Y OU will be hard pressed to find a family home that is in a more convenient location than this beautifully-presented and larger than average, extended semi.
Shopping is easy with Long Eaton's Asda and Tesco super stores and the town centre just five minutes' walk away. The highly-regarded Grange Primary School is an equally short walk in the other direction.
Almost on the doorstep are excellent transport links to Nottingham, Derby and East Midlands Airport. The M1 is just five minutes' away by car.
Despite its close proximity to the town centre, the house is within walking distance of a riding school, the river Trent, Erewash canal, two nature reserves and an abundance of parks to relax or play in.
So what about the house itself?
To the front is a smart block-paved drive with room for two cars and a lean-to workshop at the side, with power.
The porch has a Upvc glass door, behind which is a timber front door and the original stained glass above.
Step into the impressive tiled hall and you'll find a white staircase leading up to a bright landing, thanks to the large window at the top of the stairs.
Staying downstairs for now, the expansive lounge, which has been knocked through into the dining room, has the genuine wow factor.
There is a family room at the end of the house, offering views through French windows into the garden. This is a very impressive space.
The owners say they have catered for 12 at Christmas lunch with room for more at the table, while the feature fireplace, with its slate hearth, is just begging for a wood-burning stove.
Another nice touch is the original bay window and glass door, which have been retained. It leads into the family room which has a serving counter, giving access to the kitchen.
The owners say there have been plenty of memorable barbecues on the patio, which looks onto a large and private rear garden surrounded by fruit trees and with panelled fencing all round.
At the end of the lawn you'll find a greenhouse and a small vegetable plot which is currently occupied by a duck house.
It's hard to believe the house is so close to a main road, as you can hardly hear the traffic. Close your eyes and listen to the tweeting of birds – and the occasional quacking duck – and you could believe you were in a country garden.
Back at the house, upstairs are two large double bedrooms and a single third bedroom. There is a large family bathroom, recently refurbished and refitted with a smart, modern white suite, including P-shaped bath and shower.
The extended kitchen, with modern high-gloss white units and a range-style-cooker (not included in the price but negotiable) makes catering for a crowd a breeze. The end sink looks out on to the garden and there's a skylight in the ceiling that allows light to flood in.
With no upward chain and marketed at an extremely attractive price this is one property not to be missed.
