Summary - 3, The Watermeadows, Swarkestone DE73 7FX
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Peaceful views, large walled garden and substantial parking near Derby.
Detached converted farmhouse with exposed beams and character features
Set within the peaceful village of Swarkestone, this converted former farm building offers a comfortable family layout and genuine countryside appeal. The house blends exposed beams, oak detailing and a large fitted kitchen with a rare David Salisbury garden room that overlooks open fields and the fully walled, landscaped garden. Practical benefits include an integral garage, wide driveway with parking for two to three cars and mains gas central heating.
The ground floor provides flexible living — study/bedroom four, spacious lounge/diner with a log-burning stove, dining kitchen and utility room — while the first floor hosts three double bedrooms, fitted wardrobes, an ensuite and a refitted family bathroom. The property is well presented but dates from a late-1980s conversion, so buyers seeking contemporary finishes may wish to update some fixtures and fittings to personal taste.
Important practical considerations: the home sits in a medium flood-risk zone and local crime levels are reported as high; council tax is described as expensive. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal average. The plot is large and private, making the house especially appealing to families who value outdoor space and rural outlooks but buyers should factor flood risk and local crime into their decision.
Overall this detached home suits a family wanting characterful living, flexible accommodation and strong outdoor amenity close to Derby and commuter routes. It offers immediate comfort with scope for modest modernisation to reflect a buyer’s style.
