THIS IS A SUBSTANTIAL INDIVIDUALLY DESIGNED MULTI GENERATIONAL ECO HOME THAT WAS BUILT BY THE CURRENT OWNERS FOR THEIR OWN OCCUPATION. THE PROPERTY IS ARRANGED ON TWO LEVELS AND OFFERS EXTENSIVE ACCOMMODATION THAT SUITS EXTENDED FAMILY LIVING. THE PROPERTY IS ECO FRIENDLY AND DERIVES ALL THE BENEFITS OF PROPERTIES THAT WERE CONSTRUCTED WITH HIGH ECO EFFICIENCIES IN MIND.
Being situated on this private driveway on the edge of Long Eaton, this substantial detached family home offers very spacious accommodation that will suit an extended family that might include elderly relatives or older children still living at home. The property was designed by the current owners and the ground floor has two main living areas and SEVEN BEDROOMS to the first floor with two master bedrooms that have their own EN-SUITE facilities and large well fitted DRESSING ROOMS. The property is an individual home with a traditional appearance from the front elevation and is built to the highest efficiency standards so that it has become a most economical home to run with little if no maintenance or decoration required internally or externally.
The property was built approximately 15 years ago and for the full extent of the accommodation and living space that is included to be appreciated and the privacy of the South-West facing gardens at the rear to be seen, it is strongly recommended that interested parties who are looking for a property of this calibre do take a full inspection so they can see the extent of the property and plot for themselves. The property benefits from having a mechanical ventilation and heat recovery system included which draws the air from the wet room areas - kitchen, bathrooms etc. and goes through the heat exchange system which includes a heat pump and warm fresh air is then circulated into the dry rooms - reception rooms and bedrooms. The property also has solar panels discreetly placed on the roof and this feeds electricity into the tariff system which produces an income which more than covers the outgoing electricity and gas costs per annum. This most lovely home also has an integrated vacuum system with several points around the house to plug the extendable hose into. More information will be provided about the efficiency, running costs and special features of the property when people view. The property is well placed for easy access to both the state and independent schools which include Trent College which is adjacent to the property as well as The Wilsthorpe School and schools for younger children. The house is also within easy access to many other amenities and facilities provided by Long Eaton and the surrounding area and to excellent transport links which are a few minutes drive from this most beautiful home.
The property stands off Westhorpe Drive and is constructed of an insulated concrete formwork (ICF) under a pitched tiled warm roof. The external elevations have a polymer rendering with a coloured finish which needs little if no maintenance and as well as having the efficient heat recovery system the property is DOUBLE GLAZED throughout. Although the floor plans and photographs will give a good idea of the layout and size of the accommodation included, it is important people do see the whole property for themselves. The property has also been designed so the internal walls can be easily reconfigured if a future owner wants to change the layout of the accommodation to either the ground or first floors.
In brief the accommodation includes a large reception porchway which leads through into the very spacious reception hall from which there are stairs leading to a generous galleried landing. From the main reception hallway there is a main lounge (currently used as a dining room) which has French doors leading out to the South-West facing garden, there is a dining room which is currently used as a sitting room at the front of the house, an extremely well fitted breakfast kitchen which serves the main living space and then to the right hand side of the property there is a second lounge which again has French doors leading out to the private gardens at the rear and off this room there is a second kitchen and dining area. The ground floor also has two studies which are fitted with office/study furniture that includes adjustable shelving, there is a ground floor w.c. and a large utility room which also provides access to the side of the property. Most of the ground floor has laminate flooring, to again keep maintenance and upkeep to a minimum, and then the stairs lead to the large galleried landing off which there are several built-in storage facilities, there is access via a ladder to the mostly boarded attic space where the heat exchange system is located and the attic also has lighting and power points. Off the landing area there is the master bedroom which has its own bathroom with separate en-suite toilet and there is also a large walk-in dressing room which is well fitted with hanging space, shelving and drawer fittings. There is a second master bedroom suite which again has its own shower room en-suite and separate en-suite toilet and a further walk-in dressing room, which again is well fitted with hanging space, drawers and shelving. There are then three further double bedrooms, all of which have built-in storage/wardrobe facilities and one having its own walk-in shower room EN-SUITE. There are then two further bedrooms and the main family bathroom which is currently used as a shower room, but could easily have a bath incorporated if this was preferred by a new owner.
Outside there is the part integral DOUBLE GARAGE which has an electrically operated up and over folding door, power and lighting. At the front of the house there is an extensive CAR STANDING/PARKING AREA which is finished with pressed concrete and a further PARKING AREA to the left of the house.

There is a summerhouse included in the sale which has an electric supply and at the rear of the summerhouse there is a shed and a further storage area. This really is an individual large detached family residence, which as previously mentioned, would suit an extended family or even two families who have come together to live in the same property.
