Location

This property enjoys a prime position on Potter Street in Spondon, one of Derby’s most charming and historically significant streets, forming part of a designated conservation area. Potter Street and Church Street are not just any streets; they are steeped in history and character. Many of the buildings, including the impressive mansion ‘Linden’ and other neighbouring historic homes, reflect the area’s rich architectural heritage. The house itself occupies a site with its own story, previously home to two cottages before the current property was built in 1963, giving it a unique place in the street’s narrative. A small publication, Church Street and Potter Street, Spondon, devotes three pages to this property and highlights the historical significance of the surrounding buildings, underlining the special character of this location.

Spondon village is well regarded for its sense of community and character.

The village is also home to West Park School, a highly regarded senior school with consistently excellent Ofsted results, making it an ideal choice for families.

Potter Street offers a rare combination of historic charm, community spirit, and convenience. Its conservation status ensures that the character of the street is preserved, while its proximity to local amenities, schools, and village facilities makes it a particularly desirable location.
