HOME REBORN

Huge four-bed house in residential area given new lease of life with massive modernisation

Ahouse that stands within an established residential street in Spondon has gone up for sale, but it is not what you might expect. Newly modernised and extended, this now huge four-bed has an interior that you might expect to see in a brand new home. The modernisation programme that the house has undergone means that there is now a new kitchen/ breakfast room which, measuring 17’8” x 10’9” (5.38m x 3.28m), has plenty of space for a table and chairs as well as its newly fitted units and appliances. Appliances include a built-in double oven, gas hob, integrated dishwasher and integrated fridge and freezer. Laundry appliances may be tucked away in the house’s utility room. LED mood lighting, inset ceiling lights, a Velux style window... these extras all contribute to the sleek design of the kitchen, while reception rooms have been left neutral so that a buyer can inject their own style into the house once they have moved in. The main reception area in the house is the living room, which measures 29’1” x 11’8” (8.86m x 3.56m), while the second reception room, the sitting room, measures 13’1” x 10’11” (4m x 3.33m). Upstairs, there are four good-sized bedrooms as well as a family bathroom and an en suite to the master bedroom. Again, both the en suite shower room and the bathroom have had the makeover treatment. Illuminated mirrors are fitted in the bathroom and en suite, there’s stylish tiling as well as practical storage. The gardens have also been revamped. Designed to include a patio area and lawns, the rear garden is enclosed by fencing. At the front of the house is a pathway and a gravelled area providing off-street parking as well as an attached garage. Location is another buzzword when buying a house but its importance is obvious. Spondon is a part of the city of Derby but often referred to as a village. It is a location with its fair share of schools - there are five within easy reach and these include both primary and secondary schooling. Shops, doctors surgeries, opticians, dentists and a library are all on the list of amenities in the area.
