Offered chain free, this imposing early 20th‑century detached house sits on a large plot on Scraptoft Lane. The property spans three floors with four bedrooms, an expansive kitchen/dining room overlooking the private rear garden, and versatile reception space — well suited to a growing or multigenerational household.
Stand-out practical benefits include a long paved driveway with space for around six to eight vehicles, an attached garage and an outbuilding that houses a sauna. The garden is established and private with mature trees and a sheltered patio area, while broadband and mobile signal are reported as fast and excellent respectively — useful for commuters and home workers.
The house retains period character in its bay windows and red brick frontage but also features a contemporary fitted kitchen with integrated appliances. There is scope to reconfigure or upgrade interior fittings and services to modern standards; the building is solid brick (original construction) and assumed to lack wall insulation, which could be addressed during renovation.
Practical considerations: there is a single family bathroom serving four bedrooms, and the property dates from c.1900–1929 so some modernization of heating, electrics or insulation may be desirable. Council tax is moderate and local crime levels are average. Nearby primary and secondary schools include several highly rated options, making the location particularly convenient for households with children.
