This beautifully appointed period home is a hidden gem situated within an extensive walled garden and blending timeless character with elegant modern updates.

Thoughtfully extended and impeccably presented throughout this property boasts a number of exquisite living spaces across three floors. It enjoys an enviable position with private gardens to the front and views towards a cricket pitch at the rear and is conveniently situated close to all the amenities that West Bridgford offers.

The property is entered via a stylish period-style glass vestibule, complete with built-in storage and classic black-and-white chequered flooring. This opens into a grand entrance hall featuring parquet wood flooring, original archway detailing, ornate ceiling coving, and picture rails. Painted pitch pine doors lead to the main reception rooms, with a staircase rising gracefully to the upper floors.

Reception Room One is a beautifully proportioned formal lounge with a bay window to the front elevation, fitted with bespoke wooden double-glazed sash replacements and elegant shutters.. A striking original marble fireplace with granite hearth and cast-iron log burner creates a dramatic focal point, enhanced by detailed ceiling coving, a ceiling rose, and original picture rails.

Reception Room Two, equally impressive, enjoys further views to the front via double-glazed sash windows with shutters. A handsome original slate-painted fireplace houses a gas-fired cast iron burner upon a stone hearth, flanked by bespoke fitted shelving and cabinetry. The room is further enhanced by intricate ceiling coving, a decorative rose, and soft ambient lighting.

The third reception room-currently used as a study-features parquet flooring, fitted bookcases, and French doors with side panels opening out to a private side patio. A large double-glazed window offers serene views over the cricket pitch, complemented by picture rails, coving, and a ceiling rose.

A stylish cloakroom with a two-piece white suite and spotlighting continues the wooden flooring from the hallway, with additional space for coat storage and a useful understairs cupboard.

The dining kitchen is an exceptional space-bright, airy, and beautifully designed. A vaulted ceiling with Velux windows and French doors to the side garden floods the space with natural light. A high-spec range of painted wooden cabinetry is topped with luxurious quartz work surfaces, incorporating a sink beneath twin double-glazed windows framing views across the garden. There is ample space for a range cooker and extractor, and the room is completed by a fully tiled floor and a delightful triple-aspect layout.
A separate utility room continues the quality finishes, with matching base units, quartz worktops, plumbing for appliances, and a door with window to the side elevation.

A half landing features a window to the rear, drawing in light and leading to a generous family bathroom with walk-in shower, wall-mounted boiler, and views to the rear. From the main landing, original painted doors open to four well-proportioned bedrooms, each with high ceilings, picture rails, and replacement wooden sash windows, all exuding character and charm.

A staircase leads to the second floor where a feature Velux window provides views to the rear. The principal suite is truly impressive-flooded with natural light via further Velux windows to the front and rear, offering elevated views over the cricket pitch. The suite leads into a bespoke dressing area, fitted with an extensive range of wardrobes and storage solutions, and continues to a luxurious four-piece en suite bathroom. A large window frames picturesque views over the cricket pitch, with contemporary fixtures, underfloor heating, ceramic tiled flooring, and full-height tiled walls completing this indulgent space.

Set behind an attractive stone wall with a central gated entrance, this impressive property offers a Yorkstone driveway to the side, providing parking for multiple vehicles and access to a detached garage. The front garden enjoys mature trees for privacy, well-stocked borders, and lawned areas connected by a Yorkstone path leading to the front door. Gated access on both sides leads to the rear garden.

The beautifully landscaped gardens wrap around the property and are accessible from the dining kitchen via French doors onto a raised deck. The rear garden is a private haven, with gravel pathways, patio seating areas, wood-chipped beds, and mature planting. It enjoys serene views over the neighbouring cricket ground - the perfect setting for summer relaxation.

A charming original outbuilding, formerly an apple store, sits in the far corner with a patio and views of the cricket pitch. With stone flooring, skylight, stained glass, and a large picture window, it offers an ideal space for a garden retreat or home office.

The detached garage includes a side door, window, up-and-over front door, and an inspection pit, plus a rear link to a storage/wood store. Planning permission has been granted to demolish the garage and replace it with a contemporary, architecturally designed, 3 bedroomed house. (Ref: 22/01545/FUL - see Rushcliffe Borough Council Planning Portal for details). Permission was also granted for a replacement garage.
