4 bed bungalow for sale

Woodford Road, Hucknall NG15

Offers over £595,000

beautifully presented throughout...

“Wyoming” has been in the hands of just two families since it was built in the late 1920s, with the current owners representing the fourth generation of the family who purchased it in the 1960s. The origin of the name remains something of a mystery, though the original deeds record the land off Park Drive being sold for development by the Duke of Portland in 1926, with “Wyoming” the first house to be constructed on Woodford Road. The present owners acquired the property from the Woodford family in 1963, which is reflected in the road’s name. This substantial four bedroom, three bathroom detached bungalow is set on the largest plot along the quiet and sought after Woodford Road cul de sac, just off Park Drive and beside Titchfield Park, yet nicely screened for privacy. With a triple garage, generous driveway parking for seven cars and grounds of just over a third of an acre, this is a home that offers both presence and practicality. Opportunities like this are rare. In fact, this is the first time the property has been offered for sale in 62 years, having last changed hands in 1963. Despite its peaceful setting, Woodford Road is only a short walk from the town centre, local shops and tram and train links into Central Nottingham, making it as convenient as it is private. The south facing rear garden is a real feature mature, beautifully landscaped and wonderfully private. One of the most striking views is from the bottom of the garden looking back towards the house, a scene so admired that the family commissioned a painting of it many years ago. Several of the principal rooms also enjoy differing aspects across the garden, bringing light and greenery into the heart of the home. Inside, the sense of space is immediate. A large entrance hall opens into an impressive central hallway with a ceiling height approaching twelve feet and double glazed door leading out to the rear patio. From here, doors flow to the lounge, four bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen, with the dining room accessed via the kitchen, creating a layout that works well for both everyday living and entertaining. The main bathroom, separate shower room and en-suite to the principal bedroom are all finished with contemporary tiling and modern fittings. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with sleek white units, quartz worktops, a peninsula bar and integrated appliances by Neff. The current owners have carried out extensive refurbishment and modernisation to a high standard, while still leaving scope for a new owner to shape the space to their own taste. The property has recently been measured at 166 square metres and holds an EPC rating of C, which is impressive for a house of this era. From the outside the distinctive design, sometimes compared to the shape of a fifty pence piece, gives little away. It is only once inside that the true scale becomes apparent. The generous footprint, combined with substantial roof space and the wide central hall, offers clear potential for a future loft conversion, subject to the usual consents.

Front Garden

The front of the property features a large tarmac driveway with a paved path leading to the front door, providing parking for up to seven cars and access to a triple garage and workshop, which includes one double-length and one single garage, both equipped with lighting and power. A six-foot wooden fence runs along the street boundary, while mature plant and flower borders surround the property, offering a variety of trees, hedges, flowering plants, and bulbs. There is a spacious, secluded, well-lit hard standing area next to the garages, suitable for storage, greenhouses, trailers, or additional vehicle parking. On either side of the house, open panelled fencing with lockable gates provides access to the rear garden.

Rear Garden

The property sits on a generous third-of-an-acre plot, with the rear garden predominantly laid to lawn. Unlike many other homes on Woodford Road, both the house and garden are largely hidden from view from Titchfield Park, shielded by a substantial hedge and mature trees at the far end of the garden, with only the very top of the chimney visible. A new limestone pebble path runs around the perimeter of the house, leading to a covered rear porch fitted with internally switched lighting. Beyond this, a paved patio with planted borders and steps descending to the lawn provides a true “sun trap, ” particularly given the garden’s south-facing aspect, and includes a discreet integrated space for a sun umbrella or parasol. The gentle slope of the garden away from the house allows for far-reaching views of the tall trees in Titchfield Park while offering a charming perspective back up the lawn to the house itself-a view so appealing that the current owners have even captured it in a painting. The garden also features a number of significant mature plants and trees, including an apple tree from the original orchard that once occupied the site of Woodford Road, a large Magnolia, a prominent tree believed to be a Golden Ash, and Rhododendron bushes positioned outside the lounge windows. A small wooded area surrounds a compact concrete outbuilding, accessible but not visible from the lawn or house. Family stories suggest, though unverified, that this structure was originally built as a wwii shelter by the first owners, with its basement later filled in. The garden is also equipped with two outside taps.
