* 31 LEONARD AVENUE IS, UNQUESTIONABLY ONE OF THE FINER EXAMPLES OF A PERIOD SEMI DETACHED HOME THAT WE HAVE HAD THE PLEASURE OF MARKETING FOR SOME TIME. This quality home stands on what traditionally has been one of Sherwoods most desirable roads. Given the speed of our most recent sales on the road it definitely continues to be so. The property offers considerable charm and character. Quality additions and works of modernisation and improvement have been carried out in a style that is faithful to the original such as the timber double glazing and “Karndean” floor finishes. These works amongst numerous others serve to enhance the retained period features such as cast iron fireplaces and create an extremely desirable property. If this weren’t enough it has tremendous kerb appeal due to its architectural features as well as delightful, very generous rear garden too.
* The accommodation comprises as follows, Ground Floor: entrance porch, entrance hall, sitting room, dining room, cellar and an 18ft plus long breakfast kitchen which is well fitted and includes built in appliances. First Floor: landing, three good size bedrooms, bathroom and separate w.c. The property also benefits from gas central heating as well the aforementioned quality timber double glazing.
* Advantageously located in a very popular residential area. Standing on a tree lined avenue with similar, quality period homes. Set back from the road behind brick and sandstone walls. The property is approximately 0.5 mile/ten minute walk of the very well served centre of Sherwood. It is also only around a ten minute drive to Nottingham city centre with regular public transport services from Hucknall (A611) and Mansfield Roads (A60)
