About The Old Pump House

Kirkby in Ashfield 3.7 miles and 5 miles from Hucknall. The Old Pump House is a charming, unique abode resting in the countryside of Annesley Village, nestling between Kirkby in Ashfield and Hucknall.

With incredible attention to detail, truly breath-taking features, and a delightful contemporary touch, this unusual home is ideal for a group of couples, friends, or a family looking to find a tranquil getaway to Nottinghamshire.

The features of this former Victorian pump house can be enjoyed here, with vaulted cathedral ceilings boasting incredible original pumphouse wooden and metal industrial beams, and on the floor, there is the fantastic feature of a circle of glass, allowing guests to see the well below. When mealtimes call, the kitchen is whitewashed and contemporary, housing integrated appliances to cater to your culinary needs, a dining space at the breakfast bar, and a handy utility.

Indulge in a hearty meal in the dining space below the mezzanine, beside the large and characterful doors, before retiring to the sitting area where there are bifold doors opening onto the garden. On the ground floor you will find the first two of the six large spacious bedrooms, serviced by a sleek separate ground-floor bathroom.

Ascend the stairs, passing the delightful original glazed brick walls and a sitting area on the mezzanine, and here you will find one king-size and three double bedrooms with charming original shaped windows and tasteful décor, two with en-suite shower rooms, and one is a mezzanine room with included sofa bed, and a simply beautiful en-suite free-standing bath.

The Old Pump House Reviews

Patrick
We had a wonderful stay at The Old Pump House thank you so much for having us! Communication with the owner was smooth and easy from the start, which made everything stressfree. The property itself is beautifully maintained, and the highend appliances made cooking and using the kitchen a breeze during our group dinners. We loved the peaceful setting, surrounded by fields, which gave us a great sense of privacy. The hot tub was a perfect touch for relaxing evenings, and there was plenty of space for all our cars. The set of boules provided added a fun and unexpected highlight to our trip! We would absolutely stay here again thank you once again for a lovely experience.
A perfect property for a familygroup gathering. This property offers everything required for a really enjoyable time away. It is well appointed and is finished to a very high spec. Can thoroughly recommend and cant praise it enough. Ive just had the most perfect 70th birthday celebration with family. It helps that Gary the owner is close by to help with any issue too.
Priscilla
We had a lovely weekend stay in the property as a group of girls, it was a wonderful and cosy home with seamless communication from the owner, Gary. Thank you for the welcome bits left in the house by the way! I would easily recommend a stay here.
We had an amazing family gettogether at The Pump House. The house itself is exceptionally clean, spacious, beautifully decorated, and fully furnished. The buildings rich historical background adds a special charm to the experience. We were also fortunate with the weather, which allowed us to enjoy the lovely garden outside. Gary was incredibly helpful and responsive. When we needed handwash in the kitchen and had an issue with one of the window blinds, he came over immediately and sorted everything out efficiently. The propertys location near the train track and the sight of horses grazing in nearby fields made our stay even more memorable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily return! Thank you, Gary and team.

The pictures of this property and description DO NOT do it justice. We are a group of 12 friends who have spent a weekend in a beautiful home. Every thing we needed was there, everything was great quality and there was nothing missing. Space to share together as a group. Or space to have a quiet 10 minutes. I can not reccomend enough.
We have just had a lovely stay at The Old Pump House. The owner, Gary, was very responsive and helpful I emailed about there being a BBQ and he immediately provided us with one despite me having said we'd provide our own. You can tell that no expense has been spared regarding the renovation everything was clean and the fixtures and fittings were lovely and with so many guests some coming for just the Sunday as it was Easter weekend, the ability to cook on the BBQ and also to have the luxury of two ovens...it made life easy! We were fortunate that the weather was good enough on Sunday for us all to be outside and the garden was a delight particularly considering we had a large family gathering with many children all of whom were keen to do our annual Easter Egg hunt, games and races. We had lots of fun and will be looking to book again later in the year. Thanks to Gary and team!

We had a wonderful time. Gary was on hand if we needed anything. The well was definitely an amazing feature. Plenty of spaceequipment and facilities for our group of 12.
