Full Details for 3 Bedroom Detached for sale in Derby, DE73 :
* CIVIC AWARD for RENOVATION 2006 * This lovely, three-bedroomed period cottage was previously a weaver's cottage and a butcher's shop before it was tastefully fully renovated in the early 2000s and now provides good-sized accommodation for a growing family. The character home boasts several original features including a cast iron open fireplace (for display only), a multi-fuel stove, Yorkshire sliding windows and beamed ceilings. There's a superb 18ft. fitted dining kitchen and a useful cellar. Take a look inside and you'll find: an entrance lobby, beamed lounge, a family room/snug, cellar, dining kitchen with adjoining utility room, a downstairs cloakroom/w.c., three generous bedrooms (all with high ceilings) and a bathroom. Outside, there's a paved patio, shaped lawned area, two brick outbuildings and parking to the rear for two cars. Viewing of this desirable home is enthusiastically recommended.
THE LOCATION
MELBOURNE (the name means 'mill on the brook' or 'a mill stream') is a small attractive Georgian market town in a delightful part of South Derbyshire set in rolling countryside and is situated midway between the major city of Derby in the north and the bustling town of Ashby-de-la-Zouch in the south. The town contains a wide range of shops, pubs and restaurants and there are several good schools in the area. The property has good access to the A50, the M1 and M42 motorways, making it within easy reach of many Midland towns and cities. The East Midlands airport can be reached by car within fifteen minutes, and the railway station at East Midlands Parkway about ten minutes further.
