There are many attractions of this traditionally built detached house and it is clear that the owners have enjoyed it as a family home over a number of years. Immaculately presented accommodation is complemented by an equally lovely garden and consists of four reception rooms and four bedrooms. The master bedroom has a range of fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room and there is a beautifully appointed family bathroom. The ground floor rooms include a double aspect sitting room and sun room, a family room and study and a fabulous living room conservatory, all of which enjoy a view over the manicured rear garden. High quality fittings in the bathrooms and appliances in the kitchen are matched by a bright neutral interior, with gas central heating and double glazed windows throughout. The property also benefits from 2.5kw solar panels that have generated an income of around £850 over the past year.
Balmoral Drive is a well regarded and sought after location, close to a good variety of independent and national shops that are found in the nearby Bramcote Lane shopping area. The house sits within the catchment area of Bramcote College and Bramcote Hills Primary School. The A52 offers excellent links to Nottingham, Derby, the M1 and East Midlands Airport. The Energy Performance Rating for the property is D - 65 and we strongly recommend viewing.

The back garden is undoubtedly one of the features of this already attractive house and is a perfect size for the family. The majority of garden is laid to lawn with a range of extremely well stocked mature and established flowerbeds with a host of plants, shrubs and evergreens giving all year round interest and all fed by an automated irrigation system. A paved pathway snakes to the rear end of the garden where a timber summerhouse and family seating area are found together with space for a greenhouse and a fruit garden. Immediately to the rear of the house and with access from the sunroom is a large paved patio area that is perfect for alfresco dining. The garden is extremely well screened on all sides with mature trees and fencing. The front garden is open to Balmoral Drive with a large raised Bulwell stone fronted rose garden area. A Presscrete driveway reduces maintenance and provides ample parking for two vehicles off road. In addition there is a semi integral garage with an up and over electric door.
