5 bedroom detached house for sale

As soon as you walk through the front door, you can imagine bringing your family up in this house. Having been much loved by the current owners, it is full of character and surrounded by lovely mature gardens; you will feel instantly at home.

In addition to its highly regarded schools, the village of Duffield provides an excellent range of amenities, including a varied selection of shops, post office, library, historic St Alkmund's Church and a selection of good restaurants. There is a regular train service into Derby City centre which lies some 5 miles to the south of the village. Local recreational facilities within the village include squash, tennis, cricket, football, rugby and the noted Chevin Golf course. A further point to note is that the Derwent Valley, in which the village of Duffield nestles, is one of the few world heritage sites and is surrounded by beautiful countryside.

Entrance to the property is via a storm porch leading into a spacious entrance vestibule with a very useful built-in cloak cupboard, as well as a guest WC fitted with a wash basin and low flush WC.
