Being located on Douglas Road which is well placed for easy access to Trent College and all the other amenities and facilities provided by the area, this traditional period detached property provides spacious accommodation which is arranged on three levels. Retaining many original features including sash windows and internal pine doors, the property is ideal for a family as this lovely home includes extended ground floor living space and four double bedrooms and for all that is included to be appreciated, we strongly recommend that interested parties do take a full inspection which will enable them to see the size of the rooms included and the privacy of the rear garden for themselves. Having a number of similar quality period properties to the immediate area, this particular home has a lovely feel throughout and is ready for immediate occupation with one of the several particular features being the enlarged breakfast kitchen which opens up to the beautiful private rear garden which provides several places for owners and friends to sit and enjoy outside living.

The property is constructed of brick to the external elevations under a pitched tiled roof and the spacious accommodation derives all the benefits of gas central heating which over the past few years has had the boiler replaced. Being entered through a stylish composite front door, the accommodation includes an impressive hallway, from which there are original pine doors leading to the lounge, dining room which is connected to the lounge to provide an open plan reception room feel, further sitting room, garden room/study and the extended breakfast kitchen which has extensive ranges of units with cream finished door and drawer fronts and granite work surfaces.

There is then a second flight of stairs taking you to the second floor where there is the fourth double bedroom which has a door leading into a walk-in store which has the potential to be made into another usable bedroom or study area off the fourth bedroom and there is also a most useful w.c. on this floor.
