House For Sale £280,000
We love the wealth of original features and versatile room layout of this substantial family home. Located close to parks and good transport links, it has off-road parking, easy-maintenance gardens and has a lovely feel.
On the ground floor are a spacious lounge, kitchen, dining room, snug/ground floor bedroom, utility/WC (which would make a great ground floor bathroom) and home office/gym. On the first floor are two double bedrooms - one with a huge en-suite - plus one single bedroom and the family bathroom. A staircase leads up to the large loft room which is also suitable for multiple uses. Outside, there is an enclosed south-facing courtyard garden and cute rear garden packed with flowering plants and a silver birch tree. The extremely useful off-road parking space is a huge bonus too.
Littleover Lane is a highly popular location, close to several parks, the Moorways Sports Village, allotments and with fast easy access onto the ring road and south to the countryside beyond Stenson Fields. The city centre is a short drive or bus ride away too.
Front Of The Home - This home is named Brunton House and is a traditional brick-built semi-detached home with tiled roof.

Immediately to the front is a low brick wall with decorative iron railings above and an iron gate leading to the front door, with a raised planted flower bed to the left. The small tarmac area in front of the bay window of the lounge is a nice spot for pot plants and seating.
There is a flavour of the style inside with the decorative stone arch over the front door, whilst the cheeky cherubs cast within the stonework will raise a smile! Enter the home through the part-glazed composite front door, which has a chrome letterbox and handle.
