Derby Road, Risley, Derby, DE72

A rare and existing opportunity to own a three bedroom detached cottage situated in 0.65 of an acre tucked away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life yet close to good transport links. Far reaching South facing views. Great potential. Viewing recommended.

A rare and exciting opportunity has arisen to purchase this individual three bedroom detached cottage sat in an overall plot of approximately 0.65acre. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, the property is located at the end of an unadopted lane on the outskirts of the small Derbyshire village of Risley. Far from being isolated, the property is a few minutes drive to the A52 for Nottingham, Derby and Junction 25 of the M1 motorway. There are local amenities, services and supermarkets in the nearby towns of Sandiacre, Stapleford and Long Eaton. The property comes to the market for the first time since 1979 and is in a very much habitable condition. However, some updating and modernisation is now required. The property benefits from double glazing and has a coal fired central heating system. The accommodation includes two reception rooms, kitchen, cloaks/WC and conservatory. The first floor accommodation comprises three bedrooms and a surprisingly large family bathroom. The property is sited in such a way that the front elevation enjoys views over the grounds and a fantastic South facing vista into the distance. There is ample parking, a modern constructed detached double garage and covered terracing and patios surround the front elevation. Beyond this is an orchard-style garden. Nestled in Green Belt surrounded by open countryside, this unique property offers fabulous potential for a variety of buyers to make into a great long term home.

AGENTS NOTE

Electricity and mains water is supplied to the property. However, there is no gas connection and the property is not connected to mains drains, there is a septic tank. We believe the property sits in Green Belt and as such whilst it may be possible to extend the property, there are certain constraints and we recommend any intending purchaser should make their own enquiries with the Local Authority before proceeding to purchase.
