This substantial double-fronted Victorian farmhouse sits on just under two acres and offers a rare mix of period character and genuine rural potential. High ceilings, original fireplaces and large reception rooms provide immediate charm, while the wrap‑around walled garden, mature orchard and vast paddock with five stables suit families or equestrian buyers looking for space and privacy close to Spondon village.
The house is largely intact historically but will suit buyers prepared to update rather than move straight in. The property has modern comforts such as mains gas central heating, recent uPVC sash‑style windows in parts and fast broadband, yet the solid brick walls are presumed uninsulated and there are signs of ceiling mould in the living room — a reminder that older construction and large rooms can need ongoing maintenance and sympathetic refurbishment.
Practical benefits include detached garage, multiple outbuildings and good road links to the A52. There is a septic tank (installed 2024) and shared access from West Road; there is also a restrictive covenant on the title which buyers must investigate. Council tax is Band F and local recorded crime is above average, which buyers should factor into their decision.
Overall this property is best for a buyer seeking countryside lifestyle with scope: a family wanting space and character, or an equestrian hobbyist who will invest in updating and maintaining period fabric and outbuildings. The land, views and outbuildings are standout assets but the house will reward those who tackle necessary repairs and insulation upgrades.
