Summary - 144 Barrow Lane, Swarkestone DE73 7GR
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Large driveway, open-field outlook and scope to extend with approved drawings ready.
Four double bedrooms, including ground-floor bedroom and shower room
Set on a large plot in a peaceful village setting, this four double-bedroom detached house delivers generous family accommodation and uninterrupted open-field views to the front. The ground floor layout includes a large open-plan kitchen/diner with island, a spacious lounge with French doors to the garden, a ground-floor bedroom and shower room — useful for multi-generational living or a home office. The block‑paved drive offers convenient in-and-out parking for several vehicles.
Practical features include mains gas central heating, UPVC double glazing (installed post‑2002) and fast broadband for remote working. The rear garden is a generous, enclosed lawn with a large paved patio and stocked borders — well suited to family life and entertaining. Architects’ drawings have been prepared by the vendor that show a first‑floor extension and full garage conversion to create a fifth bedroom and annexe-style space; these ideas will need formal planning approval.
Known limitations are stated plainly: the garage is only partially converted and further works would need building‑regulation sign‑off; planning permission for the proposed extension has not been obtained. The house dates from the 1950s–1960s and walls are cavity-built with assumed no added insulation, so buyers should budget for potential energy-efficiency improvements. Local crime levels are higher than average for the area and council tax is moderate.
Overall this is a versatile family home in a prosperous countryside location with strong parking, generous outdoor space and realistic potential to enlarge. It will suit families seeking room to grow and buyers prepared to manage modest modernisation and the planning process for extension.
