Michaels Meadow, South Normanton, Alfreton, DE55

£800,000 (offers over) Completely re-imagined for modern family life.

Occupying approximately one third of an acre, tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac and looking out across open countryside, this is a home that has been transformed with real vision.

Extending to approximately 2,970 sq ft, the current owners have created something exceptionally well considered: a home that balances family life, entertaining and working from home without compromise. There are four generous double bedrooms, four reception spaces, a dedicated home office and an indoor heated swimming pool, all wrapped within striking, contemporary interiors.

The heart of the house is wonderfully social, with a statement island kitchen flowing into open-plan living and dining space, while separate reception rooms give a growing family the freedom to spread out. Outside, beautifully landscaped gardens create another extension of the living space, with open countryside forming the backdrop.

Its transformation isn't purely aesthetic, either. 19 solar panels and a substantial five-battery, 25kW system give the property impressive eco credentials and bring modern efficiency to a home of this scale.

Bold, beautifully transformed and incredibly versatile, this is modern family living done properly.

The Accomodation - The sense of space begins as soon as you step inside, with a bright and generous entrance hallway setting the tone for the accommodation beyond.

At the centre of the ground floor is the impressive contemporary island kitchen, finished with quartz worktops and splashbacks and complemented by a range of high-specification integrated appliances. Designed as much for entertaining as everyday family life, it opens naturally into a fantastic living and dining space, somewhere for everything from busy breakfasts to dinner with friends.

Away from the main social space are two further reception rooms, including a generous family lounge and separate snug, currently used as a games room, creating those increasingly important spaces where different generations can relax independently.

A dedicated home office provides a proper environment for working from home, while a separate utility room and ground-floor WC take care of the practical side of family life.

One of the home's defining features is its indoor heated swimming pool, bringing something genuinely different to the property and creating another fantastic space for exercise, entertaining and family time throughout the year.

Upstairs are four genuinely spacious double bedrooms, accompanied by two beautifully finished, fully tiled bathrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a contemporary family bathroom with bath and overhead shower.

Outside - The setting is every bit as impressive as the house itself.

Secure gates open onto a walled driveway with parking for multiple vehicles, giving the front of the property a private and substantial feel.

To the rear, the gardens have been beautifully landscaped to create a wonderful extension of the house. A broad patio spans the rear elevation, providing plenty of space for outdoor dining, entertaining and summer evenings, before opening onto a large lawn.

A landscaped pond adds another focal point, while beyond the garden the outlook opens towards rolling countryside, giving the property a sense of space and connection to its surroundings that is difficult to replicate.

With a plot extending to approximately one third of an acre, there is space to entertain, space for children to grow up and, above all, space to enjoy.

Why South Normanton? - Perfectly positioned for a lifestyle that needs space without sacrificing connectivity, South Normanton sits within easy reach of both the Derbyshire countryside and some of the region’s key employment and transport hubs. The village offers a strong range of everyday amenities, schooling and leisure facilities, while nearby towns provide everything else within a short drive. For commuters, Junction 28 of the M1 is moments away, opening up straightforward connections towards Nottingham, Derby, Sheffield and further afield, with East Midlands Airport also accessible. Yet step away from those connections and the landscape quickly changes, open countryside, walking routes and the wider Derbyshire landscape are all close by. It makes South Normanton an increasingly compelling place for families wanting more house, more outside space and excellent connectivity, without giving up the feeling of being close to the countryside.

Dales & Peaks Forwardmove Please Read - Dales & Peaks is marketing this Property with the benefit of ForwardMove. Dales & Peaks has introduced ForwardMove to help speed up the sales process, minimise sale fall-throughs and give more certainty to both the Seller and the Buyer.

Purchasers will benefit from the Buyer Information Pack (BIP), which we have created with our legal partners, to give buyers more information before they agree to purchase.

The pack includes:

Fixtures and contents form (TA10)
Official Copy of the Register (OC1)
Title Plan (OC2)
Local Search*
Water and Drainage Search*
Coal and Mining Search*
Homescreen / Environmental Search*

(Dales & Peaks has ordered the local, drainage, coal and homescreen / environmental searches; we will add these to the BIP as they become available)


ForwardMove allows the sale process to be completed significantly quicker than a ‘normal sale’. This is because the legal work, usually done in the first four to eight weeks after the sale is agreed, has already been completed. The searches, which can take up to five weeks, are ordered on the day the listing goes live and are transferable to the successful Buyer as part of their legal due diligence.

Additionally, and on behalf of the Seller, Dales & Peaks requests that the successful Buyer enters into a Reservation Agreement and pays the Reservation Agreement Fee of £595 (including VAT). This includes payment for the Buyer Information Pack and all the searches (which a buyer typically purchases separately after the sale is agreed).

Upon receipt of the signed Reservation Agreement, payment of the Reservation Agreement Fee, completion of ID and AML checks and the issuing of the Memorandum of Sale, the Seller will agree to take the Property off the market and market it as Sold Subject To Contract (SSTC).

During the Reservation Agreement period, the Seller will reject all offers and not enter into another agreement with any other buyer. The reservation period is agreed upon at the time of sale but is usually between 60 and 120 days.

The Reservation Fee is non-refundable except where the Seller withdraws from the sale. A copy of the Reservation Agreement is available on request, and Dales & Peaks advises potential buyers to seek legal advice before entering into the Reservation Agreement.

If you have any questions about the process or want to know how selling or buying with Dales & Peaks ForwardMove could benefit you, please speak to a member of the Dales & Peaks team.
