This impeccably presented detached and extended house has much to offer to a family looking for a sizeable long term home. One of the many attractions is the very large plot that extends to around 0.25 acre (not measured). This is currently used as garden but provides the possibility to build a garden room or a home office whilst still leaving more than enough garden area for the house itself. The accommodation throughout the house, is well proportioned with two very good sized reception rooms and a breakfast kitchen on the ground floor. Upstairs there are four particularly good double bedrooms, two of which have high quality fitted bedroom furniture that includes full height wardrobes and drawers. Additional features include double glazed windows that are in keeping with the original style, a recently installed Vaillant combination boiler and a large integral garage. As well as having a fantastic view to the rear, the house also enjoys an elevated, open view at the front onto University grounds and Highfields Park. The property is very well situated within a short distance of the many and varied amenities and leisure facilities that are offered by the thriving and popular High Road area of Beeston. Of particular note are the excellent transport links that are found close to hand, namely the NET Tram, numerous and regular buses into Nottingham and Derby and the A52 to the M1 and East Midlands Airport. The Queens Medical Centre, Nottingham University and Boots Head Office are within walking distance and further large employers can be found at the NG2 Business Park to which the tram runs, en route to Nottingham. Overall, there is much to recommend about this property and we strongly suggest a viewing to appreciate it fully. The current Energy Rating is D - 58.
