This is a substantial and extended detached 1920’s period property with 3 large reception rooms, a good sized kitchen, 4 double bedrooms, an en-suite dressing room and bathroom to the master bedroom and a house bathroom. The property has plenty of character yet it would now benefit from a full programme of capital expenditure and refurbishment.

The property has a very large ‘double’ plot with a frontage onto Preston New Road and a boundary with Wyfordby Avenue to the rear. For many years the owners have used the rear driveway for access.

There could be potential to develop the site by dividing the plot but it would be for any interested party to investigate and satisfy their own enquiries as to the availability of any required consents.

 

The gardens are mature and tree-lined. They are now in need of general attention to bring them back to their former glory. There is a range of outbuildings including a store annexe, a garage, a greenhouse and a garden/sun room.
