Description

This expansive detached Victorian villa, built in 1898, offers an impressive opportunity for renovation and investment. With a generous 3,300 square feet of living space, this five-bedroom family home boasts four reception rooms and an extensive basement, ripe for transformation. The extended kitchen/breakfast area features a remarkable vaulted ceiling and opens directly to a private walled garden that includes a sunken heated swimming pool. Original architectural details enhance the property's character, including leaded light windows, high corniced ceilings, and a distinctive mosaic tiled floor. The spacious drawing and reception rooms offer flexible layouts ideal for modern living. Notably, this property’s potential extends to the basement which could be developed into additional living space or recreational areas. The exterior provides ample off-road parking and a detached double garage with access from the rear service road, adding convenience for future enhancements or conversions. Given the charm of this period property combined with its substantial footprint and location within East Midlands, there is considerable potential to create a bespoke family residence that respects its heritage while catering to contemporary needs. This is an ideal project for savvy investors looking to add value through thoughtful renovations.
