The Frontage

---

A Statement Before You Even Step Inside
First impressions in property are everything, and this home makes one of the most powerful statements on the street. The imposing, characterful frontage draws the eye immediately

---

a handsome period façade of real architectural presence, standing confidently behind a generous plot that announces its significance to all who pass by. This is a home that commands respect and admiration from the outside just as powerfully as it does within.

The front of the property provides a private garage alongside parking for several vehicles

---

a genuinely enviable arrangement that eliminates the parking pressures that so often accompany family life. Whether accommodating the family's multiple cars, providing secure storage for bikes, tools or leisure equipment within the garage, or welcoming visiting friends and guests with ease, the forecourt of this property is as practical as it is visually impressive. In a busy residential suburb this close to the city, private multi-car parking is a commodity of real and tangible value

---

and here, it is delivered in abundance.

 
Ground Floor

---

Modern Family Life in Generous, Flowing Spaces
Step through the front door and into a world where period charm and contemporary living coexist in perfect, effortless harmony. The ground floor of this home is a masterclass in considered family design

---

offering a series of beautifully proportioned reception spaces that flow naturally from one to the next, all anchored by an abundance of natural light and the kind of spatial generosity that makes every day at home feel like a true pleasure.

The two reception rooms on the ground floor are both strikingly impressive and individually distinctive. Whether you choose to use them as a formal sitting room and a relaxed family snug, a dedicated playroom and a grown-up lounge, or a home office and an entertaining space

---

the flexibility they offer is extraordinary. Both rooms carry the unmistakable hallmarks of their period origins: original character features such as decorative cornicing, deep skirting boards, high ceilings and statement proportions that immediately elevate these spaces far beyond the realm of the new build or the ordinary family home. These are rooms that feel special

---

rooms that you will find yourself pausing in, simply to appreciate what surrounds you.

At the heart of the ground floor lies the property's most dynamic and sociable space: the large, open-plan kitchen diner. Designed for the realities of modern family life, this spectacular room is the engine room of the home

---

a space that accommodates breakfasts, homework, dinner parties, celebrations and everything in between with equal grace and ease. The kitchen itself is beautifully appointed with modern, quality cabinetry, ample worksurface preparation space and a layout that makes cooking and entertaining genuinely enjoyable. Positioned to capture natural light throughout the day, the kitchen diner is a bright, uplifting and thoroughly welcoming environment that you will simply never want to leave.

Crucially, the kitchen diner opens directly and seamlessly onto the rear garden and patio area

---

creating an effortless indoor-outdoor flow that transforms the entire rear of the home into one magnificent, connected living space. When the sun shines

---

and it does shine in Woodthorpe

---

the patio becomes a natural extension of the kitchen table, a place for al fresco dining, lazy weekend mornings with coffee in hand, or long summer evenings with friends and a glass of something cold. The transition between inside and outside feels entirely intuitive, entirely joyful and entirely the work of a home that has been designed with real living in mind. The rear garden itself is a private, enclosed sanctuary

---

a space for children to play freely, for adults to relax and unwind, and for the whole family to breathe. Beautifully presented patio areas create designated outdoor living and dining zones, providing structure and purpose to the space whilst retaining that essential sense of calm and privacy.

A conveniently located ground floor WC completes the lower level, serving the busiest hours of family life with the practicality and ease that every household demands.

 
First Floor

---

Three Bedrooms, Space, Light & Luxurious Bathing
Ascending to the first floor, the sense of space that defines the ground floor continues upwards without interruption. The staircase and landing are generous and welcoming

---

a reflection of the home's period bones and the broad, unhurried proportions that characterised the very finest domestic architecture of its era.

The three bedrooms on the first floor are each wonderfully proportioned and individually beautiful. What immediately strikes every visitor to these rooms are the large, original windows

---

expansive, characterful and utterly magnificent in the quality and quantity of natural light they invite into every space. Morning sunlight floods these rooms in a way that feels almost theatrical, bringing warmth, energy and a genuine sense of wellbeing to the start of every day. These are bedrooms that feel genuinely spacious

---

rooms where furniture breathes, where children have room to grow and where adults can arrange their personal sanctuary exactly as they choose. Period details continue to delight throughout, with architectural features that provide depth, texture and a sense of history that no modern home could ever hope to match.

The jewel in the first floor's crown is undoubtedly the large, modern family bathroom

---

a stunning, thoughtfully designed space that has been finished to an exceptional standard. At its centrepiece sits an elegant freestanding bath

---

a statement of luxury and considered design that elevates the entire room to something approaching a private spa. The addition of a generously proportioned double shower ensures that the bathroom serves the practical demands of a busy family without ever compromising on style or indulgence. The tiling, fittings and overall finish are immaculate

---

this is a bathroom that will delight first-time viewers and impress for years to come.

 
Second Floor

---

Two Further Bedrooms & A Private Shower Room
The journey upward continues to the second floor

---

and it is here that this property truly reveals the full extent of its remarkable spatial generosity. Two additional well-proportioned bedrooms occupy this top storey, each offering a wonderful sense of quiet seclusion and privacy that upper-floor living uniquely provides. Whether these rooms serve as teenage retreats, a dedicated guest suite, a creative studio, a home office or a study space for growing young minds, their versatility and quality make them among the most desirable rooms in the house.

A dedicated shower room on the second floor provides independent, private facilities for these upper bedrooms

---

ensuring that every member of the family, and every guest, enjoys their own space and comfort without inconvenience. This level of self-sufficiency at the top of the house transforms the second floor into something approaching a private suite

---

an arrangement that growing families and multi-generational households will find quite simply invaluable.

Throughout all three floors of this extraordinary home, it is the overwhelming, consistent feeling of space that remains with you long after your visit. High ceilings. Wide doorways. Generous landings. Deep rooms. Large windows. The kind of proportions that make you exhale with relief and delight the moment you step inside. Space in a home of this scale is not merely a practical convenience

---

it is a fundamental component of daily wellbeing, of mood, of freedom. And in this property, space is present in glorious, generous abundance at every single level.

 
Woodthorpe

---

A Neighbourhood That Has Everything
To live in Woodthorpe is to enjoy one of Nottingham's most genuinely desirable residential addresses

---

and once you experience it, you will never want to leave. Sitting just north of the city and bordered by the equally celebrated neighbourhoods of Sherwood, Mapperley and Arnold, Woodthorpe strikes the perfect balance between peaceful suburban living and effortless urban connectivity.

The tree-lined streets of Woodthorpe are among the most beautiful in Nottingham

---

roads canopied by mature trees that burst with blossom in spring and glow with rich colour in autumn, creating a backdrop of natural beauty that shifts with the seasons and never fails to impress. The streets are safe, the community is tight-knit and warm, and the sense of belonging that residents feel here is something quite tangible and deeply valued.

For families, the educational provision is exceptional. Arno Vale Junior School, Woodthorpe Infant School, The Good Shepherd Primary Catholic Academy, Ernehale Flying High Academy and Arnold Hill Spencer Academy all serve the area with consistently strong Ofsted ratings, and the presence of quality day nurseries ensures that the very youngest members of the family are equally well catered for from the very start.

When it comes to recreation and outdoor life, Woodthorpe Grange Park

---

one of Nottingham's finest and most beloved green spaces

---

is right on your doorstep. Set around the Grade II listed Grange manor house and its stunning formal gardens, the park offers an 18-hole pitch and putt course, expansive grassland, a children's play area with newly upgraded equipment, a tropical house, a picturesque sunken garden and a café. This is a park that the whole family will return to again and again throughout the year, in every season.

Just a short distance away, the vibrant Mapperley Top high street provides everything a modern family could ask for without the need to venture into the city

---

independent cafés, restaurants, supermarkets including Sainsbury's and Co-op, beauty salons, a post office and a wonderful collection of independent businesses that give this community its distinctive, energetic character. Celebrated local venues including the Bread and Bitter pub and a host of independent eateries ensure that evenings out are never more than minutes from the front door.

Nottingham city centre itself is remarkably accessible

---

a swift 15-minute bus ride from Woodthorpe Drive directly into the heart of the city via regular Nottingham City Transport services, or a comfortable short drive along well-connected roads. The motorway network, East Midlands Airport and the wider East Midlands are all within straightforward reach, making Woodthorpe the ideal base for both city workers and frequent travellers alike.
