A remarkable five bedroom, three reception room Victorian detached house on a private 1/3rd acre plot with attractive period detached annex, previously a billiard house. Sweeping driveway to ample parking, many original features, located within a Conservation Area in the heart of Sandiacre. Great location for families and commuters alike. Once in a generation opportunity.
We are delighted to offer for sale Rockville, a late Victorian detached Gentlemen's residence, sat proud on a private, elevated garden plot of approximately 1/3rd of an acre.
Offering five bedrooms and three reception rooms, this substantial family house was originally built for Abraham Charles Doar, Clerk to the Stanton Ironworks Company. In the early 20th Century, Mr Doar constructed an impressive detached billiard house within the grounds. This unique building has integrated outbuildings including a stable and garage and has been used by the current family as a great games room. In our opinion, this building could make a fantastic self-contained annex (subject to planning permission, etc), offering ideal potential for families to live together, independently. Equally offering a great space for homeworking, home gym, studio, etc.
Situated on an elevated and private position on the corner of Starch Lane and Church Street, the property is situated within the heart of the original village of Sandiacre and within the Cloudside Conservation Area. Close by is St. Giles' Church, the spire of which can be seen from a number of windows in the property, and for those who like the outdoors, Stoney Clouds Nature Reserve is a short walk away as is St. Giles' Recreation Park. Schools for all ages are within easy reach. For those wishing to commute, Junction 25 of the M1 motorway, the A52 for Nottingham/Derby and the park and ride for the Nottingham tram are all less than 10 minutes drive away.
The property retains much of its original charm and character with sash windows, ornate fireplaces, high ceilings with original coving, and even brass tapestry rails. The house is centrally heated with a ducted warm air gas fired system with a hot water pressurised system.
Approached by a gated sweeping driveway which leads to a rear courtyard where there is ample off-street parking. Mature grounds to all sides with a number of distinct themed areas for families to enjoy.
After over 30 years living in the property, the current owner is looking to downsize and to find the next custodian of this remarkable family property. We strongly recommend a detailed internal viewing to avoid disappointment.
