Description
Offering exceptional potential for enhancement (subject to the necessary planning consents) and no onward chain, this substantial family home provides an exciting opportunity for buyers seeking to create a truly bespoke residence. Externally, the property is equally impressive, benefitting from extensive off-road parking, a detached double garage with up-and-over door, power and lighting, a brick-built outbuilding, outside WC, and mature, well-maintained gardens that envelop the home with established shrubbery and seasonal planting.
Internally, the accommodation is both spacious and inviting. An entrance porch leads into a grand inner hallway, where the original Minton flooring and impressive ceiling height immediately set the tone. A cleverly concealed understairs WC adds modern convenience. To the left, a generously proportioned lounge features a charming bay window and focal fireplace, while to the right, a formal dining room boasts a delightful seated bay window overlooking the gardens. To the rear, an open-plan dining kitchen offers an array of fitted units and ample worktop space, seamlessly connecting to a bright conservatory, which provides a tranquil seating area with garden views. The first floor continues to impress with its high ceilings and retained period details. Two particularly spacious double bedrooms feature character fireplaces and built-in wardrobes, complemented by two further well-proportioned bedrooms, also with integrated storage. A sizeable bathroom includes a separate shower area, with an additional separate WC enhancing practicality for family living.
Externally, approached via a sweeping gravel driveway, the property enjoys a sense of arrival and privacy, with ample parking for multiple vehicles. The surrounding gardens provide a peaceful and established setting, ideal for both relaxation and entertaining.
Ideally positioned close to Melbourne’s vibrant town centre, Rotherwood House benefits from easy access to a wide range of local shops, amenities and excellent transport links, including the A50 connecting Derby and Nottingham. The nearby Staunton Harold Reservoir further enhances the appeal, offering beautiful countryside walks and leisure opportunities.
A home of immense charm, space and potential, Rotherwood House must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
