Description

Situated in a mature suburban neighborhood, this extended detached house from the 1930s offers an impressive plot size of approximately 444m², presenting significant potential for renovation and personalization. The property features a practical layout ideal for various buyers, particularly those keen on modernizing to suit their individual preferences over time. Set back from the roadside, the home boasts a generous frontage with ample driveway parking for at least two vehicles, complemented by a detached garage. This setup not only enhances convenience but also lends itself to further parking options if desired. The home's history includes extensions that have added valuable space; notably, a two-storey addition from the 1960s/70s that enhances the entrance area and increases bedroom size. A garden room extension at the rear opens up into the outdoor space, allowing seamless connection to the garden while providing versatile usage options. Upon entry, you are welcomed into an enclosed porch leading to a ground floor WC and then into a traditional entrance hall. The main living area is spacious and flows between what were originally two separate reception rooms, creating a unified space perfect for both relaxation and social gatherings. The living room enjoys abundant natural light courtesy of large front-facing windows and features a cozy gas fireplace. Adjacent to this is the dining area which is well-suited for family meals or entertaining guests, connecting directly to the garden room. The flexible garden room offers an inviting view of the back garden through expansive double-glazed windows. This room serves multiple functions — whether as an additional sitting area or hobby space — and includes its own gas fireplace. There exists potential to further develop this area into annex-style accommodation or enhance it for an open-plan lifestyle under appropriate planning permissions. The kitchen benefits from more recent updates with modern shaker-style units and integrated appliances, including electric ovens and gas hob. A breakfast nook by the window overlooks the rear garden, providing a pleasant dining spot and with an exterior access door enhancing practicality. On the first floor, three well-sized bedrooms await; two doubles featuring fitted wardrobes alongside a third versatile bedroom suited for various uses such as a nursery or home office. The bathroom has been updated recently with modern fittings including a wide shower enclosure. Additionally, there’s a separate WC on this level maintaining functional traditional layouts. The outdoor space is noteworthy with an expansive rear garden measuring approximately 244m² bordered by established greenery providing privacy. The areas allow for different outdoor activities—from lounging on patios to enjoying family-friendly lawn space—complete with a greenhouse positioned towards the back along Thurnby Brook's serene backdrop. Although maintained over time, certain areas could benefit from cosmetic updates allowing future owners to inject their style gradually. Furthermore, investigations regarding internal cracking associated with one extension are ongoing; further insights will be shared once available. This property presents not just a home but also an opportunity for potential investors seeking renovation projects in East Midlands.
