4 bedroom detached house for sale

A superb, three/four-bedroomed detached residence, enjoying mature and landscaped gardens of over 1/3 acre, in a little-known yet desirable setting off Burton Road, close to Littleover village centre. Requiring internal inspection, the highly adaptable and tastefully appointed interior has the benefit of gas central heating, extensive double glazing, and security alarm, briefly comprises: -
GROUND FLOOR, Entrance Porch, Reception Hall, generous Lounge, separate Dining Room/Bedroom Four, Oak fitted Kitchen, Utility Room, Rear Hall, and modern Bathroom. FIRST FLOOR, landing, Three Double Bedrooms, and modern Shower Room. OUTSIDE, large integral Garage with Garden Store/Shed under, and superb, mature and landscaped grounds.

The Property

From the frontage of Louvain Road, the property appears to be a bungalow, of an attractive double-fronted, and bay-windowed bungalow design, but has been the subject of much sympathetic extension and refurbishment in recent years, to include the incorporation of Three Double Bedrooms and Shower Room at first floor level, together with a large integral Garage. To the ground floor, an impressive Reception Hall leads to the Lounge with views over the rear garden, a separate Dining Room or potential double bedroom four, fitted Oak Kitchen, Utility Room, and ground floor modern Bathroom. The property benefits from luxury sanitary ware to both the Bathroom and Shower Room, yet also has the retention of many character features such as the original bay windows to the front, all of which are further complimented by the extensive grounds of over one-third of an acre, which are landscaped and include a private rear garden.
There is potential for incorporation of dependent relative accommodation, if so required, with a ground floor bedroom or reception room, the utility room converted to a kitchen, and with a separate staircase to the first floor to a double bedroom or lounge.
In all, an excellent and rare opportunity for the discerning purchaser to acquire a highly adaptable, yet spacious, tastefully appointed Home, which can only be fully appreciated by internal inspection.

Note To Purchasers

From the frontage to Louvain Road, from a casual external glance of the front elevation, the property appears to be a bungalow, which belies the actual size of the interior accommodation, which also enjoys superb views over Derby to Alport Heights beyond.
