NO ONWARD CHAIN – SOUGHT-AFTER LOCATION – IDEAL FAMILY HOME

A fantastic opportunity to purchase this attractive family home, situated in a highly regarded and sought-after area.

The property is returning to the market following a previous chain-related sale which unfortunately did not proceed due to circumstances elsewhere in the chain. The onward chain has now been removed, meaning the property is offered with no onward chain and could be particularly appealing to buyers looking for a quicker and more straightforward move.

Offering well-proportioned accommodation in a desirable family-friendly location, with excellent local amenities, schools and transport links close by, this is a home that deserves early attention.

Located in the heart of Derby, just off Kedleston Road, this exceptional four-bedroom period residence seamlessly combines classic Victorian elegance with contemporary comfort. Gas central heating and a wealth of original features, carefully preserved and restored, complement the property’s generous proportions and sophisticated interiors.

The current owners have invested considerable attention to detail in the presentation of this family home, resulting in a residence that exudes both character and refinement and must be appreciated in person.

Accommodation in brief comprises a striking Minton-tiled entrance hall, where a galleried staircase rises gracefully to the first floor. The ground floor further offers a formal lounge, a generous dining room, and a wooden double-glazed conservatory that connects seamlessly to the kitchen and separate breakfast room, complete with a multi-fuel stove, creating an ideal setting for both family life and entertaining. On the first floor, a refined landing leads to three well-appointed bedrooms, including the master suite with a newly installed en-suite shower room, complemented by a re-fitted family bathroom. A further staircase ascends to a substantial attic double bedroom, providing versatile accommodation.

Externally, the property benefits from a larger-than-average lawned garden with well-stocked borders, gated side access, and convenient on-street parking on White Street.

This property offers excellent scope for future enhancement, with precedent already established for extension and reconfiguration. Previous planning consent was granted (now lapsed) for a ground floor rear extension incorporating a utility room and ground floor WC, demonstrating the potential to thoughtfully enlarge the existing accommodation, subject to the necessary consents. In addition, further planning approval was granted to create a generous master suite at top-floor level, highlighting the flexibility of the property to adapt to evolving lifestyle needs. Copies of the former planning applications and associated architectural drawings are available upon request, providing prospective purchasers with a valuable starting point for any future development plans.

A Word From The Owner - We enjoy living in the Six Streets community and benefit from yearly advent window displays, carol singers, arts trails and yard sales. There’s an abundance of local amenities, including The Creeky Floorboard pub, Point Six café, pharmacy and tasty fish and chips. The local primary school is excellent and Markeaton and Darley parks are both within short walking distance. The city centre with its theatre, Quad cinema and art galleries is a 15 minute walk away. It’s a great place to bring up children with such a friendly community and everything on your doorstep.
