Situated in the historic market town of Ashbourne, this well-appointed four-bedroom detached home offers a fantastic blend of immediate comfort and future potential.

The kitchen is fully equipped with integrated Neff appliances, wood-block style work surfaces, and a breakfast bar, with sliding doors opening into a heated conservatory.

Planning Permission - Derbyshire Dales: Planning Ref: 26/00299/FUL

This property comes with planning permission for a substantial two-storey extension aimed at creating a practical and spacious family home. The proposed layout features a large open-plan kitchen and dining area at the rear, designed to open directly onto a new terrace for improved indoor-outdoor flow. The first-floor plans include a reconfiguration to provide better bedroom proportions, including a main bedroom with an en-suite and a dedicated dressing space. This project offers a clear opportunity to modernise and significantly increase the living space of the existing dwelling.
