Description

Occupying an exceptional plot of approximately 1 acre, Red Roofs is a substantial four-bedroom detached family home offering outstanding potential for modernisation, extension and redevelopment, subject to the necessary consents. Set within extensive mature gardens, this unique property presents a rare opportunity to create a truly impressive family residence in one of Thornaby’s most sought-after locations.

The property is approached via a generous driveway providing ample off-street parking for numerous vehicles and leading to a double garage with electric door, together with a further single garage. The attractive front garden is laid mainly to lawn and complemented by a variety of mature shrubs, trees and planting.

Internally, the accommodation is spacious and well-proportioned throughout. An entrance porch leads into an impressive reception hall featuring original wood panelling, a striking staircase and useful storage cupboard. The ground floor accommodation further comprises a cloakroom/WC, a large lounge with attractive bay windows overlooking the gardens, a separate dining room, study and a kitchen/breakfast room.

To the first floor are four well-sized bedrooms, three of which benefit from fitted wardrobes, together with a family bathroom and separate WC.

The extensive rear gardens are undoubtedly one of the property’s most impressive features. Enjoying a high degree of privacy, the grounds are laid predominantly to lawn and enhanced by a wide variety of mature trees and shrubs, creating a delightful setting for family life and outdoor entertaining. The gardens also benefit from two additional brick-built storage sheds.

Although requiring some updating, Red Roofs offers tremendous scope for purchasers to refurbish and potentially extend the existing accommodation to suit their own requirements, whilst enjoying the benefits of an outstanding plot and established grounds.

Red Roofs occupies a highly desirable position on Bassleton Lane, one of Thornaby’s most established and sought-after residential locations. The property enjoys a peaceful setting whilst remaining conveniently placed for a wide range of local amenities, including shops, supermarkets, cafés, highly regarded schools and leisure facilities.

The property offers excellent transport links, with easy access to the A19 and A66 providing convenient connections throughout Teesside and beyond. Thornaby Railway Station is also within easy reach, offering regular services to Middlesbrough, York and London.

For those who enjoy outdoor pursuits, the nearby Tees Barrage, Preston Park and the River Tees provide attractive recreational opportunities, whilst the vibrant centres of Stockton-on-Tees, Yarm and Middlesbrough offer an excellent selection of shopping, dining and entertainment facilities.

Combining a substantial private plot with a convenient and well-connected location, Red Roofs presents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of significant character and potential in an established residential setting.
