Rosehip Period Cottage, Bingham, Nottingham

Beautifully situated in a quiet residential cul-de-sac, Rosehip cottage sits amongst other period homes with a village outlook. It is only a three minute walk to the centre of Bingham with all kinds of shops, market, and public transport plus the added bonus of a brand new gym/swimming pool 15 minutes walk. Parking outside the house, is available and free although popular. The space My little cottage is 200 years old and would have once been the gardeners cottage, although sadly, as a result, no garden of its own. However, there is a sunny terrace in the front to sit out. It is therefore full of character but SMALL with low doors and oak beamed ceilings. The photographer's wide angle lense can be deceptive. It is one of the original '2 up, 2 downs' from around early 1800's and in recent years was extended and a staircase with small toilet/shower room added. It has been decorated and furnished in keeping with an olde worlde period complete with some antique furniture and knick knacks so is not suitable for very young children. You do actually sense the history in the ambiance. The kitchen is big enough for 4 to eat round the table and the living room cosy with some antique chairs. Set in a little no-thru road literally just off the main centre and market square of Bingham. It is quiet but a great base for the local shops and easy access to Nottingham. Fine for 4 people (max )if not to tall!! It is not suitable for children under the age of 5 years due to the danger of small antique knick knacks and the step into the shower. On foot, the centre of Bingham is just a few minutes walk with all facilities including a library and doctor's surgery. There are supermarkets (late opening), hairdressers, florists, post office, bakers and butchers and many restaurants and of course superb Fish and Chips! Thursdays there is a market in the square and there is a brand new Leisure centre 15 mins walk. Bingham is rurally situated amongst fields and small villages. There is free parking outside the cottage but this is not guaranteed. its rarely a problem to find a space as normally only residents use the road but like everywhere else, the town is getting busier. If you arrive on a busy day, there is also free Parking in 'The Banks' which is the road which crosses Fisher Lane at the top. Bingham is a small market town nestling in the countryside but only 20 mins drive to Nottingham or to Newark. The old town of Lincoln can be reached to the North and Leicester to the South with Derby and Grantham not far away. If you wish to stray further afield you could reach the famous cobbled town of York or walk round the stunning architecture of Cambridge. There are many pretty villages around in which to walk or cycle and maybe a pub lunch. How about the cricket at Trentbridge? There are trains to the seaside or maybe you would like the caves in Derbyshire. In Bingham itself the local pubs do good food by big open fireplaces or visit one of the many restaurants. There are many outlying protected areas of natural beauty and bird life. Inside there are two bedrooms and a shower room/wc upstairs. The main bedroom has a King sized bed and the second bedroom, a double bed. Central heating and hot water is of course available at all times. We provide unlimited fast fibre wifi and also the local library (5 minutes away) provides computers/printers free of charge by the hour.
