White Gates, Codnor, Ripley

A home with personality, flexibility and a brilliant social twist — this very much loved and deceptively spacious three/four bedroom semi-detached property offers far more than first meets the eye… including its own fully equipped garden pub, “The Dog House.”

Step inside and you’ll find a layout that works just as well for busy family life as it does for relaxed evenings in. The entrance porch leads into a welcoming front reception room, while the inner hallway reveals a cleverly utilised understairs space currently set up as a home office — ideal for those working from home or needing a quiet study area. A second reception room provides the perfect place to unwind, complete with a feature multi fuel stove creating a cosy focal point for the colder months.

At the heart of the home is a great sized breakfast kitchen fitted with breakfast bar — a sociable space for everything from rushed weekday mornings to slow weekend catch-ups. A handy utility area keeps the practicalities tucked away, while the ground floor family bathroom is fitted with a three piece suite and shower over bath.

Upstairs, the first floor offers three very well proportioned bedrooms along with a useful WC, helping ease the morning routine. The second floor attic conversion provides valuable additional space, currently used as a fourth bedroom but equally suited to a home office, hobby room or snug.

Outside is where this home really comes into its own. The low maintenance, fully enclosed rear garden is designed for enjoying, not maintaining — and takes centre stage with “The Dog House” garden pub. Fully insulated, double glazed and complete with power, lighting and additional storage, it’s the ultimate entertaining space… whether that’s weekend drinks, watching the match, or simply escaping the main house for a bit of peace and quiet. Gated rear access provides off street parking for two vehicles.

Positioned within easy walking distance of Codnors local amenities and offering straightforward access to Derby, Nottingham and surrounding areas, this is a home that blends everyday practicality with lifestyle appeal — and just a bit of fun thrown in.
