Summary - Babbs Lane, Doveridge, Derbyshire DE6 5JT
3 bed 2 bath Cottage
Generous private gardens and far-reaching rural views ideal for family life.
Detached late-Victorian red-brick cottage with period features
A late-Victorian red-brick cottage set back from a narrow rural lane, this three-bedroom freehold property combines original character with practical upgrades. The house retains period features — exposed beams, open fireplaces and attractive sash-style windows — alongside newer UPVC double glazing and a log-burning stove that adds warmth and atmosphere.
Set on a generous, mature plot with extensive lawns, established borders and mature trees, the garden provides a private, country outlook over adjoining arable fields. The conservatory and multiple reception rooms create flexible living space for family life, while a ground-floor bedroom offers adaptable use as a study or guest room.
The location offers quiet rural living with easy access to the A50 for commuting and nearby village amenities in Doveridge. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, and local schools are rated good, making the home practical for families or buyers seeking a countryside base.
Internally the cottage has scope for modernisation to suit contemporary tastes; the footprint is moderate compared with the large plot, so buyers should expect to update some finishes to fully unlock the property’s potential. The private drive and substantial hedging deliver good seclusion, but access is along a narrow lane which could be restrictive for larger vehicles.
