Here is a unique opportunity to acquire a fantastic property; one located in a historic rural setting in a conservation area, enjoying all the benefits of country living yet close enough to easily access all the delights of surrounding Towns and Cities. This large stone cottage, which sits proudly in an elevated plot in the picturesque rural setting of Laughton en-le Morthen demands immediate viewing. A deceptively spacious property which has bags of rustic, yet contemporary appeal with a number of features, such as exposed beams and large stone hearth. Ideally suited for family living, the property works equally well for professional people, and offers fantastic living accommodation to meet the needs of modern living. Being neutrally decorated throughout, the property offers the buyer opportunities to add their unique touch. Whether it's for quiet family meals or larger dinner parties, the size of this property is flexible enough to accommodate your needs. Set over two floors, this property simply has to be viewed to appreciate the sheer size and appeal of living accommodation on offer. Briefly, the property benefits from double glazing throughout, gas fired centrally powered underfloor heating, large welcoming entrance hall, sizeable living room with large stone hearth giving central focus; immense kitchen/diner/family room, and utility room. To the first floor there are 4 double bedrooms - the master with ensuite, and family bathroom. Externally the block paved driveway ascends to reveal the full extent of the property, with areas ripe for further landscaping, graveled parking area for 5 cars and block paved path leading to the entrance doors and 'flagged' patio.

It is often said that 'location is everything' and this property certainly supports that assertion. Situated in this truly historic rural setting of Laughton en-le Morthen with its quaint Church, dating back to Saxon Times and the Primary School to the Elizabethan era it offers the tranquility of village living and particularly suited to those for whom the great outdoors offers upliftment. The property is ideally situated for enjoying great family fun and entertainment. Living here puts the lucky buyer on the doorstep of one of the major attractions in North Anston such as the highly popular Tropical Butterfly House, Wildlife and Falconry Centre which attracts over 80,000 visitors a year. For a bit of culture and local history, within a few minutes' walk, is the delightful ruins of Roche Abbey, the 18th Century Cistercian Monastery, perfect for a picnic by the stream all nestled in a lush valley and the 740 acre Rother Valley Country Park caters for a wide variety of leisure activities including an 18 hole golf course, cycle routes and water sports facilities. Needing a quiet meal but don't fancy cooking? That is a doddle as there are a range of eateries and coffee shops to meet most tastes in nearby Dinnington. With further developments in nearby Kiveton, such as the £35 million 240-acre Gulliver's Valley Theme Park currently under construction, there is no doubt that any discerning buyer will appreciate the benefits of living here.

This area is a well kept secret, ideal for anyone needing to commute to the local area and it is a superb alternative if you don't fancy City living. The A57 (Worksop Road) and M1 motorway are only a short drive away giving great access to the Sheffield and Rotherham centres. If you need to travel further afield to other parts of South Yorkshire, such as Doncaster, then the M18 and A1 are also reasonably close by. The property also benefits from excellent public transport links as it is situated on the main Rother Valley bus route and close to the two train stations at Kiveton Park.

There is no doubting this property would suit a family and obviously education is of the utmost importance and the location does not disappoint as it is situated within easy reach of well regarded schools, such as Laughton Junior and Anston Brook Primary schools, both rated 'Good', Anston Hillcrest and Wickersley Schools both rated ‘Outstanding' in Ofsted Reports
