Set within about two acres on the edge of Denby village, Dumbles Cottage combines period character with modern family living. The main house offers an open-plan kitchen/dining/living hub with high ceilings and skylights, three double bedrooms including a principal suite with walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, plus three reception rooms and a conservatory that faces south over the garden. A newly rebuilt detached two-bedroom annexe and double garage add flexibility for relatives, home working or rental income.
The grounds are a major asset: mature trees, lawns, paved patio with pergola, vegetable beds, greenhouse, fishpond, children's play area and a woodland boundary provide privacy and outdoor variety. Practical services include LPG central heating from an on‑site 2,000-litre tank, mains electricity and water, fast fibre broadband and 5G mobile coverage. Commuters can reach Derby and Nottingham within reasonable driving times and the M1 is accessible.
Important practical points to note: the property uses private drainage (septic tank), has an EPC rating of E and a relatively high Council Tax band F. The house construction dates to the 1930s–40s with solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated), and there is an infrequently used public footpath crossing part of the garden. Local crime levels are above average. Buyers should factor potential upgrading or insulation work and septic maintenance into running costs.
