4 bed semi-detached house for sale

Lorne Grove, Radcliffe-On-Trent, Nottingham NG12

Built around 1910, this striking Edwardian semi-detached home is a beautiful example of the period’s architecture, combining original character with thoughtful modern enhancements. In 2012, the property underwent a substantial programme of extension and modernisation, including the creation of the impressive open plan dining kitchen, the addition of a garage, and the replacement of most windows. Designed by Tracey Longworth and completed by Regency Builders, the works have been carried out to a high standard, blending contemporary convenience with period charm.

Retaining many original features, such as high ceilings and decorative wrought iron fireplaces in all four bedrooms, the house offers a welcoming balance of elegance and comfort. Well-proportioned rooms, including a sitting room, dining room, and a large open plan dining kitchen, provide excellent flexibility, while off-street parking, a generous rear garden, and close proximity to the village centre make this an exceptional family home.

Welcome Home

Double wooden doors open into a charming porch, complete with a tiled floor in keeping with the era of the property. From here, a striking stained glass front door leads into the reception hall, where an engineered oak floor flows through to the ground floor rooms. Stairs rise to the first floor, and an understairs cupboard provides practical storage. A door opens into the cloakroom, fitted with a sensor light, tiled floor, wash hand basin and WC.

To the front of the property lies the formal sitting room, a warm and inviting space featuring a large bay window that floods the room with natural light. A multi-fuel burner set beneath a wood mantelpiece with slate hearth forms a focal point, creating a cosy atmosphere.

The engineered oak flooring continues into the formal dining room, positioned at the heart of the home. Currently used as a study, this versatile space could also serve as a snug or playroom. Glass doors open directly into the open plan dining kitchen, while a wood fireplace surround adds further character.

Spanning the entire rear of the property is the showpiece open plan dining living kitchen, extended and fitted in 2012. Designed as the heart of the home, this bright and spacious area is enhanced by a vaulted ceiling with Velux windows and a set of French patio doors framed within a large apex window, providing uninterrupted views over the garden. The generous dining area features a large fitted cupboard, ideal for housing crockery, while a comfortable sitting area is positioned to take advantage of the garden outlook.

The kitchen, installed by Unlimited Kitchens of Cotgrave, is fitted with light grey modern shaker units, pewter handles, and black speckled granite worktops. An island incorporates an inset ceramic sink, integrated dishwasher, breakfast bar seating for three, and ample storage. Appliances include two ovens—one neff and one bosch—a six-ring gas hob with stainless steel backsplash and neff extractor, and space for a freestanding American fridge freezer. A walk-in cupboard with tiled floor provides shelved storage with power points, perfect for keeping small appliances neatly out of sight.

A utility room to the rear of the kitchen offers further shelving, space for a stacked washing machine and tumble dryer, and a tiled floor.
