Set directly onto Allestree Park and Lake, this extensively renovated detached home offers flexible family living over three floors. The principal living spaces — lounge and bespoke open-plan kitchen/dining/snug — take full advantage of lake views and a large porcelain sun terrace. A private landscaped garden with direct park access creates an exceptional outdoor setting for children and weekend walks.
Accommodation is versatile: four main bedrooms upstairs (with en suite and walk-in wardrobe) plus additional rooms on lower levels that could provide two extra bedrooms, a cinema, study, gym/games room and substantial basement storage/workshop with power and lighting. A separate bakery with utility and shower room provides clear potential for annex-style living, subject to any necessary consents.
Practical features include a large driveway for about six vehicles with an EV charger, recent renovation throughout, gas central heating and double glazing. The location is very convenient for local schools, shops and transport links into Derby and beyond, while the site sits in a very low-crime, affluent area with no reported flood risk.
Points to note: the house is arranged over three floors, which may not suit limited mobility buyers, and the property carries a Council Tax Band E (above average costs). The bakery/annex area may require planning or adaptation for full independent use; there are no dated records for glazing installations provided. Overall, this is a strong family home with exceptional park-side position and significant flexible space.
