Set on a generous corner plot in Stoneygate, this 1930s detached house combines period character with practical family living. Bay windows, original fireplaces and parquet flooring give a sense of charm, while two reception rooms and a breakfast room provide flexible space for daily life and entertaining. The large, well-screened garden and driveway with single garage are valuable extras for families who need outdoor space and off-street parking.
The layout suits family routines: ground-floor living includes two reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room and a convenient WC. Upstairs are four bedrooms, a family bathroom with separate shower cubicle and an additional WC. The gas boiler is only one year old and mains services are connected; broadband performance is strong (cable, up to 500 Mbps) and mobile signal is excellent.
Buyers should note a few practical points. The property dates from the 1930s and the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, which may affect running costs and could require insulation works. The EPC is to be confirmed. Council Tax sits above average. There is only one family bathroom plus a separate WC, which may be a consideration for larger households.
Location is a key strength: quiet, leafy streets with niche shopping on Allandale Road, good schools nearby and straightforward access to the city centre and M1. A planning application was recently granted for No. 25 (no works started), which indicates neighbouring development activity to be aware of. Overall this is a period family home offering scope for updating and improvement, particularly for buyers seeking character and outdoor space within a strong local school catchment.
