Robert Ellis are pleased to bring to the market this individual detached family home which has the potential for a new owner to stamp their own mark on their next property. Since being originally constructed, the property has been extended at the rear and for the size and layout of the current accommodation and the privacy of the rear garden to be appreciated, we recommend that interested parties do undertake a full inspection so that they can see all that is included in the property for themselves. The property also benefits from having a large block paved drive and parking area at the front with the drive leading to the double length tandem garage which is positioned at the rear. The property is well placed for easy access to excellent local schools, transport links and all the other amenities and facilities provided by Long Eaton and the surrounding area, all of which have helped to make this a very popular and convenient place to live.

Being entered through an impressive open porch through the original wood panel front door, the accommodation includes a spacious reception hallway with a cloakroom off and there are double opening ornate glazed doors leading to the through lounge which has glazed doors leading through to a garden room/sun lounge at the rear of the house and the dining room which has been extended, the open plan breakfast kitchen has woodgrain fitted units and an AGA oven in the kitchen area, there is a rear hall, utility room and a ground floor WC. To the first floor, this spacious landing has a hatch and ladders leading to a large loft space which could easily be converted into further accommodation (subject to obtaining necessary permissions) and there are doors leading to the four good size bedrooms, with the main bedroom having a potential en-suite facility, the bathroom and to a separate WC. Outside, there is block paved parking and easily managed garden areas to the front with the block paving extending down the right hand side of the property to the double length tandem garage which is positioned at the rear. The garden at the back of the property has been designed and landscaped to help keep maintenance to a minimum with there being pebbled and paved areas, as well as established mature screening running along the rear boundary.
