8 bedroom detached house for sale

Views, Versatility & Vitality. A superb modern home, ideal for a large family living life to the full. Whether you are spending quality time together, entertaining friends & family or just enjoying village life, this spacious Crich home will be perfect.

If you are looking for a family home with more than five bedrooms you often have to accept an older period property, with all the draughts and maintenance niggles that entails…

So this modern eight bedroom detached property, built in 2008, really is something of a rare find.

Thankfully it’s not a case of substance over style. It’s in immaculate condition and perfect for a modern family who want to squeeze the last drop out of every day.

The ground floor is designed for getting together. 

Whether it’s grabbing a quick slice of toast in the morning or catching up at the end of a busy day, the whole family will love spending time in the spacious kitchen/diner.

There’s a separate dining room for more formal occasions and a spacious living room with a traditional log burner and stunning views at the rear.

On the subject of views, there’s a substantial orangery at the rear where you can sit and look out over the private back garden to the open fields beyond. It’s a superb space that makes the most of the southwest facing orientation.

There’s a separate reception room at the front. It’s currently being used as a gym but it could equally be used as a home office - away from all the hullabaloo at the rear!

The reason it isn’t used as a home office is because that’s how the largest room on the first floor is currently being used. 

The substantial space above the built in double garage is perfect if you work from home but it would also make an impressive master bedroom suite.

The first floor has five further double bedrooms (three with en-suites) and a gorgeous four piece family bathroom.

If you have older kids they may try to convince you to let them have the run of the top floor. There’s another two bedrooms up there, along with another luxurious bathroom.

The outside space is almost as impressive as inside.

Steps lead down from the patio outside the orangery to a 850m2 private back garden, perfect for summer BBQs or just playing outside with the kids.

Be warned! There’s a separate paddock, measuring around one third of an acre, next to the garden. You may want to budget for the extra expense if you have kids who are at the age where a pony would make the perfect pet! 

Crich is popular with families, and it’s easy to understand why.

The village has an "Outstanding" local junior school, less than 10 minutes walk away.

For older kids, Swanwick Hall School (rated “Good” by Ofsted) is only a 15 minute drive away.

The village has a strong community, and whilst there aren’t too many local amenities your day to day needs should be covered by the shops, post office, takeaways and pubs.

For everything else, Matlock and Belper are both less than a 15 minute drive away.

If you’re looking for a substantial modern property that delivers both quality and quantity in equal measure, you need to check out this superb eight bedroom detached.
