Description

Nestled within the desirable Ecclesbourne School catchment, this Victorian semi-detached home boasts character and ample space for personalisation. Situated in the sought-after village of Duffield, the property enjoys proximity to local amenities including shops and schools, while also offering convenient transport links to Derby city centre and the vibrant market town of Belper. The home features a range of original architectural details alongside modern conveniences, making it a promising renovation project. The ground floor encompasses a welcoming entrance hall leading to multiple reception areas; a lounge featuring a log-burning stove, a spacious family room with dual aspect windows, and an expansive living kitchen/dining area that overlooks the private rear garden. The kitchen is equipped with premium fixtures but could benefit from fresh design choices or updates. Upstairs, there are three generously sized bedrooms, each retaining period characteristics such as high ceilings and stylish sash windows. The family bathroom is functional but could use modernisation to enhance its appeal. Additionally, potential exists for a loft conversion to create further living space (subject to planning approval). Outside, the large garden is laid to lawn with a paved patio—a perfect canvas for outdoor improvements or landscaping projects. There’s also an outbuilding which could serve as storage or be transformed into an office or garden room, providing additional utility. For those looking to invest in a property with both intrinsic charm and significant renovation potential in a prime East Midlands location, this home represents an excellent opportunity.
