An Edwardian and substantial detached residence across three floors (5,467 sq ft) with seven bedrooms, four bath/shower rooms and six reception rooms, together with a substantial detached coach house/double garaging with an adjoining workshop and room above (1,079 sq ft), set back behind a secure gated entrance.
An Edwardian, three storey, seven bedroom detached house of remarkable scale, occupying a large plot extending to circa 0.38 of an acre, together with a substantial detached coach house/double garaging with considerable potential, situated in a prime suburban location within close proximity to a wealth of facilities and within walking distance of High Oakham Primary School.
Broxtowe was built in 1908 and boasts a substantial and versatile layout of living accommodation spanning over three floors, plus the cellar, extending to circa 5,467 sq ft. The property was extended to the rear c.1960s and was previously separated into two separate dwellings before being converted back into one dwelling by our clients in 2019 who have owned the property for three decades. In our opinion there is considerable potential with the house subject to obtaining necessary planning permission.
The property retains a wealth of original character features to include high ceilings, decorative plaster ceiling in the lounge, coving and picture rails, stunning oak panelling and parquet floor to the entrance hall, internal oak doors, and a substantial cellar divided up into several compartments offering a fantastic storage space with good ceiling height and potential for conversion.
The living accommodation comprises an entrance porch, entrance hall, substantial cellar, cloakroom/WC, stunning lounge with feature corner bay window, family room with beautifully appointed stone fireplace and log burner, dining room, office, snug, lobby, large open plan kitchen/diner extension with integrated appliances and a large central island, open plan study/seating area with walk-in storage cupboard, utility and a pantry. The first floor galleried landing leads to six bedrooms, a family bathroom and two shower rooms. The second floor leads to bedroom seven with a dressing area, walk-in wardrobe and a modern en suite shower room. The property has UPVC double glazing throughout and gas central heating from two Baxi boilers.
Outside - Broxtowe is situated in a prime suburban location on the leafy, tree lined, High Oakham Road conveniently positioned within walking distance to excellent local facilities and High Oakham Primary School. The property stands elevated and back from the road on a large plot extending to circa 0.38 of an acre behind a brick wall and fenced boundary frontage with central brick pillars and a sliding remote controlled electric gate opens onto a sweeping tarmacadam driveway which extends across the front of the property and down one side leading to an ample parking area to the rear of the property with turning space in front of a substantial detached coach house/double garaging with adjoining workshop and room above extending overall to circa 1,079 sq ft, which offers considerable potential. The front garden is mainly laid to lawn with established shrubs and trees with slate chipping to the borders in front of the house. There is a substantial, south facing, patio to the side of the house with low retaining stonewall boundary with two steps leading up to a central patio area with lawns on either side which extend the full depth of the plot. There are further substantial retaining stone wall boundaries with raised flowerbeds below with plants and shrubs. A paved pathway leads to the far end of the plot where there are further lawns, shrubs and trees, an outside power point and an Indian sandstone patio area off the kitchen enclosed by a high walled boundary with a connecting door which leads to the driveway and coach house/garaging.
