We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
No upward chain A wonderful opportunity to acquire a charming four bedroom semi-detached Victorian family home, sympathetically modernised over the years to retain plentiful period features.
Beautifully arranged over three storeys, the deceptively spacious ground floor living accommodation briefly comprises an entrance hall, cosy lounge with open fireplace, characterful dining room, understairs cloak cupboard, cleverly transformed into a little home office, and a modern country-style kitchen.
To the first floor are three beautifully presented bedrooms, one enjoying en suite facilities, a traditional yet contemporary family bathroom, and a separate WC.
The second floor showcases a sizeable principal bedroom, boasting an en suite and ample eaves storage, creatively adapted to provide additional wardrobe space.
Further accommodation lies in a detached outbuilding, currently utilised as a utility room and handy outdoor WC, offering excellent potential for conversion- subject to the necessary planning consents.
Outside, framed by brick walls for added privacy, resides a private driveway catering for two vehicles or a courtyard garden, dependent on the buyer’s preference, alongside a southerly aspect veranda.
Idyllically located just moments away from Chesterfield Canal and recreational grounds, with scenic tow path routes in every direction, this period property lends itself to those who love the outdoors, whilst benefitting from close proximity to Retford’s wealth of everyday conveniences, dining options, schools for all ages, and weekly markets on the town square.
Grove Lane is well within the catchment area for the highly regarded Bracken Lane Academy, just a short drive away.
Ideal for buyers seeking both character and comfort, this beautifully presented family home is best appreciated in person.
Early viewing is considered essential to fully appreciate the unique accommodation and quiet yet central town setting being offered for sale. Please call the office today to arrange a viewing.
