4 bed detached house for sale

Guide price: £600,000-£650,000

Nestled on a generous plot of approximately 0.25 acres, this much-loved four-bedroom detached chalet-style dormer bungalow presents a rare opportunity to create a truly exceptional family home in one of Toton's most desirable locations.

Built in 1955 by the current owners' family, who purchased the plot in 1953 and oversaw the construction of the home themselves, this cherished property is now ready for a new chapter. Having remained in the same family ever since, it offers an abundance of space both inside and out, providing the perfect canvas for buyers looking to modernise, extend or reconfigure to suit their own lifestyle and aspirations.

The setting is what makes this home so special.

Families will appreciate being within easy reach of highly regarded schools including George Spencer Academy and Bispham Drive Primary School, making the morning school run effortless. Everyday convenience is equally well catered for, with Tesco Extra, Chilwell Retail Park and Bardills Garden Centre all nearby, while those who enjoy the outdoors can take advantage of beautiful local green spaces including Toton Fields Nature Reserve and the picturesque Attenborough Nature Reserve.

Occupying an elevated position, the property enjoys far-reaching views across the Nottinghamshire landscape, best appreciated from the large terrace overlooking the south-west facing rear garden. Whether it's summer barbecues, children's play space, or simply relaxing with a glass of wine as the sun sets, the garden offers endless possibilities.

The substantial plot provides ample parking for multiple vehicles alongside a garage and car port, while also offering significant scope for extension and development (subject to any necessary consents). For those dreaming of creating a bespoke family home, opportunities like this are increasingly difficult to find.

Internally, the accommodation is both spacious and versatile, featuring four bedrooms, including three doubles, a generous living room, kitchen diner, two bathrooms, a large central hallway, and both front and side porches. The flexible layout lends itself perfectly to modern family living, whilst offering plenty of potential to adapt and enhance over time.

This is more than just a property; it's a chance to acquire a home with history, character and exceptional potential in a location that perfectly balances convenience, connectivity and tranquillity. For buyers with vision, this could be the dream home opportunity you've been waiting for.
