Hill Top, Orston

An excellent opportunity to acquire a modern detached family orientated home which has undergone a significant level of refurbishment and modernisation and is situated on a delightful established plot with westerly views across the Trent Valley towards Nottingham in the distance and a garden that thrives in the afternoon and evening sunshine - perfect for those who enjoy al fresco dining during those balmy summer evenings. The conversion of one of the original garages has helped to create the ideal open plan dining / living kitchen that everyone is looking for, or a separate snug area / home office... as well as the remaining car port providing ample storage space.

The property is set back from the main road on Hill Top; a small cul-de-sac service road. The position, the setting and the plot are magnificent and result in elevated and wonderful views across neighbouring properties that change with the seasons.

There isn't a small bedroom to the first floor... just four good size bedrooms with the master benefitting from en-suite shower facilities. The property is neutrally decorated throughout, benefits from gas central heating and double glazing.... ready to walk into, put your furniture down and do nothing!
