About
Situated in the popular village of Willington, this three-bedroom detached family home offers approximately 1,186 sq ft of well-planned and versatile accommodation, with three separate living spaces, an en-suite to the principal bedroom and a south-facing rear garden.
The ground floor has been thoughtfully adapted to work particularly well for family life.
Originally designed with an open-plan living and dining area, a partition wall has been added to create a separate, cosy lounge, providing a comfortable space to relax away from the kitchen and dining areas.
There is also a versatile playroom/home office, ideal for families or those working from home, together with a downstairs WC.
At the heart of the property is the generous kitchen, offering plenty of storage and preparation space along with a central island and integrated dishwasher.
The kitchen leads through to the separate dining room, where patio doors open directly onto the south-facing rear garden, creating a lovely connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces.
A separate utility room houses an integrated washing machine and tumble dryer, as well as the boiler, which was installed in 2021.
Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with its own en-suite featuring a walk-in shower.
The remaining bedrooms are served by the family bathroom, which was refitted in 2021.
Outside, the property benefits from a driveway providing off-road parking and an enclosed rear garden enjoying a desirable southerly aspect.
The garden offers a combination of lawn and patio, providing plenty of space for children to play, outdoor dining and entertaining. The location is another real highlight.
The property is within walking distance of Willington Primary School and the centre of the village, with its range of amenities and popular pubs.
For those who enjoy getting outdoors, the Trent & Mersey Canal provides lovely walks from the village, including along the towpath towards Mercia Marina, with its cafés, restaurants, independent shops and waterside setting.
With its flexible ground-floor accommodation, family-friendly garden and excellent village location, the property offers a home that works equally well for everyday family life, entertaining and working from home.
