Spacious period house on a secluded plot with renovation potential.
Large detached four-bedroom home with three reception rooms
Set on a deep, secluded plot at the top of Hob Hill, this substantial four-bedroom detached house offers generous rooms, three reception spaces and strong potential for modernisation. The house sits in an attractive semi-rural position with long private driveway, garage, enclosed rear garden and fine countryside views from the first floor. Vacant possession and no onward chain make it straightforward for a buyer to start renovations.
Internally the layout is roomy and well-proportioned: a large reception hallway with parquet flooring, lounge, dining room, versatile sitting room, fitted kitchen, utility and a bathroom plus separate WC upstairs. Built-in wardrobes in all bedrooms and loft access increase everyday practicality. Mains gas central heating, double glazing and a workable garage add to the property's everyday usability.
Important to note: the house needs renovation and updating throughout — cosmetic and some system upgrades are likely, and the double glazing dates from before 2002. There is one main bathroom and a separate WC, which may feel limited for a four-bedroom family. Council tax is described as fairly expensive. Buyers should budget for modernisation and possible reconfiguration to achieve contemporary finishes and maximise value.
This home will suit buyers seeking a sizeable family house in an established, affluent rural community or investors looking to add value through careful refurbishment. Strong local schools (including Ecclesbourne catchment), good road and rail links nearby, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal all support everyday family life while the plot and location offer a quiet country feel.
