Set behind a neat walled frontage, this Grade II listed four-bedroom cottage combines period charm with practical family living. The ground-floor principal bedroom has an ensuite and the living room and kitchen-diner retain original features such as a fireplace and exposed brick, giving character throughout. A large front and rear garden plus side driveway provide private outdoor space and off-street parking.
The modern fitted kitchen with adjoining utility supports busy household routines, and mains gas central heating with double glazing (install date unknown) keeps rooms warm. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent — useful for home working and family connectivity. Nearby highly rated schools and green spaces such as Wollaton Hall make the location convenient for children and weekend leisure.
Buyers should note this property’s listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate consent for works. The house is built from solid brick with no cavity insulation (assumed) and has low ceilings in parts, so energy-efficiency upgrades may be limited and require specialist approaches. The local area records higher-than-average crime and very high deprivation indices, which will be a consideration for some purchasers.
Overall this detached historic home will suit families seeking a characterful, centrally placed property with generous gardens and parking. It rewards sensitive updating rather than wholesale remodelling, and offers good living space at 1,260 sq ft — but purchasers must budget for listed-building constraints and potential maintenance or retrofit costs.
