Owner's perspective - "I love the perfect location of this property with its south facing sunny position with picture post card extensive views. It is very enjoyable to barbecue on the patio with friends and family, or relax in peace and tranquillity overlooking the rose border and lawn.
It is also great to be in this desirable hamlet of Windley, to have a driveway onto a quiet country road and yet to be within easy travelling distance of Duffield, Belper, Ashbourne and Derby, and to be in convenient reach of Derby train station and East Midlands Airport.
