Cottage for sale in Derby DE24, 4 Bedroom

Built as a farmhouse in the early 1800s, this house has been lovingly restored to a condition where you can move straight in. The location combines city and country - 3 miles from Derby, a 10 minute walk to local supermarkets, yet open countryside with bridleways, cycle tracks and footpaths are equally close at hand.

With three reception rooms to the ground floor along with a modern kitchen there is plenty of space for the whole family. The living room has a log burner which makes it lovely and snug during the winter months. With original stripped and waxed doors with the door furniture still intact from the 19th century, there is plenty of character left in the home.

Having two staircases to the first floor, it allows the bedroom off of the left staircase to be used as either a master bedroom and private bathroom or as a great guest room being separate from the remaining of the first floor of the home. With three other bedrooms to the first floor, there is a beautiful four piece suite family bathroom too.

Remnants of the past remain - a cattle feeding shed exists in the garden and is ripe for conversion (subject to the usual planning consents) for gym, annex or teenage den. Being lovely and private it is a great family space for everyone to use.

For families, a nursery and Redwood Primary School are very practical to the location of the home, and it is just a 10 minute drive to the Derby Ring Road and A38 making it great for commuters.
