Bispham Drive, Toton

THIS IS A TRADITIONAL BAY FRONT DETACHED HOME WHICH OVER RECENT YEARS HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO THE REAR TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL GROUND FLOOR LIVING SPACE AND IS POSITIONED ON A GOOD SIZE PLOT WITH A BEAUTIFUL SOUTH FACING REAR GARDEN.

Being located in the heart of Toton, this three bedroom detached property offers a lovely family residence which is well placed for all the local schools provided by the area which is one of the main reasons people have wanted to move into Toton over the past couple of decades. Since being built in 1957, the property has been lived in by one family which helps to show what a happy home it must be and although dated in some areas, it is being sold with vacant possession and is therefore ready for immediate occupation. The new extension to the rear could easily be incorporated into the existing kitchen so as to create a lovely living/dining kitchen with bi-folding doors leading out to the level South facing rear garden which has been landscaped to keep maintenance to a minimum and provides several places for people to sit and enjoy outside living. For all that is included in the property to be appreciated, we strongly recommend that interested parties do take a full inspection so they can see the whole property for themselves in terms of the size of the extended accommodation and the privacy of the rear garden. As well as being within easy reach of local schools, the property is also close to other amenities and facilities and excellent transport links all of which have helped to make Toton such a popular and convenient place for people to live.

The property stands back from the road and is constructed of brick to the external elevations under a pitched tiled roof. The well proportioned accommodation included has a lovely feel and derives all the benefits from being double glazed and having gas central heating and includes an extended fully enclosed porch, reception hall with ground floor w.c. off and doors leading to the lounge which has a bay window to the front and a feature brick archway leading to the dining area from which there are part glazed French style doors leading into the recently added extension which was originally built to enable additional ground floor living accommodation, but could be simply used as a second sitting room and with its vaulted ceiling and bi-folding door creates a lovely connection between the main living space and the private Southerly facing rear garden. Alternatively this newly created room could be combined with the existing kitchen to provide a large kitchen/living space which can easily be separated from the lounge. From the first floor the landing leads to the three bedrooms, the master bedroom having a range of quality 'Sharps' fitted wardrobes extending along the wall and the bathroom which has been changed into a shower room with the fairly new 'Valliant' boiler being housed in an airing/storage cupboard. The external areas of the house are one of several special features of the property which we feel would appeal to people looking for a family home in Toton. The front has been slabbed and block paved and this extends down the left hand side of the house where the owners have created a very private sun trap area and beyond this there is the garage which has a store and verandah at the rear. Being a wide plot the property does lend itself to being extended at the side to both the ground and first which is an extension that has been carried out to many other properties in the area. The rear garden is landscaped in the same style as the front and side with the slabbed and block paved areas and low level walls which allow the display of the planted pots and has several seating areas and a water feature and pond for people to be able to sit and enjoy outside living during the Summer months.

As well as being within easy reach of the excellent local schools which includes the well regarded George Spencer senior school, there is a Tesco superstore on Swiney Way as well as many other shopping facilities in the nearby towns of Beeston and Long Eaton as well as Chilwell retail park where there is an M&S food store, Next and TK Maxx, there are healthcare and sports facilities which include several local golf courses, walks at Toton Fields and the picturesque Attenborough Nature Reserve and along the banks of the River Trent and several transport links which now includes the latest extension of the Nottingham tram system which terminates in Toton, stations at Attenborough, Beeston, Long Eaton and East Midlands Parkway, East Midlands Airport and the A52 and other main roads, all of which provide good access to Nottingham, Derby and other East Midlands towns and cities.
