SQUIRREL’S LEAP
The sale of Squirrel’s Leap represents a rare opportunity to acquire an intriguing five-bedroom detached bungalow with a remarkable westerly open aspect, set in wonderful mature grounds of c1.00 Acres/0.40 hectares in the much coveted and sought after Hall Grounds setting of Colston Bassett.
The property has been in the ownership of the family since it was built in 1968 and will be of interest to a range of potential buyers seeking a large-scale property on a beautiful plot with far reaching westerly views.
Interestingly, within the near vicinity of Squirrel’s Leap several ‘grand design’ residential redevelopment projects have been completed over recent years, and subject to Statutory planning and Building Regulation considerations, the setting and land area would seem to be perfect for an imaginative redevelopment of the property
COLSTON BASSETT
Colston Bassett is without question one of the County's pre-eminent villages being protected by a Conservation Area designation, set in the unspoilt picturesque countryside of the Vale of Belvoir, having useful amenities close to hand in the neighbouring market towns of Bingham and Melton Mowbray, with relatively direct road access into the main regional centres of Nottingham, Leicester, Newark on Trent and Grantham.
The thriving centre of West Bridgford, home of the famous Trent Bridge Cricket Ground, offers superb retail, social and leisure opportunities as well as a wide range of activities and professional services, and Radcliffe on Trent, a larger village to the west of Colston Bassett offers excellent amenities and a highly rated golf club.
There is wonderful village inn, The Martins Arms, which is a focal point for the village. On the village outskirts, in the lee of the ancient ruins of a Norman church, St Marys, there is an active cricket club, croquet club and a bowls facility for a more sedate sporting pastime. There is a village hall for hosting events and gatherings, a small independent preparatory school on School Lane itself and famously Colston Bassett is of course synonymous with Stilton cheese.
