Located in the heart of Derby, just off Kedleston Road, this exceptional four-bedroom period residence seamlessly combines classic Victorian elegance with contemporary comfort. Gas central heating and a wealth of original features, carefully preserved and restored, complement the property’s generous proportions and sophisticated interiors.

The current owners have invested considerable attention to detail in the presentation of this family home, resulting in a residence that exudes both character and refinement and must be appreciated in person.

Accommodation in brief comprises a striking Minton-tiled entrance hall, where a galleried staircase rises gracefully to the first floor. The ground floor further offers a formal lounge, a generous dining room, and a wooden double-glazed conservatory that connects seamlessly to the kitchen and separate breakfast room, complete with a multi-fuel stove, creating an ideal setting for both family life and entertaining. On the first floor, a refined landing leads to three well-appointed bedrooms, including the master suite with a newly installed en-suite shower room, complemented by a re-fitted family bathroom. A further staircase ascends to a substantial attic double bedroom, providing versatile accommodation.

Externally, the property benefits from a larger-than-average lawned garden with well-stocked borders, gated side access, and convenient on-street parking on White Street.

This property offers excellent scope for future enhancement, with precedent already established for extension and reconfiguration. Previous planning consent was granted (now lapsed) for a ground floor rear extension incorporating a utility room and ground floor WC, demonstrating the potential to thoughtfully enlarge the existing accommodation, subject to the necessary consents. In addition, further planning approval was granted to create a generous master suite at top-floor level, highlighting the flexibility of the property to adapt to evolving lifestyle needs. Copies of the former planning applications and associated architectural drawings are available upon request, providing prospective purchasers with a valuable starting point for any future development plans.
