Loughborough Road, Bunny, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, NG11 6QS

Fairholme House is a remarkable contemporary home in the village of Bunny, completed in 2022 and conceived very much in the spirit of a grand design.

A striking glass-fronted new build sits alongside a sympathetically converted range of brick and pantile barns, the two joined to create some 7,322 sq ft of accommodation, with a further 2,082 sq ft of outbuildings providing stabling, garaging and a gymnasium.

The whole sits within around 2.6 acres, with the house and its landscaped gardens facing due west and a paddock running down to Fairham Brook beyond.

For a house of this scale, it is remarkably efficient to run, with an EPC rating of 73 and a potential of 74 that is impressive for a home of this square footage.

An air source heat pump powers underfloor heating throughout, solar panels sit on the flat roof, and air conditioning serves the main living space, the master bedroom and the staircase.

The specification is uncompromising throughout: a Lutron smart lighting system, a Sonos music system, CCTV, bespoke internal doors, and a bio-ethanol fireplace as a focal point to the living space.

The house is entered through a reception hall, off which a generous study of almost 18 ft makes an ideal home office, with a cloakroom and WC alongside.

The showpiece is the lounge, kitchen and dining room, a single space of 62 ft by 31 ft with a wall of full-height glazing opening onto the terrace, so that garden and interior read as one.

The kitchen is centred on a vast marble-topped island and is fitted with Fisher & Paykel appliances including two ovens, a steam oven and a microwave, a Quooker boiling-water tap and two dishwashers.

Beyond, a lobby leads through to the converted barn wing, where the family rooms are grouped together: a garden room, a 21 ft playroom and a near-30 ft cinema room with a dedicated plant room, together with a ground-floor fifth bedroom with its own shower room, well suited to guests or an au pair.

Upstairs, the master suite occupies the entire first floor of the new build.

The bedroom itself measures almost 33 ft by 22 ft, with floor-to-ceiling glazing and sliding doors onto a 45 ft balcony overlooking the gardens and open fields beyond.

It is served by two walk-in dressing rooms, an en-suite shower room and a separate bathroom of 14 ft, finished with Gessi taps and a Gessi vanity.

The barn wing holds three further double bedrooms, each with vaulted ceilings and exposed beams: two have their own dressing rooms and a shower room or bathroom respectively, and the third has an en-suite.

A first-floor laundry completes this floor.

Outside, the gardens have been landscaped for entertaining, with a sunken courtyard garden planted with a mature olive tree, an outdoor kitchen, a swim spa and a hot tub, and a lawned area.

A gravelled yard leads to the black-boarded stable block with two loose boxes, a tack room and a hay store, with the paddock beyond, and the garaging currently houses two cars with scope for four.

Bunny is a small and historic south Nottinghamshire village, best known for Bunny Hall, the extraordinary Grade II* listed seat of Sir Thomas Parkyns, the “Wrestling Baronet”, and for the ancient woodland of Bunny Old Wood nature reserve on its doorstep.

The village has its own primary school, church, village hall and the Rancliffe Arms a short walk away, with open countryside in every direction.

Despite its rural feel it is exceptionally well connected: Ruddington and its shops and country park are a couple of miles up the road, West Bridgford and Nottingham city centre are within easy reach, and the A453, M1 and East Midlands Parkway station are all a short drive away.
