Description

SELECT PROPERTY Set within a generous plot and just moments from the heart of the highly sought-after market town of Melbourne, in picturesque South Derbyshire countryside, Rotherwood House is a striking period residence dating back c1890. Rich in character and heritage, the property beautifully retains a wealth of original features, including elegant Minton floor tiling, soaring ceilings adorned with decorative mouldings, and traditional sash windows thoughtfully upgraded to modern double glazing.

Offering exceptional potential for enhancement (subject to the necessary planning consents) and no onward chain, this substantial family home provides an exciting opportunity for buyers seeking to create a truly bespoke residence. Externally, the property is equally impressive, benefitting from extensive off-road parking, a detached double garage with up-and-over door, power and lighting, a brick-built outbuilding, outside WC, and mature, well-maintained gardens that envelop the home with established shrubbery and seasonal planting.

Internally, the accommodation is both spacious and inviting. An entrance porch leads into a grand inner hallway, where the original Minton flooring and impressive ceiling height immediately set the tone. A cleverly concealed understairs WC adds modern convenience. To the left, a generously proportioned lounge features a charming bay window and focal fireplace, while to the right, a formal dining room boasts a delightful seated bay window overlooking the gardens. To the rear, an open-plan dining kitchen offers an array of fitted units and ample worktop space, seamlessly connecting to a bright conservatory, which provides a tranquil seating area with garden views. The first floor continues to impress with its high ceilings and retained period details. Two particularly spacious double bedrooms feature character fireplaces and built-in wardrobes, complemented by two further well-proportioned bedrooms, also with integrated storage. A sizeable bathroom includes a separate shower area, with an additional separate WC enhancing practicality for family living.

Externally, approached via a sweeping gravel driveway, the property enjoys a sense of arrival and privacy, with ample parking for multiple vehicles. The surrounding gardens provide a peaceful and established setting, ideal for both relaxation and entertaining.

Ideally positioned close to Melbourne’s vibrant town centre, Rotherwood House benefits from easy access to a wide range of local shops, amenities and excellent transport links, including the A50 connecting Derby and Nottingham. The nearby Staunton Harold Reservoir further enhances the appeal, offering beautiful countryside walks and leisure opportunities.

A home of immense charm, space and potential, Rotherwood House must be viewed to be fully appreciated.

About Hannells Estate Agents, Chellaston

17 High Street, Chellaston, DE73 6TB
Industry affiliations:

Welcome To The Chellaston Branch Of Derby's Most Successful And Multi-Award Winning, Family-Run Estate Agency!

Back in 2003, Alison and Michael Brain were left disappointed and underwhelmed by the service they'd received from a number of Derby agents whilst trying to sell their own property.

From that moment onwards, they set out to create an estate agency with a difference and ever since that day, it's been our mission at Hannells to provide every single client and customer with our renowned "moving experience."

And that's just one of the many benefits of working with a local, family-run estate agency like us. We're here to serve our local community to the best of our ability, not just to "hit numbers" as so many of the larger "corporate" estate agents tend to focus on.

That's why it comes as no surprise to us how often we're told how refreshing it is to speak to a team of estate agents who are professional, experienced, knowledgeable AND friendly.

In fact, don't just take our word from it...

You can see for yourself from the hundreds of 5-star reviews after buying or selling with the Chellaston branch that we don't just talk a good talk, we take great pride in walking it too!

Here's a sample of the level of service you can expect to benefit from by working with your local Hannells branch;

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

"Should have gone with Hannells from the start, P*****B*****s dragged their feet for over 2 weeks, we decided to let Hannells take over. On the market Weds and over 8 viewers by Sat morn. Sold STC Saturday afternoon. Unreal turnaround, unreal team and all very friendly and reliable"

- S.Hill

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

"Upon choosing Hannells to assist in selling our home, it proved to be a very good decision. From the outset we found them to be very professional in their approach. Offering excellent advice in how to market our home to obtain maximum impact to customers who would be able to purchase our property, should they be interested.

The property was sold very quickly upon it being released onto the market. The staff maintain a constant communication throughout the process, with ourselves and the buyer."

- G.Small

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

We value being able to play an important role in what could be one of the most expensive buying or selling decisions you'll make in your lifetime and by working with your local Hannells team, you'll be working with a team of agents that fully appreciate that responsibility. You can rest assured that you're in safe hands!

Located on High Street in Chellaston, we're here to serve buyers and sellers exclusively in Chellaston, Melbourne, Aston-On-Trent, Weston-On-Trent and the surrounding areas.

What next?

Well, if you're thinking of buying a property, take a look at our extensive range of properties in the area and make sure you call us to register your details so we can keep you updated with anything new that you might be interested in.

If you're looking for a local, pro-active team who will look out for your best interests and work hard to get the best price for your property, get in touch with our Chellaston branch today or pop in and say "hello!"

We've always believed that being local plays a huge role in being able to provide an excellent service. That's why you won't find a Hannells office located in the City Centre like most other agents.

Instead, we have several offices located throughout the Derby suburbs which gives us a far superior knowledge of the areas we serve and allows us to provide a much more personal service.

So no matter what your property requirements are, get in touch Nikki and the Chellaston team today to find out how we can best serve YOU!
