BEING SITUATED IN THE HEART OF SHARDLOW, THIS INDIVIDUAL THREE STOREY GRADE II LISTED COTTAGE PROVIDES FOUR DOUBLE BEDROOM ACCOMMOATION, HAS A PRIVATE GARDEN TO THE REAR AND A DETACHED TRIPLE GARAGE BLOCK WHICH HAS POTENTIAL TO CONVERT INTO A SEPARATE HOME - Being tastefully finished throughout, the property includes a dining hallway, inner hall with a ground floor w.c. off, a large lounge with a log burning stove and the breakfast kitchen which has hand-made wooden units. To the first floor the landing leads to the main bedroom which has an en-suite shower room, there is the bathroom which has a mains flow shower over the bath and there is also a door from the second bedroom to the bathroom. there are two flights of stairs to the second floor where there are two further bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite shower room/w.c. Outside there is parking and the planted raised border to the front, a private, landscaped rear garden and the detached double garage with land and a newly created garden to the side and a shed/workshop to the rear with half of the garage being high enough to store a motor home or similar vehicles.

THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL COTTAGE SITUATED IN THE HEART OF SHARDLOW VILLAGE WHICH IS TASTEFULLY APPOINTED THROUGHOUT AND PROVIDES FOUR DOUBLE BEDROOM ACCOMMODATION, THERE IS A PRIVATE GARDEN AT THE REAR AND A DETACHED TRIPLE GARAGE, CARPORT AND LONG SHED TO THE REAR AND PRIVATE GARDEN, WHICH HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE CONVERTED INTO A SEPARATE DEVELOPMENT.

Being situated at the head of a quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of Shardlow, close to where the canal runs through the village to The Wharf, this large cottage style property has tastefully finished accommodation arranged on three levels and since purchasing the property, the current owners have refurbished and upgraded the property to a high standard throughout. For the size and layout of the accommodation and privacy of the rear gardens to be appreciated, we recommend that interested parties take a full inspection so they can see all that is included in this beautiful home for themselves. The property also benefits from having a detached triple garage building positioned to the right of the main property, and this has a wide driveway at the front, land and garden at the side with a large wooden shed/storage facility at the rear and we believe there is the potential, subject to obtaining the necessary permissions, to convert this building into a separate home. Shardlow is well placed for easy access to the amenities and facilities provided by Castle Donington, East Midland Airport, Long Eaton, Derby and other main towns in the area and to excellent transport links, all of which have helped to make this a very popular and convenient place to live.

The property stands back from the road at the front and is constructed of brick to the external elevations under a pitched tiled roof and the accommodation included derives the benefits of having gas central heating. There are two main entrance doors at the front and the ground floor accommodation includes a dining hallway with a large ingle nook fire place with log burning stove, breakfast kitchen with hand-made wooden units, a large lounge with a log burning stove and doors leading out to the private rear garden, to the first floor the landing leads to two double bedrooms, with the main bedroom having a shower room/w.c. and there is the main bathroom which can be accessed from the landing and the second bedroom. There are two flights of stairs taking you to the second floor where there are two further double bedrooms, with one of the bedrooms having a shower room en-suite. Outside the main garden area is positioned at the rear and this has been landscaped and designed to provide several areas to sit and enjoy outside living with there being a covered veranda area to the immediate rear of the house. There is also a large separate garage building which is currently divided into three areas, with one part being built at a height so it can accommodate a motor home or similar vehicle, there is a driveway at the front which could provide off road parking for up to five vehicles, a piece of land and a newly created garden at the side and a large wooden storage building at the rear, and as previously mentioned we believe this separate building could possibly be converted into a separate home.
