Period home ready for makeover, close to Needwood Forest

A 4 bedroom period property with outstanding potential, close to the sought after village of Rangemore, in Needwood Forest, has been launched to the market by Balfours.

Blackpits, is found in East Staffordshire, 6 miles from Burton-upon-Trent. This Victorian Villa is not only full of character but enjoys a wonderfully tranquil location set within a large garden, a generous pond and mature trees. All this, yet also within commuting distance of the cities of Derby, Nottingham and Birmingham.

The arrival is to a large gravel area, the front door beckons with porch and hallway, off to either side are 2 reception rooms, each with fireplace, glazing to 2 aspects and 1 with French doors. Further down the hall is the dining room and onwards to the kitchen with quarry tile floor and an external side door.

Balfours head of sales, Alistair Hilton, comments: “The rooms are not only generous in size but have high ceilings and as a result are full of character. Upstairs is no different with feature fireplaces in 3 of the bedrooms adding to the individuality of this period home. Currently, there is a full bathroom suite, with an additional separate WC.

“Blackpits is one of those that would suit those seeking a forever home, to design the way they want their home to work for them, while enjoying the appeal of a Victorian Villa,” Alistair adds.
