Property description
SITUATED ON THIS MOST SOUGHT AFTER ROAD ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF LONG EATON, THIS INDIVIDUAL DETACHED PROPERTY OFFERS POTENTIAL TO BE SIGNIFICANTLY EXTENDED AND ALSO HAS THE POSSIBILITY TO OBTAINING PLANNING PERMISSION FOR TWO BUILDING PLOTS WITHIN THE ½ ACRE GROUNDS WHICH FRONT ONTO HASLEMERE ROAD AND PARKSIDE AVENUE.
It indeed provides Robert Ellis with much pleasure to be asked to market this individual detached family home which has scope to be significantly extended to either side to the rear and into the roof attic space if this was a project a new owner was looking to undertake. The property stands in lovely landscaped and level gardens which extend from the front and down both sides and to the rear and the plot is approximately 2500 sq.ft. in size which equates to approximately ½ acre. There is also an additional strip of land that runs down the left hand boundary which fronts onto Parkside Avenue and this is a piece of land which is also within the ownership of Rosedene. The property is currently vacant and is therefore being offered for sale with the benefit of NO UPWARD CHAIN with the house still retaining many original features from the time it was built in the 1930's. For the full extent of the accommodation that is included and the size of the South facing gardens at the rear to be appreciated, it is strongly recommended that all interested parties do take a full inspection so they can see the full extent of the property for themselves. We believe there is the possibility of obtaining planning permission in the future for a building plot to be created at the rear of the property running along the rear boundary and possibly also at the side, although these opportunities would need investigating further by interested parties with the local planning authority. The property is well located for easy access to all the amenities and facilities provided by Long Eaton and the surrounding area which include both excellent state and independent schools and extremely good transport links, all of which have helped to make this a very popular and convenient place to live.
This individual home is situated on a prestigious address in the area and will be a property that could be significantly enlarged if all the existing land attached is retained as gardens so an impressive detached larger family home is created. The property has an extremely wide frontage and has an 'in and out' driveway with car standing at the front for several vehicles with the majority of the South facing gardens being situated at the rear. The property is constructed of brick under a pitched tiled roof which is mansard style at the front and the well proportioned accommodation currently benefits from an air ducted heating system. In brief the accommodation includes an open porch, reception hall which has original parquet flooring and off the hallway there is a ground floor w.c., there is a lounge which runs from the front to the rear of the property and has a feature Inglenook fireplace, parquet flooring and French style doors leading out to the extensive gardens at the rear. There is a separate dining room and kitchen which has been refitted over recent years. There is a rear covered area which connects to the brick garage situated to the left of the property and there is a boiler/store room off this covered area. To the first floor there is an open landing with a window to the front and there are the three double bedrooms and the bathroom which has been refitted and includes a corner bath with a shower over. As people will see when they walk round the property, it would now benefit from being extended so as to create enlarged ground floor and first floor accommodation with there also being the option to extend into the attic space to create further bedrooms and other accommodation. To the left hand side of the property there is a DOUBLE BRICK GARAGE which has had a utility room created at the rear which is also accessed off the covered rear hallway and then there are the gardens which in total are approximately ½ an acre in size. At the front of the property there is extensive car standing and gardens with a substantial stone wall running along the front boundary. There is land to either side of the house with there being a gate to the left hand side which leads to the rear garden. At the immediate rear of the property there is a large slabbed patio area with a wall and there are steps leading from the patio to a sunken ornamental garden which has a pond and various planted beds. Beyond the ornamental garden there is a pebbled area and then the extensive lawned gardens which are deep as well as being wide. There are mature trees and other shrubs and bushes in the garden which help to create privacy from the adjoining properties and there is fencing to the three main boundaries.
