Generous single‑floor living, large garden and countryside views — ideal for downsizers.
Large detached bungalow on a substantial west‑facing garden plot
This substantial detached bungalow on Wilmot Drive offers generous single-floor living with flexible rooms across a large plot. Set in the village of Smalley, the property combines mid‑century character with practical updates: a fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, a conservatory overlooking the garden and gas central heating with double glazing.
The layout suits downsizers who want roomy accommodation without stairs to the main living areas. The principal bedroom has an en‑suite, there is a second double bedroom and a versatile extended sitting room that can function as a third bedroom or second reception. A large lounge is split into two areas for formal and casual seating, and a useful utility and storage area have been formed from part of the garage.
Outside is a key selling point: a substantial, well‑landscaped west‑facing garden with patio, vegetable plots and pleasant countryside views. Driveway parking for several cars and remaining garage/storage with electric roller door add practical convenience. Local services and good road links to Derby, the A38 and M1 are close by.
Important factual points: the former garage has been partially converted (utility and storage), the loft space is in use but has no building‑regulation approval to be a bedroom, and the Oak tree in the garden is subject to a Tree Preservation Order. Double glazing was installed before 2002 and appliances/systems have not been tested; purchasers should verify condition and compliance before exchange.
