Description
Beautifully presented throughout, the cottage has been lovingly maintained and sympathetically improved by the current owners. The interior showcases a wealth of charm and individuality, complemented by a contemporary fitted kitchen, stylish bathrooms, and an upgraded central heating system. The accommodation is arranged over three floors and offers flexible, spacious living to suit a variety of family needs.
The welcoming entrance hall leads to a superb kitchen and breakfast room fitted with modern units and integrated appliances, providing the perfect space for everyday living and entertaining. There are three versatile reception rooms, each offering its own character and potential for a range of uses — whether for relaxing, dining, working from home, or creating dedicated family spaces. A ground floor bathroom adds to the practicality of this level.
To the first floor are three well-proportioned bedrooms, each enjoying pleasant views over the gardens and surrounding countryside, along with a beautifully appointed family bathroom. The second floor provides two further bedrooms and an additional reception room, along with another bathroom. This upper level offers particularly flexible accommodation — ideal for guests, extended family, or for teenagers and young adults seeking a greater sense of privacy while remaining connected to family life.
Outside, the property is accessed via a composite electric double gate leading to a generous and private plot of approximately 0.55 acres. The gardens are beautifully maintained and offer a wonderful sense of seclusion, with mature planting, lawned areas, and a range of useful outbuildings. The setting is exceptionally private and peaceful, with the rear boundary backing directly onto Markeaton Park, providing delightful open views and direct access to one of Derby’s most picturesque green spaces.
The property has also benefited from a number of important upgrades, including a full electrical rewire, a refitted internally, oil-fired central heating system with tank, pumps and boiler installed in 2019, and replacement fencing completed the same year. These improvements ensure the property offers modern comfort while retaining its historic integrity and timeless charm.
Markeaton Village is one of Derbyshire’s most desirable and historic locations, offering a tranquil, semi-rural lifestyle with the convenience of being just a short distance from Derby city centre. Residents enjoy easy access to local amenities, reputable schools, and excellent transport links, as well as the beauty and leisure facilities of Markeaton Park right on the doorstep.
This exceptional Grade II listed cottage offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of Derbyshire’s history in an idyllic and private setting. With its blend of period character, modern convenience, and stunning location, this is a truly special home that must be seen to be fully appreciated.
