Dob Holes Lane, Smalley

Whilst the charming cottage benefits from many character features, it does require significant refurbishment but offers a wealth of potential throughout. Believed to have originally belonged to the former estate of Smalley Hall, our clients believe it was once the Gardeners Cottage. The property is sold with the benefit of no upward chain, gas fired central heating and rear southerly aspect garden. Situated on a plot of approx. 0.24 acres, there is also a single detached garage, outside stores and two greenhouses. Whilst the garden is well stocked with fruit trees, shrubs and plants, outline planning permission has been granted for two detached single storey dwellings within its boundaries (AVA/2023/0068).

Smalley is a highly desirable village known for its diverse range of amenities including a well-regarded primary school, a charming pub, convenient post office, church, vibrant cricket club and a recreational ground. Residents can enjoy scenic walks at nearby Shipley Park. The nearby town of Heanor is within easy reach and offers a further array of services and facilities. Commuters will appreciate the proximity to both Derby and Nottingham, making work travel convenient. Additionally, golf enthusiasts are close to the nearby courses at Morley Hayes and Horsley Lodge.
