5 Bedroom Detached House

A fantastic opportunity to acquire an imposing FOUR BEDROOM detached period property, extensively restored and reconfigured under current ownership, whilst retaining ample original features dating back to the late 19th Century, when the now substantial family home traded as a bakery. Recent works include the property being largely replastered, a full rewire, a brand new boiler, and new windows and radiators throughout. Ideal for buyers seeking character and comfort, the significantly renovated ground floor living accommodation, enjoying high ceilings and further subtle traditional details, briefly comprises a porch, welcoming entrance hall, spacious dining room/ sitting room showcasing two refurbished fireplaces, lounge, contemporary breakfast kitchen, utility room providing plentiful storage, study/ original pantry, and a modern WC. To the first floor, a galleried landing seamlessly flows into a generous, dual aspect master bedroom, two further double bedrooms, fourth bedroom currently utilised as a home office, newly installed bathroom featuring a freestanding clawfoot roll-top bath, and a separate shower room. Outside, 81 London Road exhibits a sizeable, well-manicured garden, showcasing a sheltered, south easterly aspect entertaining area- enjoying sun throughout the day, children’s play area, and a handy workshop. Accessed via an electric gate off Storcroft Road, resides a secure, blocked paved driveway catering for multiple vehicles, alongside two sheltered car ports, a detached oversized garage, and an additional single garage. Located on the highly regarded London Road in the Georgian market town of Retford, the conveniently placed property enjoys a wealth of everyday amenities, recreational facilities, boutiques, bars, restaurants, and excellent road and rail links in its locality. Bracken Lane Primary Academy and Thrumpton Lane Academy, both having most recently achieved a good Ofsted rating, are within easy reach on foot. For secondary education, Retford Oaks Academy, also having most recently achieved a good Ofsted rating, is just a short drive away. Early viewing is considered essential to fully appreciate the revamped space, and prime town setting being offered for sale.
