This extended four-bedroom detached house in the centre of Donisthorpe offers more than 1,900 sq ft of flexible family living across three reception rooms and an open-plan kitchen/dining area. The layout suits busy family life: separate formal and informal reception spaces plus a garden room that opens onto a large, private rear garden — ideal for outdoor play and entertaining.
The plot is a standout feature. The long, mature rear garden with patio and extensive lawns provides scope for landscaping, a children's play area or an extension (subject to consents). Off-road parking and a single garage add practical space for cars and storage. The property sits in a sought-after village setting inside the National Forest, close to good primary and secondary schools and local leisure amenities.
Practical points are straightforward: the home is oil‑heated with a boiler and radiators, has double glazing, and is freehold. There is a basement room and a single family bathroom serving four bedrooms — something to consider for larger households. Broadband and mobile signal are average locally, and the wider area records higher levels of deprivation than nearby towns, which may affect resale demand compared with busier commuter locations.
For buyers seeking a spacious, characterful family home with scope to personalise, this property offers a strong combination of size, garden and village location. Those looking for a move-in‑perfect, low‑maintenance modern home should note the single bathroom, oil heating and potential refurbishment work that may be desired in parts of the house.
