Character-filled village home with generous garden and family layout.
Five-bedroom Georgian detached cottage dating from the 1830s
Set in the highly desirable village of Quarndon, this 1830s five-bedroom detached cottage combines original Georgian character with comfortable family living. Rooms are generously proportioned around a welcoming farmhouse-style kitchen with a gas Aga, two reception rooms with log-burning stoves, and period features such as exposed beams, feature fireplaces and a walk-in bay window. The property sits on a decent plot with a large paved patio, well-stocked mature borders and a lawned garden backing onto countryside.
Practical strengths include a single-car garage with internal access, cellar storage, double glazing installed after 2002, mains gas central heating and fast broadband — useful for home working. The location is a strong draw: low crime, affluent hamlet setting, good local amenities and schools (including Ecclesbourne School catchment) with easy access to Derby and the A38/A50/A52 routes.
Notable considerations: the house has two bathrooms for five bedrooms, and the garage is single-width (4.80m x 2.34m). Walls have partial cavity insulation (assumed) so further insulation or energy-improvement works may be beneficial. Council tax is described as expensive. Purchasers should allow for typical maintenance and sympathetic updating to retain period finishes while improving energy performance where required.
This cottage will suit families seeking a character home in a peaceful village with generous outside space and local schooling, or buyers wanting a period property with scope to enhance energy efficiency and layout for modern living.
