The Fox Hollies, Shirland

This splendid family home is presented in immaculate condition and is located in a pleasant, friendly neighbourhood. With a south-facing garden, garage, off-road parking for 2 vehicles and spacious rooms throughout, this home represents tremendous value for money.

On the ground floor, the entrance hallway leads right into the living room and left into the bright and airy kitchen-diner. There is a useful utility room and ground floor WC too.

To the first floor are three double bedrooms (one en-suite) and a family shower room.

With an excellent B-rating for energy efficiency, the home is also located close to the village centre and is within walking distance of the primary school.

Shirland is an historic village which featured in the Domesday Book. Ogston Reservoir offers pleasant local walks nearby and the delights of the Derbyshire Dales and Peak District are a short cycle or drive away. Hardwick Hall, Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall are wonderful places to visit locally too.

The village is located equidistant between Alfreton and Clay Cross, where both towns are well-served with supermarkets and town centre shops. The A38 and M1 are a short distance away and offer good commuting routes to Chesterfield, Derby, Nottingham and Mansfield.

A handy recessed barrier mat gives way to a thick grey carpet, which runs through to the living room.

Rear Garden - Accessed via a timber side gate and directly from the Kitchen-Diner, this open aspect south-facing garden is not overlooked and gets the sun all day long. The dining patio is perfectly positioned beside the patio doors. The neat lawn leads up to a timber fence boundary at the end, whilst brick garage walls form tidy boundaries on each side and retain heat nicely during the summer. The garden also has an outside tap. It is perfectly suited for a young family where children can play safely within sight of the kitchen and dining area, whilst it's also a great entertaining space with family and friends.
