Property description
VENDOR COMMENT Visitors to Threeways always go straight to the windows and their response like ours when we first viewed is "wow what a view!" A unique property situated on a large plot in an enviable elevated position with panoramic views over the Trent Valley and beautiful sunsets in the west. On the other side of the plot there is an orchard running the length of the property. Set in just under half an acre of land with private off road parking for several vehicles. The house is only a short walk to the village centre, but located in a very private position and not overlooked.
Architect designed and built in 1957 by Ramsdens of Castle Donington and constructed to an excellent specification this wonderful family home features extensive use of English Oak to the stairs and parquet floors in the hall and principal rooms. The property is such that there have only been two owners in 60 years.
Further extensive renovation was completed in 2001 to open up the ground floor areas. This has created an ideal light open plan spacious kitchen, dining and lounge area to the front of the property. A utility area and ground floor shower room were also added plus the garage was converted into a spacious office with exposed original beams and mezzanine feature. The old wine cellar leading from the kitchen was transformed into a fully equipped gym. Further work was completed to the garden in 2010 to create a lawn the size of a tennis court.
There is so much more potential to further develop the property
