Summary - 6, Lilley Street, Long Bennington NG23 5EJ
4 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Spacious village house with large gardens and extensive parking for family life.
Large secluded plot with mature lawns and shrub borders
A generous period semi-detached house on a large plot in Long Bennington, offering spacious family accommodation across two floors. The property has three reception rooms, a fitted Shaker-style kitchen with appliances, four bedrooms and useful outbuildings converted to utility, shower room and WC. Practical upgrades include a Worcester gas boiler fitted circa 2020, UPVC double glazing and six owned roof-mounted solar panels. The double garage and a wide driveway provide parking for up to ten cars — a rare asset for village homes.
The house retains many character features: brick fireplaces, coved ceilings and built-in wardrobes, making it comfortable as-is while also offering clear scope to modernise. There is potential to reconfigure the layout (for example removing the stud partition between kitchen and dining room) and to extend, subject to planning (STP). The generous, secluded lawned gardens with mature shrubs and hedging provide a private outdoor setting and room for landscaping projects.
Important considerations: the property requires renovation in places and some parts (solid brick walls) likely lack cavity wall insulation, which impacts thermal performance. The conservatory has a polycarbonate roof and the former outbuildings are of mixed construction, so further investment may be needed to improve finishes and insulation. Council Tax is band E (above average) and the EPC rating is not provided in the details.
Overall this freehold period house suits a family seeking space, character and parking in a desirable village location, or a buyer looking to add value through sympathetic updating. Its combination of period charm, solar panels and a large plot make it an appealing long-term home with clear renovation potential.
