Property description
THIS IS A DOUBLE FRONTED VICTORIAN DETACHED PROPERTY WITH THE ACCOMMODATION ARRANGED ON THREE LEVELS. THERE IS A BEAUTIFUL ORANGERY AT THE REAR WHICH HAS SIGNIFICANTLY ENLARGED THE GROUND FLOOR LIVING SPACE INCLUDED IN THIS LOVELY HOME.
It indeed provides Robert Ellis with much pleasure to be asked to market this double bay fronted FIVE BEDROOM Victorian detached home which has been lovingly restored by the current owner so the property provides spacious accommodation on three levels but still retains all the charm and character associated with a property of its age. The property was originally built in 1896 for one of the lace makers who operated in the area and over the past 100 or so years has only been lived in by three owners in that time. As well as the splendid space provided by the original property the accommodation provided has been enlarged over recent years with an absolutely beautiful Willoughby orangery being added to the rear which provides further flexible living space for owners to use throughout the year and then the original attic has been converted to provide a separate master bedroom suite or an area which could be used by a family member who is in search of independent area within a property. For the full extent of all that is included in this period home to be appreciated we strongly recommend that all interested parties take a full inspection so they are able to see all parts of the property for themselves, which will also include the garaging, outbuildings and private landscaped gardens at the rear. Being situated on Derby Road the property also benefits from being within easy reach of all the facilities provided by Long Eaton and the surrounding area which include both state and independent schools which have excellent reputations and also the property is close to excellent transport links.
Quantock House is situated in a conservation area and is constructed of a red brick to the external elevations under a tiled roof. The large and spacious accommodation, which over the past few years has been partly used to run a business from, as well as providing a lovely home, derives all the benefits of GAS CENTRAL HEATING and in brief includes a fully enclosed reception porch which leads through the original front door to the large reception hall, which again has original tiling to the floor and original pine panelled doors leading to the rooms off which include a through lounge, which is where two original rooms have been combined and includes both lounge and dining areas. There is then a separate sitting room, which in the past has been used as an office and to the rear of the property there is the large orangery which has a lantern top roof and overlooks the private landscaped Victorian garden to the rear. The kitchen was exclusively fitted by Clive Christian and includes wood finished wall and base units and several INTEGRATED APPLIANCES. There is also a generous ground floor w.c. and cloakroom and a door leading from the hallway to the cellar. To the first floor there are three double bedrooms, a further room which has a feature original coloured glazed arched window to the front and the main bathroom. This floor also has a most useful laundry room/kitchen from which there is a staircase leading to the converted attic space which provides a self contained master bedroom suite which would be ideal for a family member looking for independence. The attic rooms are again large and spacious and have oak flooring running through the main bedroom and living space which includes a large bedroom, most luxurious bathroom which includes a cast iron roll top bath with claw feet and separate power shower which has a jet spa mains flow shower, there is also a study and dressing area included within this area of the house. Outside there is block paved CAR STANDING at the front of the house for four vehicles, a DOUBLE GARAGE to the right hand side and to the rear there are the most delightful landscaped gardens which have been designed so they retain the feel of a Victorian courtyard garden and include a most private patio area to the side of the orangery which leads down to a manicured lawned area with beds to the sides and a range of outbuildings including a pottery area, garden kitchen, store, workshop, outside w.c. and a further covered seating area which provides yet another feature to the outside living space included within the property.
