Chapel Lane, Barrow Upon Trent, Derbyshire, Derbyshire, DE73

A beautifully presented four-bedroom detached family home, with stunning open views and set within the sought-after village of Barrow-upon-Trent.

This is not just a house, but a home designed for family living. Inside, the thoughtful layout gives families both space to come together and room to spread out. The entrance hall leads into two versatile reception rooms – ideal for a cosy family lounge and a separate playroom, study, or formal sitting area. The kitchen-diner is the heart of the home: a bright, sociable space where family meals, homework sessions, and catch-ups over coffee can naturally happen.  

Upstairs, four generous double bedrooms provide plenty of room for a growing family. The master suite offers a private retreat with its own en-suite, while the remaining bedrooms are ideal for children, guests, or even a home office. The family bathroom is modern and well-appointed, making the morning rush a little smoother. Recent updates, including brand-new radiators throughout, add to the home's comfort and efficiency.

The outside space at this home is designed to complement family life and entertaining. To the front, the neat lawn, colourful flower borders, and private driveway provide a welcoming first impression, while offering parking for several vehicles alongside the garage.

At the rear, the garden truly comes into its own. Backing directly onto open fields, the space feels wonderfully private and enjoys an ever-changing backdrop of countryside views. Picture children playing freely on the lawn, summer gatherings with friends around the barbecue, or family breakfasts taken outside as the sun rises over the fields. The garden offers plenty of scope for outdoor dining – perfect for long summer evenings or cosy autumn afternoons with a hot drink in hand.

As the seasons change, so does the outlook: golden fields in summer, crisp frosty mornings in winter, and colourful sunsets all year round. This garden isn't just an outdoor space – it's an extension of the home, a place for memories to be made and enjoyed.

Barrow-upon-Trent offers an enviable lifestyle that blends peaceful village living with excellent connections. Families are drawn here for the friendly community, the well-regarded nursery and primary school, and the welcoming local pub. Village events and activities mean neighbours quickly become friends, creating a genuine sense of belonging.

The great outdoors is always on your doorstep. Sunday walks along the Trent & Mersey Canal, spotting wildlife or waving to passing narrowboats, can become a family tradition. Children can grow up exploring fields, bridleways, and riverside paths, while adults enjoy the calm and beauty of the countryside. The rear garden's open views also bring nature right to your doorstep – from golden sunsets to the changing seasons across the fields.

Despite its rural charm, the location is incredibly convenient. Willington and Melbourne are just minutes away, offering shops, cafés, and everyday amenities, while Derby city centre provides a full range of leisure and retail options. Willington train station is nearby for straightforward commuting, and the A50, A38, M1, and East Midlands Airport all ensure the village is well connected for both work and travel.

This is a home where families can grow, make memories, and enjoy a lifestyle that combines community spirit, countryside living, and modern convenience.
