5 Bedroom Detached House for sale in Belper

3 5 3

PRIME LOCATION & VIEWS - This impressive home enjoys a fantastic location situated in one of Belper's most sought after locations with stunning views across Derbyshire's rolling countryside.

The property is approached via its own private lane and was originally constructed in the first half of the last century, stylishly finished in stone and render, facing almost due south.

The building was completely refurbished and extended, now providing a pleasant balance between the traditional and the modern. Prior to this, for many years, it was the home of the Lord Lieutenant of Derbyshire, a key-note gardener, many of whose choice plants still thrive in the charming, mature gardens - visited by Alan Titchmarsh in the past.

The house with its private garden support a very pleasant, spacious lifestyle with a high degree of privacy and security and all the advantages that the warm southern aspect brings.

The present owners ( since 2013 ) have continued to improve the property, the five bedrooms being well served by three bathrooms. The main bedroom is particularly attractive, having a large sun balcony with beautiful extensive views to the south.

A further point of note is its very large roof space which could be developed ( subject to planning permission ) and a handy wine store in the cupboard under the stairs.

The Location - The property enjoys this highly sought after position just off Mount Pleasant Drive within walking distance to the centre of Belper, which provides an excellent range of amenities including a supermarket, shops, education at all levels, Railway Station, public houses, restaurants and recreational facilities.

The village of Duffield is some three miles to the south and the City of Derby is eight miles to the south. The famous market town of Ashbourne, known as the gateway to Dovedale and the Peak District National Park, lies approximately ten miles to the west.

For those who enjoy the outdoor pursuits the nearby Derbyshire countryside provides some delightful scenery and walks along the banks of the River Derwent.
