The Property

A rare opportunity for the discerning purchaser to acquire a superior, three-storey character detached home, with excellent potential for further development by way of a single building plot to the eastern side of the property, and subject to obtaining the relevant planning, in a little-known, yet desirable, residential location convenient for local amenities. We understand that the property was constructed in 1906, and the existing vendors have been in occupation for approximately forty-five years. We further understand that planning permission was granted, conditionally, on two occasions under references and 03/04/00587 with Derby City Council. However, we believe both permissions have now lapsed.

The property is of extremely spacious proportions, with many character features, and is approached via the side canopy entrance porch, to the enclosed entrance vestibule, with reception hall, cloaks/WC, front lounge, separate dining room, large rear sitting room, breakfast kitchen, utility/laundry room, and boiler room. To the first floor is the master bedroom with large en-suite bathroom, a further three bedrooms, family bathroom, and separate WC. To the second floor are a further two bedrooms, and walk-in box room, which offers potential for conversion subject to planning. Outside, the property enjoys a site of over one-quarter of an acre (1,175 sqm.) or thereabouts, comprising mature front, side and rear gardens, together with ample car standing spaces, and two single garages.

Location

The property enjoys a much sought-after, and well-established, mature residential location fronting Whitaker Road, close to Burton Road, which provides a regular bus service operating to Derby city centre. We understand the property falls within the catchment area of Littleover Community School, with Derby High School and Derby Grammar School also within close proximity. The property is also within walking distance of the Littleover village amenities, and is highly convenient for access to the Royal Derby Hospital. Derbys' ring road systems are easily accessible, which affords easy access to the A38 and A50 for commuting further afield.

Directions

When leaving Derby city centre by vehicle, proceed along Burton Road towards Littleover, turning left before the ring road traffic lights into Whitaker Road, to find the property on the left-hand side.
