Ashford Rise, Belper

Having been a buy-to-let property for 14 years, this well-presented home has two off-road parking spaces, an easy-maintenance garden and large conservatory. It has been carefully maintained and updated regularly, with a new kitchen in 2022 and new uPVC windows, glazing and soffits in 2020. The home has also had a British Gas maintenance contract running throughout the tenancy. With bus stops in both directions outside, this home is within walking distance of primary and secondary schools, local shops and parks.

On the ground floor, the entrance lobby leads through to the sitting room and then on through to the kitchen-diner and conservatory. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a bathroom. To the front of the home is a tarmac driveway with space for two vehicles to park side-by-side. The rear garden has a large paved patio, with new timber fences and plenty of space for outdoor dining and planters. A garden shed provides useful storage.

This home is in the centre of a popular development, within walking distance of a parade of shops including a Tesco Express. A 'Busy Bees' nursery, two primary schools and secondary school are all within walking distance.

Belper is an attractive market town with a thriving retail, restaurant and cafe culture. There are lots of leisure facilities, community groups and countryside walks aplenty in all directions, very close to this home. We particularly love strolls around Belper River Gardens. The market towns of Matlock, Ashbourne and Bakewell are within a short driving distance, as are the attractions of the southern Peak District and Chatsworth House. Belper is within a 20 minute commute of Derby via road or direct train service and 40 minutes from Nottingham.

The room also includes two ceiling light fittings, a radiator, tile-effect laminate flooring and sliding patio doors into the conservatory.

Conservatory - 3.2 x 3 (10'5" x 9'10") - This large addition to the home can be used all year round thanks to having two radiators.
