Used as a holiday let on The property has been upgraded throughout with a new kitchen and bathroom having been fitted, but still retaining its character with original beams and internal doors and for all that is included to be appreciated, we strongly recommend that interested parties do take a full inspection so they are able to see the whole property for themselves.

Shardlow is a pretty village which is situated approximately 6 miles from Derby and 11 miles from Nottingham. There is an abundance of local history and today Shardlow is considered one of the most complete examples of a surviving canal village which adds to the appeal of the area as a place to live. Although the location has very much a rural feel, it is only a few minutes drive away from the shops and other amenities found in nearby Castle Donington as well as those found in Long Eaton where there are Asda and Tesco stores and many other retail outlets with other shops being at Pride Park and Derby. There are excellent local pubs and places to eat in Shardlow, walks in the surrounding picturesque countryside as well as other areas of South Derbyshire and one of the really important advantages of living at Shardlow is its close proximity to the excellent transport links which provide good accessibility to Derby, Nottingham, Loughborough and Leicester. With close proximity also to J24 of the M1 as well as the A50 and A42 being on the doorstep, this allows easy access to other parts of the East and West Midlands and further afield. East Midlands Airport is only a few minutes drive away with the skylink bus service providing transport to Castle Donington and the airport and East Midlands Parkway station is again only a short drive away which as well as the M1 provides another means of transport to the North and South of the country.
