This fine, period home, formerly the Nottingham Convalescent Home dates back to the Regency period and enjoys a broad road frontage and mature grounds of 0.31 acres in total. A grand entrance hall with original floor tiles set the tone for what is a home built to impress. Refurbished over recent years, the property beautifully blends historic charm with modern refinement, showcasing a wealth of original features including sash windows, ornate fireplaces, timber floors, and intricate plaster cornices. Two large reception rooms of grand proportions overlook the rear garden and flooded with natural light through several large windows. French doors from the drawing room open into the garden. There is also a study, large cellar, family size kitchen, utility and cloaks/WC. On the first and second floors are four, unusually large bedrooms and luxurious bathroom. A large loft room on the second floor offers further potential and there is sufficient space to create addition bathrooms, if required. Outside a double width driveway leads to a detached double garage. For any car enthusiast, more of the front garden could be repurposed creating additional hardstanding. Viewing is essential.
