Set on a substantial plot in the heart of Mapperley, this detached period house combines generous proportions with original character. High ceilings, wide windows and feature landings with a bespoke staircase give an immediate sense of scale and presence. The layout suits family life: two reception rooms, a large open-plan kitchen/diner and five double bedrooms across generous upper floors.
The mature, west-facing rear garden of almost 20 metres offers privacy, established borders and a covered BBQ area — a rare outdoor retreat near the city. A large garage/workshop with mechanics pit provides secure parking and significant storage or hobby space; there is scope to convert the loft or garage-adjacent storage into extra accommodation, subject to consents.
Practical details to note: the house dates from before 1900 with solid brick walls (likely uninsulated), double glazing of unknown age and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. The kitchen is mid-century / dated and will benefit from updating to suit contemporary tastes. Council tax banding is above average and the wider area shows pockets of deprivation; crime and mobile signal are average.
This property will suit a family seeking space and character close to good schools and city access, or an investor/renovator wanting to add value through targeted modernisation. Viewings will suit those prepared to balance period maintenance with the opportunity of a substantial, well-situated home.
