Dovedale Road, West Bridgford, Nottinghamshire

An impressive period detached home on one of West Bridgford's most desirable roads. Extending to over 2,580 sq ft, it offers five bedrooms, three reception rooms and a large private garden, with leaded double glazed windows, stained glass, high ceilings and generous proportions throughout.

Step through the front door into the porch, where built-in storage keeps coats and shoes neatly out of the way. From here you move into the hallway, filled with natural light from the bay window on the half-landing. It is a lovely feature, and it draws that same light up onto the galleried landing above. A downstairs WC sits off the hallway.

Two reception rooms sit to the front. The family room is wrapped around a curved turret bay, a corner made for reading and quiet afternoons. The living room offers a working fireplace to warm yourself on winter days, with doors through to the garden room. At the heart of the home is the kitchen/diner, a generous 22ft space running to a bay window and dining area, served by a separate utility and a long side hall with a further WC and access to the garage. The kitchen also flows into the garden room, giving one continuous run from the front to the back of the house. It is easy to see why so much of the day is spent in this space, be it meals for two at the breakfast bar or family time at the dining table, followed by a bit of peace and quiet in the garden room.

Upstairs, five bedrooms lead off the galleried landing. Four are doubles, including a principal bedroom with its own curved turret bay and leafy views, while the fifth works as a study with views over the garden. Every window frames trees and greenery, and the setting is remarkably quiet. Set between the third and fourth bedrooms, and opposite the principal, are two separate spaces. The family bathroom centres on a freestanding bath, framed by soft stone tiling and a stained glass window. The shower room complements it, with a corner shower and stained glass of its own. Both have a WC.

Outside, a generous private drive provides parking for several cars, with a single garage attached to the house. To the rear lies a large, private and sunny garden. A raised seating area sits above the level lawn, framed by mature hedging, with further space at the foot of the garden that could suit a garden room or annexe, subject to planning. A gate opens onto Dovedale Road, while the garden connects to the house through the garden room's double doors and the back door into the kitchen.

Homes of this size, character and position rarely reach the open market. Early viewing is advised.
