Bells End Road, Walton-on-Trent

Nestled in the heart of the highly regarded village of Walton-on-Trent, this charming and historic semi-detached cottage, formerly known as The Old Post Office, beautifully combines period character with thoughtful modernisation by the current owners. Retaining many original features including exposed beams, quirky walls, characterful doors and charming architectural details throughout, this is a home full of warmth and personality. The village itself offers a strong sense of community alongside a range of everyday amenities including a village shop, public houses, a primary school and recreational facilities, whilst enjoying excellent transport links to nearby towns including Swadlincote, Burton upon Trent and Derby, as well as convenient access to the A38 and A50 for commuters.

The accommodation begins with a practical entrance porch, perfect for storing coats, boots and shoes before stepping into the welcoming living room. This superb reception space features a cosy log-burning stove, exposed beams and French doors opening onto the rear garden, creating an ideal setting for both relaxing evenings and entertaining guests.

The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with a range of shaker-style base units complemented by ample worktop space and includes an integrated oven, microwave, induction hob with extractor over, Belfast sink, drawers, and a useful pantry cupboard.

Leading on from the kitchen is a generously proportioned utility room offering additional wall and base units, a second sink and space for both a washing machine and tumble dryer, together with a convenient ground floor WC.

To the rear of the property is a formal dining room, providing an excellent space for family meals and entertaining. Beyond this is the fourth bedroom, a versatile room currently ideal as a guest bedroom, home office or study.

To the first floor are three double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is well-proportioned and benefits from an adjoining room currently utilised as a dressing room, although it could equally serve as a third double bedroom if required. The second bedroom is another generous double and benefits from fitted wardrobes.

Completing the first floor accommodation is the family bathroom, fitted with a bath with shower over, wash hand basin and WC.

Externally, the property benefits from an attached carport providing off-road parking, useful additional storage and rear access to the garden.

The rear garden is a particular highlight of the property. An initial patio area leads via steps to an extensive lawned garden featuring mature shrubs, bushes and established planting. A further raised patio area creates a wonderful sun trap, enclosed by attractive trellising to provide a more private seating area.

Positioned at the very rear of the garden is a spectacular shepherd's hut, currently utilised for temporary guest accommodation and offering exciting potential for holiday letting or Airbnb use, subject to obtaining any necessary consents.
