Until 2014, it had been owned for 12 years by two professors, Struther and Greta Arnott, who literally picked it out from an advert in the Financial Times and had never been to Bawtry before.

It is a three-storey house constructed in red brick with Flemish bond. It has been restored and modernised, with the cellars converted for wine storage.

The master suite has an en-suite shower room, dressing room, nursery and home gym. There is a drawing room, dining room and study.
