The Covert, Aston Lane, Chellaston

An exceptional opportunity to purchase 16.06 acres and a spacious bungalow that is on the market for the first time in its history. There may be developmental opportunities on part of the land.

Description - The Covert is on the market for the very first time in its history. This is an exceptional opportunity to purchase a very spacious and graceful bungalow set within outstanding grounds of 16.06 Acres on the edge of Derby.
There are a large number of outbuildings, mostly forming a dog boarding kennel business but there are also some stables and a hay barn. There may be development opportunities on part of the land and the property is sold with no overage. Just 2 miles to the A50 and A38 providing excellent road links to M1 and M6.
The property is subject to an agricultural occupancy restriction (further details available from the agent).

The House - The front door from the driveway enters via a porch into a vast, impressive kitchen/dining room/sitting room. This is the working hub of the property and full length glass doors open onto a covered deck terrace overlooking the grounds. The kitchen area has fully fitted units and a range cooker.
A door from this room leads to the sitting room, another huge room with a fireplace with wood burner and great views over the lawns.
On the other side of the kitchen, a door leads into the bedroom wing which has full length glass walls overlooking the gardens. From this passage, doors open into four double bedrooms, one of which has large walk in wardrobe and an ensuite bathroom, there is a further WC and a shower room.
The size of the rooms in this property and the views from the principle rooms including the master bedroom have to be inspected in order to really appreciate the magnificence of the building.

The Buildings - For many years the property has been run as a dog boarding and agility training kennels,, and this option is clearly possible for a new owner. Alternatively it may easily be altered to accommodate equestrian or other interests.
The buildings include a range of kennels, stables and garages nearest to the house together with a workshop and two WCs.
Some distance behind these is another set of buildings containing a dog grooming room, a hydrotherapy pool and shower, workshop and store. Opposite there is a further range of stables/stores.
In addition, there is a large enclosed building (approximately 36m x 12 m) used a a dog training arena which could be adapted for other uses. A portal framed hay barn lies some way beyond at the entrance to one of the fields.
There are some timber field shelters and chicken houses.

The Land - The bungalow and buildings are well situated within the land which is delightfully composed of large sweeping lawns, mature woodland and grass paddocks.
The woodland has a variety of species of trees and form a natural boundary to the majority of the property giving peace and privacy, which is quite exceptional considering its close locations to Derby and the main trunk roads.
There are a number of beautiful walks maintained through the woodland and fields.
