About
Full of character and charm, this beautifully extended and modernised four-bedroom detached home, originally built in the early 1900s, offers a perfect blend of period elegance and contemporary comfort.
Set on the highly desirable Bretby Lane in Burton-on-Trent, the property enjoys a peaceful semi-rural setting while remaining close to local amenities, reputable schools, and excellent transport links.
Upon entering, you are welcomed by a generous hallway with space for coats, shoes, and seating - a practical yet inviting introduction to the home.
The central staircase divides two spacious front reception rooms.
To the right, the main living room features a large front-aspect window allowing plenty of natural light and a charming feature fireplace that creates a cosy focal point.
To the left, an equally impressive additional reception room provides versatility, ideal for use as a formal sitting room, games room, or family living space.
Stretching across the rear of the property, the open-plan kitchen diner is a true highlight.
The shaker-style kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units, a double eye-level oven, gas hob, extractor fan, integrated dishwasher, and dedicated space for a washing machine.
Expansive worktops extend into a stylish L-shaped breakfast bar, providing casual dining or entertaining space.
The kitchen overlooks the rear garden, offering a picturesque view while cooking or hosting.
The dining area comfortably accommodates a large family table and chairs, creating the perfect setting for family meals or gatherings.
Off this area, a practical utility space and downstairs WC provide additional convenience, with access leading directly out to the rear garden.
A useful pantry and generous under-stairs storage further enhance functionality on the ground floor.
Upstairs, a spacious landing leads to four generously sized double bedrooms, each offering bright, airy accommodation and views of open fields or surrounding greenery.
The principal bedroom features fitted wardrobes, a dedicated dressing area, and an en-suite shower room comprising a shower cubicle, WC, and hand wash basin.
The remaining bedrooms are all exceptionally well-proportioned, easily accommodating double beds and additional furnishings, making them perfect for family living or guest accommodation.
The family bathroom serves these bedrooms and is beautifully fitted with a freestanding bath, a double shower cubicle, WC, and a vanity unit with hand wash basin.
Outside, the property boasts a fantastic garden - predominantly laid to lawn with two patio seating areas, mature borders, and hedging providing a private and tranquil outdoor space.
To the front, there is ample driveway parking along with a well-kept lawn and access to the garage, which offers excellent space for a vehicle or additional storage.
Bretby Lane is one of Burton-on-Trent's most sought-after residential addresses, known for its mix of character homes and peaceful setting.
The area enjoys a semi-rural feel with countryside walks nearby, yet remains within easy reach of Burton town centre, local shops, restaurants, and schools.
