Derby Road, Belper, DE56

A truly charming cottage full of character and individuality, offering deceptively spacious accommodation arranged over two floors. From the moment you step through the stable door you know this is something a little bit different, and the property delivers at every turn with exposed beams, a feature log burning stove, a stunning kitchen with range cooker and a bedroom with its own private balcony.

Situated within close proximity to Belper town centre, this property benefits from everything this thriving Derwent Valley community has to offer. As part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Belper boasts an array of independent shops, cafes, restaurants and excellent transport links, all set within a town with a genuine sense of identity and community that is increasingly rare to find.

Outside, the property further impresses with a private garden, garage with inspection pit, and driveway parking for two vehicles plus an additional parking space, a combination that is hard to come by at this level.

A cottage with real soul in a town with a story to tell. Early viewing is strongly recommended.

Spaces are provided for a washing machine, fridge and freezer. Exposed beams continue throughout, with stone effect tiled flooring that runs the full length of the room.
