The property was built to an individual architects design in the early 1950's and has been in the same family ownership since. The quality of materials employed when it was constructed was of the highest and much remains - viz wood block flooring, solid wood internal doors, etc.  the property has the benefit of a gas fired central heating system and retains attractive cottage style leaded windows to the front elevation.

Briefly the accommodation consists of an entrance hall with cloaks/wc off, lounge with inglenook fireplace, large separate dining room, kitchen, rear entrance hall with pantry off and access to a substantial integral garage.  There is also a small rear conservatory.  At first floor level there are four bedrooms, bathroom and separate wc.  externally there are well stocked and well laid out gardens which are easy to manage, and a wide driveway together with a greenhouse and garden shed.

The property would benefit from a programme of upgrading and improvement for which there is very significant potential.  Located in one of the most favoured parts of Littleover, the sale represents an opportunity to acquire a highly individual and attractive house capable of being made into an even more desirable residence.
