Set well back from the road behind mature beech screening, this 1949 Arts & Crafts detached home sits on an unusually large plot (circa 120ft x 60ft) in desirable Breaston. The house has been comprehensively renovated, combining many original features — quarry tiles, oak floors, 1930s staircase and leaded glazing — with a high-spec open-plan kitchen, new black double-glazed windows and an upgraded gas central heating system.
The ground floor centres on a generous rear extension that creates a bright open-plan kitchen, dining and living area with integrated Neff appliances, island hob with downdraft extractor, Quooker tap and abundant storage. There are three reception rooms in total, a handy utility and cloakroom, plus a garage repurposed partially for utility/storage. Off-street parking accommodates up to eight cars behind an attractive drive with period-style lamp.
Upstairs are four double bedrooms including a newly created master with walk-through dressing area and en-suite, and family bathroom plus separate WC. The extensive rear garden offers mature shrubs, water feature, slate and Indian stone paths and external lighting — a private, child-friendly and flexible outdoor space for families.
Practical points to note: the property’s solid brick construction was built before modern cavity insulation (assumed no insulation in walls), so adding wall insulation would be a consideration. Council tax is high. Overall size is described as average for the footprint, but the combination of reception rooms and large garden gives substantial usable living space for family life or entertaining.
