Penarth Rise, Nottingham, NG5

This is one of those amazing houses that you must see to believe. When you drive up the homely residential street in the established family area you arrive outside what seems to be a bungalow home. There is off street parking, a garage, and a rather nice little lawn. Its only when you step in the front door that you will realise, and immediately fall in love with, the fantastic design of this home.

Once inside the front door the whole character of the house changes. You will find yourself in a longer than expected hallway that takes you into a house that is full of surprises. In front of you are the stairs down to the main living spaces and behind those a further staircase to the master bedroom. To your left you will find a double bedroom with more than enough room for storage and a desk. Further along the corridor you find two more single bedrooms, again with plenty of space, as well as a good sized family bathroom.

Taking the stairs up reveals an unexpected delight. At the top of the stairs there is an eaves storage space that is currently hosting a bookshelf but could have multiple uses. From there you reach the impressively sized master bedroom. This is a beautiful space with room for wardrobes, dressing tables or other bedroom furniture. At almost 5 metres wide this really deserves the title master bedroom. Not only is the bedroom itself impressive, it also has an ensuite featuring a full size bathtub WC and basin.

Heading back through the entrance hall the surprises continue because descending the gently curved stairs you find yourself into a fantastic living space. There is room here for plump sofas to section off the central space into a cosy family area. The feature fireplace and wall mounted shelves give it a homely, welcoming feel. You can imagine a family gathering here to just enjoy each other’s company. That said, this area has the potential to be anything you want it to be from comfy family den to open, modern, design. An arch leads to a smaller dining area with enough room for a dining table and chairs. The wall cupboards, shelves and a roomy under stairs storage space are also accessed from here.

On your right you will find the door to the almost 5-meter long family kitchen with casual dining area, fitted units and frankly impressive amounts of worksurfaces, cupboard and floor space. The five-burner range and multiple ovens will please even the most adventurous of cooks. At one end of the kitchen a door leads out the garden area and a downstair toilet.

Back in the main area you go through the sliding doors into a brightly lit conservatory. Again space is very much a feature with room enough for two double sofa and perhaps a desk area. It is once you go into the conservatory that you really see the beauty of this unusual design. The house is built to take advantage of the gentle slope in the garden and the front elevation is only the top of the house. From the conservatory there are magnificent views over the trees and down to the houses below.

Just when you thought the house had no more delights to show you it has a little more magic to pull out of the hat. The multi-level garden has green spaces, 2 raised decking areas so large that one currently hosts a trampoline, and a final lower area where the current owners keep chickens.

Is if all that wasn’t enough, the house is fully double glazed, with gas central heating and has been well cared for by the current owners. It has great transport links in and out of Nottingham with good schools nearby and it is in walking distance of Sherwood and Mapperley with their bars and restaurants.

Nothing we could put in a description would do justice to this amazing residence, so we highly recommend you arrange to see it a soon as possible before this gem of a house is snapped up.
