A Rare Opportunity to Rent Something Truly Special

Tucked within the historic and exclusive grounds of Nettleworth Manor, The Smithy is a beautifully detached stone barn conversion that offers something the rental market in this area almost never delivers genuine character, outstanding energy efficiency, and complete rural privacy, all within easy reach of major employment centres.

Originally part of the Manors working farm buildings, this thoughtfully converted home blends period charm with a contemporary specification that has been finished and maintained to an exceptional standard. The setting alone sets it apart: a peaceful, gated estate shared with a small number of private homes, surrounded by open Nottinghamshire countryside, yet only minutes from the A60 and within comfortable commuting distance of Mansfield, Worksop, Chesterfield, Nottingham and the M1.

Inside, the entrance hall opens into a generously proportioned lounge where French doors lead directly onto a private courtyard an ideal space for relaxing or entertaining through the warmer months. Underfloor heating throughout the ground floor provides quiet, efficient warmth in every season. The contemporary breakfast kitchen is fitted with integrated appliances and offers generous storage.

The ground floor is completed by a fully tiled contemporary shower room. Upstairs, two bright and spacious bedrooms are served by a convenient separate WC.

The property carries an exceptional EPC A rating of 97 one of the highest achievable and exceptionally rare in a rural conversion of this character meaning energy bills are significantly lower than comparable homes and comfort is high year-round.

Outside, a private block-paved driveway provides parking for two vehicles together with a dedicated EV charging point a feature that remains scarce across the local rental market.

The Smithy is ideally suited to a professional individual or couple who value peace, quality and a genuinely special place to come home to.

Council Tax Band D. Unfurnished. Available September 2026.

Please note: the property is served by a Klargester bio-disc treatment system rather than mains drainage. This is standard for rural properties of this type and operates quietly and effectively. Full details available on request.
