Upstairs, all the bedrooms feature their own stylish contemporary ensuite bathrooms, ideal for hosting overnight guests. Meanwhile, the principal bedroom enjoys a private dressing room and a balcony overlooking the garden.

Sellers insights Art House is a contemporary home in a traditional rural setting. When we moved in, we redesigned and converted the property with the help of a well-known Canadian architect. We wanted to create light and open spaces that would be easy to maintain. Every inch has been designed to maximise both space and flow. We've incorporated unusual architectural details in the design – like the Moroccan-style doors and the spiral staircase – to give the house a distinctive look and feel. The open-plan living space and kitchen are perfect for entertaining and family gatherings. There's also a lovely, more traditional sitting room. The mezzanine space, which overlooks the ground floor, is incredibly light and versatile. I've used it as a study, but it would work equally well as a reading nook, a studio, or a creative retreat. The different living areas allow everyone to enjoy their own space. All the bedrooms come with individual ensuite bathrooms, which is ideal when friends or family come to stay – no queues for the shower here! The garden is wonderfully quiet. There are several seating areas outside, perfect whether you're enjoying a morning coffee, dining al fresco with friends or having an impromptu BBQ. With the bi-fold doors on either side of the house, there's a lovely indoor-outdoor flow. When our grandchildren visit, they absolutely love running freely inside and outside the house. The garden is low maintenance too, ideal for a robot lawnmower! The stable block offers a huge amount of development potential. Subject to planning, it could easily be transformed into a home office, gym, creative studio, workshop, or even a guest annexe or Airbnb. It's a fantastic blank canvas. We love the peace and privacy here. The house is surrounded by mature trees and scenic countryside. There are some lovely riverside walks nearby where you can spot all kinds of wildlife, and fantastic places to visit locally, including Sherwood Forest. The area is steeped in history. Newark Castle is just a short drive away and Lincoln is a little further afield. We've thoroughly enjoyed living in Sutton-on-Trent. The village is home to people of all ages. Despite its rural character, Sutton is incredibly well-connected. You can catch direct trains from Newark to London, Peterborough, Leeds and other major cities. So, you get the best of town and country in this area.
