Italianate Villa In Park Terrace, Nottingham, NG1

A Grade II listed Italianate villa set in Nottingham’s première residential location and within easy walking distance of the city centre. Perhaps the finest example of Regency architecture within the locality, featuring painted stucco facades and classical detailing, it is one of the original houses of The Park development. Drawing inspiration from John Nash’s iconic London terraces with substantial overhanging modilion eaves above which there is a parapet wall with balusters and panels of Greek Key, this villa brims with character at every turn. A three-year full schedule of works has sympathetically restored the property back to a family residence, with further planning permission granted by Nottingham City Council for a spa to the lower ground floor and a roof extension to the 5th floor.

Set in the prestigious Park Estate on the highly sought after Park Terrace, with a number of leisure facilities including a tennis club, bowls and squash club also within the estate, and Nottingham Castle only a short walk. The private estate sits within easy reach of excellent schooling to include the Nottingham High School and is also convenient for the city’s Universities and hospital complexes.
