Cherry Heights is a substantial five-bedroom detached home set in approximately 1.3 acres, tucked away at the end of a private drive. The house offers generous family accommodation across two storeys: a double-height entrance hall, three reception rooms, a large fitted kitchen with bi-fold doors, five double bedrooms and four en‑suites. The property sits in an elevated, heavily treed setting providing strong privacy and wide views towards Allestree Park and Quarndon.
Outside, the plot delivers notable driveway parking, a three-car garage, paved terraces, a decked seating area with pond and mature, tiered lawns. The balcony and multiple patio doors create good flow for entertaining and take full advantage of the outlook. The site is in a desirable catchment for The Ecclesbourne School and is a short drive from Little Eaton village amenities and Derby city services.
Practical points to note: the home is heated by an LPG boiler with an on‑site tank, broadband speeds are reported slow, and the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated. The construction dates (c.1967–1975) and energy rating (E) indicate potential for energy-efficiency improvements. Council tax is described as quite expensive. These factors make the house particularly suitable for a family seeking space, privacy and scope to modernise rather than a buyer seeking a zero-maintenance, fully modern EPC-rated property.
In summary, this is a high-value, private family residence with significant grounds and elegant principal rooms. Buyers should value the plot, internal space and school catchment but be prepared to invest in insulation, energy upgrades and modern broadband if required.
