to cellarage and useful storage.<br/><br/>The impressive garden room/orangery enjoys views across a sheltered courtyard garden and opens onto a stone terrace. A mono-pitched glazed roof and exposed period brickwork ensure excellent natural light.<br/><br/>There are two elegant principal reception rooms. The sitting room is a refined and well-proportioned space with a marble period fireplace fitted with a wood-burning stove, exposed beam, recessed shelving and sash window to College Street. <br/><br/>The formal dining room, equally characterful, also features a fluted marble fireplace with wood burner, exposed beam and sash window, with double doors leading back to the orangery—ideal for entertaining.<br/><br/>The handcrafted country kitchen is fitted with a bespoke Shortland Crafts pippy oak installation, centred around a traditional two-oven gas-fired Aga. Complementary fittings include granite work surfaces, a Smeg five-ring gas hob with Bosch double oven, stainless steel sink and period sash windows. <br/><br/>A side door opens to the courtyard. Adjoining is a well-equipped utility/laundry room with limestone flooring, generous storage and a separate cloakroom.<br/><br/>The first floor is approached via an elegant two-flight period staircase with an arched window overlooking the rear gardens. <br/><br/>The principal bedroom suite is a particular highlight, featuring a period fireplace, exposed beam, bespoke fitted wardrobes and a high-quality en suite bathroom/wet room with freestanding bath, rain shower and underfloor heating.<br/><br/>There are two further first-floor bedrooms, including a generous double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and dual aspect, and a large central study, ideal for home working or occasional bedroom use. <br/><br/>A beautifully appointed family bathroom completes this floor.<br/><br/>The second floor provides three further bedrooms, one with an en suite shower room, all served by period sash windows and benefitting from built-in storage.<br/><br/>Outside, the property is approached via a traditional steel gate from College Street, opening onto a gravelled entrance courtyard providing parking. Mature hedging, yew trees and an established wisteria enhance the classical double fronted façade with its stone dressed portico.<br/><br/>A side gate leads to a formal courtyard garden, arranged with box hedging, gravel and York stone paving, and historically forming part of a covered driveway. Beyond lies a traditional brick potting shed, offering excellent potential as a home office or garden room, subject to the necessary consents.<br/><br/>The main gardens are beautifully structured, with box hedge parterres, flagged terraces, water feature and orchard-style lawn areas, providing a series of secluded seating spaces with a high degree of privacy.
