The Grade II listed former home of Lord Byron has gone on the market for £850,000 – and it comes with a network of caves lurking beneath it.
With a plaque on the front of the home dedicated to the poet, explaining that he lived there in 1798 and 1799, the centrally-located property is hard to miss.
Boasting four bedrooms spread across 3,287sq ft of space, the Nottingham residence is steeped in local history.

The building has been “sympathetically restored” since Byron’s days there, with all the modern amenities a family could need – including a bespoke kitchen, two reception rooms, and four bathrooms.
Flooded with natural light, the home is decorated in neutral tones with stylish finishes throughout, as reported by Luxury Property News.
Accessed via a driveway with gated access, it is based on the historic St James’ Street in the city centre.
But underneath, the house is every bit as note-worthy, with an array of caves beneath the property.
Used as cellars, the space has lighting and electrics, as well as heating – meaning it can be used for multiple purposes.
Meanwhile the outside space of the home consists of a courtyard with patio decking and raised planters for a “low maintenance” garden space.
The property was home to Lord Byron when he was a child, between the ages of 10 and 12, long before he became the famous poet history now remembers him as.
Regarded as being among the greatest British poets, Byron is one of the major figures of the romantic movement – with popular works including Don Juan, Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage, and Hebrew Melodies.
The house is currently available with Savills who described it as a “magnificent property full of light”.
