Oakley Drive, Long Whatton

General Description

Smiths Property Experts offer to the market this beautifully extended and renovated family home in the heart of Long Whatton. The property occupies impressive grounds with a private gravel driveway to the front, and landscaped private south-west facing gardens to the rear.

The property is presented in ‘turnkey’ condition and features a fantastic layout comprising four double bedrooms, two bathrooms, and three reception rooms, including a kitchen/diner leading onto the rear gardens. The property must be seen to be fully appreciated, and in our opinion, it is an excellent example of a village home.

The Property

The property has been thoughtfully extended and beautifully finished, with living accommodation providing gas central heating and double-glazing throughout. Laid across two floors, expect to find a floor area measuring approximately 1,738 square feet, including the attached garage/workshop store.

A stylish entrance hall with stairs to the first floor leads to a bay-fronted sitting room with a wood-burning stove, a dining room, and a lovely shaker-style kitchen/diner. Both the kitchen and dining room have French doors that lead onto a large sun-filled terrace to the rear. There is a useful utility room with a stable door to the outside, and a separate WC. Upstairs, a central landing leads to four good-sized double bedrooms, each of which can take a double bed, and an immaculate family bathroom. Of note is the main bedroom suite with built-in wardrobes and a separate en-suite, and the fourth bedroom with a mezzanine area.

The Outside

Situated in a peaceful residential cul-de-sac, the property is set back from the street and behind a gated gravel-laid drive. There is a useful attached garage/workshop store to the left-hand side, as well as access to the rear.

The wonderful rear garden is south-west facing, with a private aspect and a beautiful green outlook. A spacious sun-filled seating terrace wraps around the back of the house, and there are manicured lawns with planted borders and closed board fencing. There is a modern insulated summer house with power and lighting to the rear left corner, two substantial shed stores, and a brick outbuilding.

The Location

The property occupies an enviable position in the highly regarded village of Long Whatton, with excellent local amenities and rolling countryside on the doorstep. The village is well positioned for access North and South via the M1 Motorway. East Midlands Airport is just 3 miles by car, and there is easy access to Nottingham, Derby, and Loughborough. There is a good choice of local schools, and the village boasts two well-thought-of public houses (The Royal Oak and The Falcon Inn) and a local shop.
