Damson Tree Cottage, Ladle End Lane, Walton-on-trent, Swadlincote, Derbyshire, DE12

Tucked away in a peaceful corner of this sought-after Derbyshire village, Damson Tree Cottage offers the perfect blend of character charm and modern comfort. Framed by idyllic rural views to the rear, this beautifully refurbished village home has been thoughtfully extended and upgraded, creating a welcoming haven.

Inside, every room tells its own tale — from the warm glow of the inglenook fireplace with log burner, to the timeless beauty of exposed beams. Recent improvements ensure this period home is ready for years to come, including a 2022 boiler, newly fitted kitchen and bathroom, double-glazed windows, and a handsome Welsh slate roof to the garden room.

The ground floor unfolds from a charming entrance hall into two generous reception rooms, a characterful breakfast kitchen, and a light-filled garden room that draws the outdoors in.

A handmade staircase rises to the first floor, where two spacious double bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom await. The rear bedroom enjoys far-reaching views over open countryside — a perfect start and end to the day.

There are two loft spaces offering plenty of storage options or potential conversion opportunities.

Outside, the property continues to impress. There's private parking for two vehicles, a garage with a practical utility area, and cottage-style gardens. The rear garden enjoys a sunny open aspect, making it ideal for al fresco dining, gardening, or simply unwinding to the soundtrack of birdsong.

Walton on Trent itself is home to a historic church, a friendly gastro pub, and a well-regarded cricket club. Families benefit from an Ofsted ‘Outstanding' primary school within walking distance, with John Taylor Free School just a short drive away. Day-to-day essentials are found in nearby Rosliston, with the bustling village of Barton under Needwood and the market towns of Burton on Trent and Tamworth offering a wider selection. For outdoor enthusiasts, Tuckleholme Nature Reserve and Rosliston Forestry Centre are on the doorstep, offering everything from peaceful woodland walks to falconry, archery, and fishing.

Perfectly placed for commuters, the property enjoys easy access to the A38, A50, and M6 Toll, with rail links from Lichfield and Tamworth putting Birmingham and even London (in just 80 minutes) within reach. East Midlands and Birmingham airports are both around 40 minutes away.
