Well placed in Darley Abbey and within the Ecclesbourne School catchment, this extended three-bedroom detached home offers family-friendly living with a strong focus on social space. The ground-floor extension creates an impressive L-shaped open-plan kitchen and living area that opens onto a private south-facing garden — ideal for children and outdoor entertaining. A separate lounge and small study add useful flexible space for home working or relaxation.
Practical features include a detached garage, adjacent driveway, double glazing, mains gas central heating and an air-conditioning unit in the living/dining area. The plot is larger than average for the street, with well-screened front and side gardens and secure rear access. Local amenities, parkland, cafés by the River Derwent and regular bus routes to Derby city centre are all within easy reach.
The house was built in the late 1960s–1970s and benefits from filled cavity walls with external insulation, but some rooms (bedrooms and study) are compact compared with the generous living/dining space. The property is presented in largely good order but, given its era, buyers should expect routine updating in some areas to reflect modern finishes and personal taste. Council Tax Band C and freehold tenure are convenient for family budgeting.
This home will suit families who prioritise open-plan communal space, a private south-facing garden and excellent local schools. It also offers scope for further internal reconfiguration or cosmetic improvement if you want to add value or tailor the layout to your needs.
