House For Sale £975,000
A rather special Victorian bay-fronted house with a double garage and a south-facing garden. The property enjoys a cul-de-sac position in the heart of De Freville, a short walk from the river and Midsummer Common.
This stunning period home dates back to the late 1890s and has been in ownership by the same family for over 40 years. The property was extended in the 1990s to incorporate a ground-floor shower room, sunroom, and a generous kitchen. In 2011 the owners completely renovated the cottage and it has been finished to a meticulous standard throughout. There is a ring alarm and the majority of the switches and lights are automated.
The property is entered via a solid timber door with a fanlight over, leading to an entrance hall with stairs to the first floor and retaining decorative archway and corbels. The former bay-fronted sitting room now serves as a dining area and has a feature gas fireplace, contrasted by an attractive surround. Both of the main reception rooms also include bespoke fitted cupboards and shelving. The living room benefits from southerly aspects and has a wood-burning stove. Adjoining the living area is a large kitchen which is underfloor heated and fitted with a comprehensive range of base and eye-level units. Integrated appliances include an oven and 5-ring gas hob with extractor over. A side door leads through to a glazed boot room with additional units and a door to the private rear garden. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a refitted shower room and a delightful sunroom with 2 Velux windows and French doors to the garden.
Upstairs are 3 double bedrooms, beds 1 and 2 include built-in cupboards. Bedroom 2 also has a wash hand basin. The main bathroom has been fitted with a modern white suite, complemented by attractive tiling and a heated towel rail. There is a useful loft room located on the second-floor which has served as an arts and crafts room, offering exciting scope for conversion, subject to the necessary consents.
Outside the property is set back behind a walled front garden, which is predominantly paved for ease of maintenance and serves as a neat storage area for bins and bikes. The south-facing rear garden has been exceptionally well cared for and is a peaceful oasis, bordered with a variety of mature shrubs and stocked flowerbeds. There is an artificial turfed lawn, centrally positioned between 2 paved terraces, very well suited to alfresco dining. There is also a raised vegetable patch located at the foot of the garden and a personal door leading to a double garage, equipped with both power and lighting. Permit parking is available on Humberstone Road and immediate areas, as well as pay and display.
Location - Humberstone Road is situated just to the north of the river in a highly regarded residential area near Midsummer Common. There is local shopping at Mitchams Corner with primary schooling at Milton Road and a number of excellent independent schools within easy reach. The City centre can be approached on foot or bicycle by Midsummer Common and Jesus Green.
