Summary - 79 Manthorpe Road NG31 8DA
5 bed 3 bath Semi-Detached
Large listed family house overlooking Manthorpe Park with garden and parking.
Five double bedrooms across three floors, generous 3,092–3,122 sq ft
A handsome late-18th-century, five-bedroom family house with generous proportions and striking period detail. Recently and sympathetically renovated, the property retains original features such as high ceilings, sash and bay windows, fireplaces and a clay-tiled entrance hall while offering modern comforts including a refitted kitchen, upgraded plumbing, heating and approved full electrical rewiring.
Sit comfortably overlooking Manthorpe Park from a west-facing, double-fronted façade. The private walled garden with mature trees and a sheltered south-facing veranda creates safe outdoor space for children and year-round entertaining. Practical benefits include off-street parking via a shared driveway and fast fibre broadband for home working.
Important practical points: the house is Grade II listed, which brings restrictions and potential difficulties for future changes. The Energy Performance Certificate is rated E and the original solid brick walls are likely uninsulated. Council tax is described as expensive, and local recorded crime is above average. These factors are balanced by approved renovation works already completed and the house’s substantial footprint and location.
This home suits a family seeking character, space and proximity to good local schools, green parkland and commuter rail links to London. Buyers should be comfortable with listed building ownership and potential ongoing running costs associated with an older, solid-wall property.
