Summary - 1A MAIN STREET LOCKINGTON DERBY DE74 2RH
2 bed 1 bath House
Characterful two-bedroom cottage with long private garden and off-street parking.
Georgian brick cottage with exposed beams and period character
A charming two-bedroom heritage cottage dating from circa 1876, set in a quiet conservation village location. Original features include exposed beams, two generous reception rooms and Georgian brick elevations under Staffordshire blue tiles, giving the house immediate period character and curb appeal. The property benefits from gas central heating, off-street parking and a long, mature rear garden of approximately 40m with greenhouse — ideal for keen gardeners or anyone wanting private outdoor space.
Practical outbuildings include a single-storey workshop and useful storage buildings. Internally the layout is flexible: a fitted kitchen, downstairs bathroom with separate shower and a cloakroom on the first floor add convenience for everyday living. The house is spacious at about 1,053 sq ft and sits in a low council tax Band B, which will appeal to downsizers or couples seeking a manageable village home with character.
There are a few important matters to note before viewing. The property is constructed with solid brick walls and, as-built, no cavity insulation — upgrading thermal performance may be required to improve comfort and energy costs. The house has a recorded flying freehold with the neighbouring 5 Main Street; prospective buyers should review deed details. Flood risk is medium for the area and broadband speeds are average. Tenure is not specified in the information provided and should be confirmed.
Overall this cottage offers authentic period charm, a substantial private garden and practical parking — a strong proposition for buyers prepared to carry out modest improvements to modernise insulation and services while preserving the building’s character.
