6 bedroom detached house

For more than three decades, this substantial six-bedroom detached residence has been lovingly cared for by the same family. Tucked behind lofty oaks on one of Mapperley Park’s most coveted avenues, the house enjoys a rare combination of seclusion, stature and convenience. From the moment you sweep up the private, hedge-lined drive and catch sight of the double garage and broad, brick façade, it is clear that space and privacy are hallmarks of this property.

Inside, a bright reception hall with rich wood flooring and central open tread wooden staircase sets an inviting tone and offers line-of-sight straight through to the rear garden - instantly connecting the interior to its leafy surroundings. To one side, the contemporary kitchen boasts warm wood-finish cabinetry, brushed-steel fittings, mosaic tiling and a Rangemaster gas cooker. Dual-aspect windows bathe the room in natural light while an integrated dishwasher and plentiful prep space keep family life running smoothly.

The generous ground-floor reception rooms mirror the home’s exterior scale. Large picture windows frame garden vistas and flood the spacious living and dining areas with daylight, making them perfect for lively gatherings or quiet evenings alike. A separate storage area and WC add further convenience and practicality.

Upstairs, a sweeping mezzanine landing branches to six bedrooms including one en-suite. Five are true doubles, each benefitting from verdant outlooks that reinforce the property’s park-like setting; the sixth is perfectly sized for a nursery, craft room or home office, all served by a well appointed family bathroom. Throughout, original timber floors enhance the sense of character, while a reliable Worcester combi boiler and partial loft boarding underline the home’s practical credentials.

Outside, both front and rear plots are mature yet manageable. Lawns, colourful borders and specimen trees provide year-round interest, and there’s ample room for children’s play equipment, garden beds or further landscaping if desired. Despite the peace and greenery, you’re only moments from well-regarded schools, Nottingham City Hospital, regular bus routes and the independent cafés and amenities of both Sherwood and Mapperley.

Opportunities to secure a spacious and much-loved family home in Mapperley Park’s conservation area are few and far between. With its generous footprint, double garaging, extensive parking and wrap-around gardens, this property is ready to welcome its next family for the next thirty years - and beyond.
