Summary - HILLTOP FARM COTTAGE MAIN STREET OAKTHORPE SWADLINCOTE DE12 7RB
4 bed 2 bath Link Detached House
Spacious four-bed village home with double garage and private courtyard garden, ideal for families and home workers..
Four bedrooms; master bedroom with en‑suite bathroom.
Hilltop Farm Cottage is a generous four-bedroom family home set tucked away from Main Street in Oakthorpe. Rebuilt in 2006 from reclaimed brick, the property blends period charm with modern convenience: a large living/dining kitchen, three reception rooms and a master bedroom with en‑suite. Ground-floor zonal underfloor heating, a 2020 boiler and replacement external doors and windows installed in 2023 add practical comfort.
The detached double garage includes a 2023-finished home office/hobbies room above, offering genuine work-from-home potential. Previously granted planning for a business on the upper floor, that permission has now lapsed—useful if you want to reapply. The courtyard garden is private and low-maintenance, with two useful outbuildings and off-street parking leading from the driveway.
Important practical points: the house uses oil-fired central heating and an LPG tank is on site. The external walls are solid brick with no known cavity insulation (assumed), which may affect running costs and future insulation work. Council Tax sits at Band E, above average for the area.
For families, Oakthorpe delivers village calm with essential amenities, a good primary school and low crime. Commuters can reach the A42 relatively easily. Overall, this is a comfortable, characterful home with flexible spaces for family life and home working, though buyers should plan for fuel and insulation considerations.
