Summary - Grange Lea, Park Lane, Castle Donington DE74 2RS
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Period character, large plot and newly refreshed interiors near Lady Grey Wood.
Adjacent to Lady Grey Wood, very private and scenic plot
Set beside Lady Grey Wood, this extended detached home blends genuine period character with recent redecoration and modern kitchen fittings. The generous layout — three reception rooms plus a large breakfast kitchen and garden room — suits family life, entertaining and flexible working. The four double bedrooms and two bathrooms provide comfortable family accommodation across a traditional footprint.
The property sits on an impressive plot of about 0.475 acre with a substantial gravel driveway and large garage, offering ample parking and outdoor space for children and gardeners. Secondary glazing, an oil-fired boiler and radiator heating deliver practical, familiar services, while a cellar and timber outbuilding (currently used as a gym) add usable storage and hobby space.
Important practical notes: the house is of solid brick construction dating to 1790 and is assumed to have no cavity insulation in the walls. Heating runs from an oil boiler (not a community supply), and the location has a medium flood risk. Also be aware of a recent planning approval nearby for change of use and static caravans (application 23/01633/FUL), which may alter immediate surroundings. These factors may influence insurance, running costs and future improvement options.
This home will appeal to families seeking space, character and a quiet, semi-rural feel with strong commuter links to East Midlands Airport, Parkway station and nearby cities. The property has been newly renovated internally and externally and will be ready for viewings — a rare combination of period charm, generous grounds and modernised living in Castle Donington.
