House For Sale £395,000
A unique opportunity to purchase a period three bedroom detached cottage sympathetically modernised and improved, full of charm and character. Private gardens, gated off-street parking, two reception rooms. Must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
We have great pleasure in offering for sale this period three bedroom detached cottage.
Dating back at least 200 years and possibly up to 300 years old and believed to be once a bakery. Over the last 20 years the current custodians have sympathetically modernised and improved this property which offers a wealth of charm and character. With many original features, including beams to many of the rooms, period fireplaces and pitched pine latched internal doors. Where features have been lost, the owners have fashioned fixtures and fittings to retain the character.
As soon as you open the front door you know you are entering something special. Greeted by a central dog-leg staircase which leads to the first floor landing and also access from the hallway to the sitting room and farmhouse kitchen. Beyond the sitting room, the rear reception room is currently used as a library with shelving and archway to a small nook. An inner hallway connects this room to a shower room/WC and to the farmhouse kitchen. There is a useful sun lounge with utility closet.
Rising to the first floor, the landing provides access to the two principal double bedrooms, both with connecting doors to a dressing room which also gives access to bedroom three and the large family bathroom with period features, separate shower and slipper bath. The property is centrally heated and majority double glazed.
Located on a corner position, screened from the road with walled-in gardens. There is gated off-street parking and a carport, and two useful workshop/store areas.
Conveniently situated close to the town centre and within walking distance of many local amenities, including schools for all ages, regular bus service, health centre, Aldi and the shops within the town centre itself. For those wishing to commute, as the street name suggests the property sits on the old Nottingham Road linking Nottingham and Derby which is made easier by being close to the A52 and also great for Beeston, Nottingham University, qmc and not too far from Junction 25 of the M1 motorway.
The owners of this property are now looking to downsize and are look forward to welcoming a new family to be the next custodians of this unique period cottage.
