In the heart of Nottinghamshire's picturesque countryside, a historic Georgian home named Papplewick Estate is up for sale. With a rich history dating back to the 16th century, this estate has been the residence of notable figures such as Sir John Byron and Frederick Montagu, a former Lord Treasurer of England.
Originally purchased by Sir John Byron for £810 in 1540, Papplewick was later acquired by Montagu in the 18th century. The grand Papplewick Hall was built in 1787. In the 20th century, the estate was bought by Alderman Albert Ball for the sum of £136,410, equivalent to around £8 million today.
Spanning more than 10 acres, the estate offers ample space for many individuals, making it suitable for a large group or multiple families. The estate includes a tennis court, four cottages, and paddocks, providing a variety of accommodations. The main house, an eight-bedroom property, boasts a magnificent teal living room, a cantilevered spiral staircase with iron balustrades, and pleasing sash windows.
The four cottages on the estate — Bell Cottage, Corner Cottage, Hall Mews, and Stableyeard House — offer additional living spaces. Bell Cottage and Hall Mews have one bedroom each, suitable for smaller families or individuals, while Corner Cottage offers three bedrooms. Stableyeard House, with its six bedrooms, provides accommodations for larger families or groups.
The estate's grounds feature a woodland walk leading to the local church, overshadowed by oaks, ashes, and sycamores. The estate's proximity to South Sherwood Forest is mentioned, although it does not explicitly state its location south of the forest.
