Colston Bassett – Angel Cottage

SUMMARY

ANGEL COTTAGE
There is a serene and charming quality to Angel Cottage, and the super insulated floors and ceilings serve to create acoustically balanced airtight spaces where noise does not travel complemented by a high standard of thermal wall insulation, with a Knauff Thermoshell system specially designed for the solid wall structure of period buildings.

In keeping with 21st Century sustainability principles Angel Cottage is heated by a full renewable energy biomass boiler heating system, circulating underfloor with independent manifolds and room by room thermostatic control, ensuring a pleasing and comfortable living environment. It was also rewired as part of the restoration programme and there are two main circuit boards. A high-tech Smart light electrical lighting system is installed with a full cat VI network cabling infrastructure throughout linked to a data hub in the utility room and satellite cabling is in situ for future use.

COLSTON BASSETT
Colston Bassett is without question one of the County's pre-eminent Conservation 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 convenient access to Nottinghamshire schooling across the age ranges alongside the Lincolnshire grammar schools. The village has an ancient church and there are numerous picturesque local walks available in the surrounding Vale of Belvoir countryside.

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.

Swift London Commuting
A direct main line rail service from Grantham into London Kings Cross ensures a swift commuting option for London and both the south and north of England.
