The Ideal Family Home If You’re Looking For An Easy Life. It’s easy to get the kids to school in the morning. Easy to head off to work on the M1. Easy to make yourselves at home. Moving into this immaculate five bedroom family home will be a breeze.

Since being built in around 2009 this small estate in a quiet village has become very popular with families. And it’s easy to see why.

It’s located in a Derbyshire countryside sweet spot that feels rural but you can be heading down the M1 in less than 10 minutes. 

Families with school-age children will appreciate being so close to a choice of great schools. School run stress will become a thing of the past as Blackwell Primary School (rated “Good” by Ofsted) is only 6 minutes walk away.

Older kids have a little further to travel to Tibshelf Community School (another “Good” school) but it’s still only a 6 minute drive or 15 minute bike ride away.

If you’re juggling the conflicting demands of work and a hectic family life, the last thing you'll want to do on the weekend is strip wallpaper.

Thankfully this substantial family home is in great condition and ready to move into. You wouldn’t even need to lift a paintbrush.

For a modern home it has quite a traditional ground floor layout. There’s a spacious lounge, a separate dining room and study then a modern fitted kitchen / breakfast room.

Everything is immaculate and the kitchen is particularly attractive, managing to feel modern yet at the same giving off a friendly country kitchen vibe.

You really wouldn’t have a thing to do when you moved in. Then again, if you had the vision and the budget you could open up the ground floor to create a more sociable layout.

There’s plenty of room to extend at the rear (as many of the neighbours have done). This could allow you to create a stunning space to cook, eat and relax together as a family.

The first floor has three bedrooms and three bathrooms - so there should be no queues or tantrums in the morning as everyone is getting ready for work and school.

The spacious master bedroom has fitted wardrobes and a stylish en-suite. The two bedrooms at the rear share a Jack & Jill shower room. Then there’s the family bathroom for when only a relaxing soak will do.

The top floor has two further double bedrooms and a further shower room.

The west facing back garden is all about the easy life again. It’s low maintenance and designed to be enjoyed when the sun’s out rather than becoming a weekend chore. 

There’s a tiled patio nearest the house, a small artificial lawn and a covered seating area at the rear. There’s even a substantial log store to keep the log burner in the lounge fully stocked.

The property is practical too. In addition to the abundance of bathrooms there’s a downstairs w/c and parking on the drive in front of the single garage.

Blackwell is a small village with a Premier Store, a pharmacy and community centre. You’d need to head to Alfreton for your big shop, which is around 10 minutes drive away. If you’re looking for an easy life you could get them to deliver!

If you like to pick up a designer bargain, East Midlands Designer Outlet is just off the A38 - just over 5 minutes drive away.

And if you prefer to spend your weekends in the outdoors rather than the Outlets, Blackwell is surrounded by open fields, with the countryside literally at the end of the street.

This is a fantastic modern family home in a handy location and a move-in-ready condition. Perfect if you’re looking for an easy life.
