Broughton House, Top Green, Upper Broughton

Full Description

Upon entering, the grand reception hallway immediately showcases the quality and elegance of this period home. The ground floor boasts three formal reception rooms, including an impressively proportioned drawing room, a cozy sitting room, and a formal dining room, all with working fireplaces and period details. The heart of the home is the farmhouse-style kitchen, equipped with hand-crafted units by Messrs Martin Moore & Co, granite worktops, integrated appliances, and a two-oven gas AGA with an electric module. Practical elements on this level include a guest cloakroom, a boot room, and access to the cellars.

An original panelled staircase leads to the first floor, where a central landing with a heavily beamed ceiling guides you to two charming bedrooms, each with en suite bathrooms (one unfinished). Continuing upwards, the dedicated principal bedroom suite is a highlight, featuring a curved bay window overlooking the rear garden, extensive dressing room storage, and a luxurious en suite shower room.

The second floor, accessible via a traditional staircase, houses three additional double bedrooms that share a high-quality family bathroom. This floor also includes a fully fitted home office, which can be converted into a seventh bedroom if needed.

The property’s exterior is equally impressive. The front features well-maintained split-level gardens, primarily laid to lawn with herbaceous borders and a post and chain fence. The driveway leads to a coach house-style double garage with electric doors, which also grants access to a boiler room/laundry room. The rear of the property offers mature south-facing gardens, partially enclosed by walls, with an extensive York stone terrace and various seating areas that enjoy sunlight throughout the day, ideal for outdoor entertaining. Additional features include a brick-built garden store and a log storage area.

Located in Upper Broughton, a quaint rural conservation area on the edge of the Vale of Belvoir, the property benefits from close proximity to amenities and high-quality schools. The village fosters a strong sense of community with annual events, the award-winning pub “The Tap & Run”, and various sporting clubs, including tennis and cricket. Upper Broughton is conveniently situated near the A46 dual carriageway, providing direct access to regional commercial and retail centres. Additionally, it offers excellent rail connections to London and is within easy reach of Nottingham East Midlands Airport.
