Barratt Lane, Attenborough Village, Nottingham, NG9

THE PROPERTY
7 Barratt Lane comes to the market for the first time in over 70 years, offering a truly rare opportunity, having been thoroughly enjoyed as a family home over this time. Constructed in 1910, the property retains a wealth of period features both internally and externally, such as high ceilings, Minton flooring, traditional fireplaces, elegant coving, ceiling roses and a stunning original Edwardian veranda overlooking the rear garden. Accommodation extends to approximately 2000 sq. ft of practically arranged rooms over two floors, with ample scope to modernise or reconfigure internally to create a special home that combines traditional features while catering for modern living.


THE ACCOMMODATION
Upon entering the home you are immediately greeted by a traditional spacious light-filled enclosed porch, the perfect space for house plants, before continuing into the inner hall. All the principal ground floor accommodation leads off this hall. In brief, it comprises: formal dining room with bay window overlooking the rear garden, sitting room with French door leading onto the veranda, breakfast room, kitchen, a useful pantry and a cloakroom with WC. Upstairs, leading off the generous landing, there are 4 bedrooms of good proportions, a recently refurbished family bathroom and a separate WC. The landing also gives access via a retractable ladder to a large lined and boarded loft space.


GARDENS & GROUNDS
The showpiece of this home is undoubtedly its remarkable half-acre of gardens, formerly opened for over 20 years as part of the National Gardens Scheme. At the front, a gated, partly shaded courtyard forms a garden in its own right, with paved seating areas and well-stocked flowerbeds, flanked by traditional outbuildings, a detached garage and a driveway for several vehicles with an EV charger. The secluded rear garden, enclosed by brick walls and yew hedges, is truly impressive, comprising varied and attractive plantings within a framework of flowering shrubs, giving year-round colour. A substantial lawn leads on to extensive discrete beds stocked with established plants and a 1940s summerhouse with stained glass windows – overall a true outdoor haven.
