4 bedroom detached house for sale

Full of character and charm, this beautifully extended and modernised four-bedroom detached home, originally built in the early 1900s, offers a perfect blend of period elegance and contemporary comfort. Set on the highly desirable Bretby Lane in Burton-on-Trent, the property enjoys a peaceful semi-rural setting while remaining close to local amenities, reputable schools, and excellent transport links.

Upon entering, you are welcomed by a generous hallway with space for coats, shoes, and seating - a practical yet inviting introduction to the home. The central staircase divides two spacious front reception rooms. To the right, the main living room features a large front-aspect window allowing plenty of natural light and a charming feature fireplace that creates a cosy focal point. To the left, an equally impressive additional reception room provides versatility, ideal for use as a formal sitting room, games room, or family living space.

Stretching across the rear of the property, the open-plan kitchen diner is a true highlight. The shaker-style kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units, a double eye-level oven, gas hob, extractor fan, integrated dishwasher, and dedicated space for a washing machine. Expansive worktops extend into a stylish L-shaped breakfast bar, providing casual dining or entertaining space. The kitchen overlooks the rear garden, offering a picturesque view while cooking or hosting. The dining area comfortably accommodates a large family table and chairs, creating the perfect setting for family meals or gatherings. Off this area, a practical utility space and downstairs WC provide additional convenience, with access leading directly out to the rear garden. A useful pantry and generous under-stairs storage further enhance functionality on the ground floor.

Upstairs, a spacious landing leads to four generously sized double bedrooms, each offering bright, airy accommodation and views of open fields or surrounding greenery. The principal bedroom features fitted wardrobes, a dedicated dressing area, and an en-suite shower room comprising a shower cubicle, WC, and hand wash basin. The remaining bedrooms are all exceptionally well-proportioned, easily accommodating double beds and additional furnishings, making them perfect for family living or guest accommodation. The family bathroom serves these bedrooms and is beautifully fitted with a freestanding bath, a double shower cubicle, WC, and a vanity unit with hand wash basin.

Outside, the property boasts a fantastic garden - predominantly laid to lawn with two patio seating areas, mature borders, and hedging providing a private and tranquil outdoor space. To the front, there is ample driveway parking along with a well-kept lawn and access to the garage, which offers excellent space for a vehicle or additional storage.

Bretby Lane is one of Burton-on-Trent's most sought-after residential addresses, known for its mix of character homes and peaceful setting. The area enjoys a semi-rural feel with countryside walks nearby, yet remains within easy reach of Burton town centre, local shops, restaurants, and schools. Excellent road links to the A38 and A511 make it ideal for commuters travelling to Derby, Lichfield, or beyond.

This superb family home combines generous living accommodation, tasteful modernisation, and an enviable location - ready for new owners to move straight in and enjoy everything it has to offer.
