It’s a real sun trap and isn’t overlooked, and having the table right by the door makes it easy to eat outside in summer.

The house is nice and bright, but it’s also very cosy in winter with the blinds closed and the fire on. The neighbourhood is peaceful and quiet, but very friendly.

Cloud Coffee and Two Sheds are both really welcoming.

You can have a lovely walk through Bolehills and enjoy the views, then stop for a coffee, or order a takeaway and have a pint, and walk home before it gets cold.

It’s walkable into town and there are regular buses." Step in from the side and you'll see why this house works so well for everyday life.

The stairs rise straight ahead, the living room is to your right and the open plan kitchen diner to your left.

Throughout, timber framed mock sash double glazed windows give the house a lovely period character. The kitchen diner is the heart of the home.

There's room for the largest of dining tables, a cosy seating area by the window overlooking the rear garden, and a door to the cellar, which gives you useful storage.

At the far end the kitchen has modern units above and below the worktop, with an integrated oven and grill, electric hob and dishwasher, plus space for a washing machine and an American style fridge freezer.

The vaulted ceiling and side window let the light pour in, and a door opens straight onto the garden, so dinner parties can drift outside on warm evenings.

The living room is a generous size, with plenty of space for sofas and a real sense of warmth.

Period style coving adds a touch of character, and the chimney breast is the focal point, with shelving alongside and a gorgeous Derbyshire limestone fireplace with a tiled hearth, exposed brickwork and a multi-fuel stove.

It's made for cosy autumn and winter evenings. Upstairs, the first floor has two bedrooms. Bedroom one is a really good double with a storage cupboard under the stairs.

Bedroom two is a single at the back of the house, ideal as a home office and equally suited to a nursery.

The bathroom is finished to a modern standard with a white three piece suite and a shower over the bath.

The second floor is given over to bedroom three, a large double with Velux windows to the rear and side that frame wonderful views. There's extra storage in the eaves too.

Outside, the southwest facing rear garden catches the sun through the afternoon and well into the evening.

An Indian sandstone patio sits directly behind the house, perfect for barbecues or a morning coffee, with raised flower beds alongside.

Steps lead up to two artificial lawns, and in the back corner a stone built outhouse with electricity provides fantastic storage.

You can reach the garden from the kitchen or down the side of the house. General information The property tenure is freehold.
