Derby Road, Risley

THIS IS A VERY SPECIAL THREE DOUBLE BEDROOM PROPERTY SITUATED IN THE VILLAGE OF RISLEY WHICH HAS BEEN TASTEFULLY EXTENDED BY THE CURRENT OWNERS AND ALSO HAS A LOVELY PRIVATE LANDSCAPED GARDEN WHICH PROVIDES SEVERAL PLACES FOR OWNERS AND FRIENDS TO SIT AND ENJOY OUTSIDE LIVING.

It provides Robert Ellis with much pleasure to be asked to market this 1930s semi-detached home which has had a ground floor extension to the rear that has created an amazing living/dining kitchen from which there are double opening double glazed French doors leading out to the beautiful rear garden. The attic has been converted to provide a large double bedroom which is accessed from stairs located off the extended landing and this additional room has a large, glazed window fitted into the gable created when the conversion was carried out. When people view this lovely home, they will be able to see the size and privacy of the rear garden which has been landscaped by the current owners and for this, and the size and quality of the accommodation, we strongly recommend that all interested parties do take a full inspection. Risley is a very sought after semi-rural location situated between Nottingham and Derby and well placed for easy access to excellent transport links, schools for all ages on the doorstep and all the amenities of nearby towns.

The property stands well back from the road with a large drive to the front and is constructed of brick to the external elevations, the front being relieved by quality render and timber, all under a pitched tiled roof. Entering through a feature wood panelled front door with an inset stained-glass panel, the accommodation derives all the benefits of gas central heating and double glazing and includes a spacious reception hall with original pine doors. The lounge off the hallway has a bay window to the front and a log burning stove incorporated in the chimney breast. The spacious living/dining kitchen has a high quality bespoke DeVOL fitted kitchen including Silestone work surfaces and integrated appliances. There are full height windows and double opening French doors leading out to the rear garden. Also, from the hallway there is a most useful ground floor shower room, w.c. and utility area.

On the first floor the extended landing includes an office or study area off which there are two double bedrooms and luxurious bathroom including a separate shower and bath. On the second floor there is a further large double bedroom which also includes a study/reading area and has a feature window overlooking the rear garden and fields beyond.

The outdoor areas are an important feature of this stunning home. There is a large drive allowing for up to three cars to be parked at the front. This has block paved borders, fencing and screening to the front and side boundaries and there is a gate leading to a wide path at the side of the house providing an ideal storage area. To the rear there is a private, landscaped and extremely well cared for garden which includes lawns, seating areas, established beds, a new shed and kitchen garden with raised beds.
