Description

The three bedroomed bungalow sits in an elevated position with accommodation all on one level and a garage beneath with a large open roof space, which offers potential to convert. The one bedroomed annex to the side is detached, leaving a large garden plot providing extensive parking and plenty of space for extension or to possibly build on, subject to planning.

To the side of the bungalow is a large garage/workshop, tack room/store and a block of three stables.
The paddocks are divided into four sections with two large paddocks and two smaller paddocks.

The woodland is a stunning mix of mature trees, located at the top of the hill. This beautiful spot is currently being used as a film location for a new Dracula movie and they have created a fake tomb on the edge of the wood. On other occasions, the woodland has been used by school groups for less spooky outdoor adventures.

Whittaker Lane is on the edge of the village of Little Eaton, just before Coxbench, off the old Alfreton Road. The Lane itself turns into a footpath and bridleway, part of both the Century Way circular walking route and the Midshires Way, which travels farther afield - you can literally walk for miles across the most stunning countryside the Derwent Valley has to offer.

The village of Little Eaton boasts educational facilities such as Little Eaton Village Primary School and Holbrook Village Primary School nearby, with the property lying within the catchment of the popular Ecclesbourne School. There are several popular village pubs all within a mile of the property, a village shop, a number of eateries, and a locally renowned butcher/deli. The village has an excellent village community with a very active village hall located on the picturesque village sports ground, which sits in the centre opposite the church. There is a good local bus service and the Ecclesbourne School bus stop is close to the house, with easy access into Derby, Belper and Ripley and directly onto the A38 leading to the A50/A52/A610/M1. The nearby villages of Horsley Woodhouse and Duffield offer a further range of amenities and recreational facilities including cricket, bowling, squash and tennis. The property is also close to four noted golf courses and country clubs at Duffield, Horsley, Morley and Breadsall.

The accommodation in brief comprises a spacious entrance hall, lounge, a generous kitchen and large utility room, W.C, three bedrooms and a bathroom, whilst the annexe comprises lounge, kitchen, bedroom and en-suite.

The bungalow sits proudly on an elevated plot with a generous front lawn, along with fields to the side, stables and woodland to the rear. A viewing is strongly advised for this accommodation and its grounds to be fully appreciated.

Please note the annex and the main bungalow are on separate council tax and utilities if you need to obtain a mortgage to buy the property this may limit the number of lenders available please make enquires with a mortgage advisor before making an offer.
