Detached house
DRAFT DETAILS - AWAITING VENDOR APPROVAL
Hillcrest is an attractive traditionally built three bedroomed detached house in need of full renovation and sits on a broadly rectangular smallholding extending to approximately 3 acres, running adjacent to Alfreton Road and may lend itself to residential development opportunity subject to the usual planning consents.
The property is approached via a five bar timber gate with driveway culminating to an extensive parking area with a single brick built detached garage. The property is constructed of traditional brick beneath a pitched tiled roof and retains some original features and requires a full scheme of improvement and upgrading throughout. The character accommodation in brief comprises entrance porch, hallway with staircase to first floor, full depth lounge, separate dining room, breakfast kitchen room and a large pantry. To the first floor landing there are three well proportioned bedrooms, bathroom and separate wc. The grounds are mainly overgrown with a range of specimen trees, a mature boundary hedge and paddocks. We understand in the past the property has been a smallholding and may well still lend itself to run a small business (stpc).
The small and pleasant village of Westhouses has a useful range of amenities including local primary school, public houses, independent shops and is situated within a short commute of the historic market town of Alfreton which has a more comprehensive range of amenities and is positioned just off the A38 which provides swift access onto the M1 motorway.
The sale provides a genuine opportunity for a discerning purchaser looking to acquire a family home offering excellent potential in a pleasant semi-rural village location.

The grounds are mainly overgrown and we understand the property was formerly a smallholding and may lend itself to run further small businesses (stpc). In our opinion there is also potential redevelopment opportunity (stpc).
