Description

The PERFECT detached HOME full of character without compromising. REDESIGNED with a very modern layout usually only found in very high-end new builds. Located in a non estate village location surrounded by STUNNING COUNTRYSIDE, this rare find offers that idyllic semi-rural lifestyle but with all the convenience of great local amenities.

This stunning family home was originally built as a Sunday School in 1875 and has been completely reconfigured and modernised in 2017 to provide bright and spacious family accommodation with smart lighting, security and heating. The clever conversion and later remodel have retained much of the character of the original building which has been successfully integrated into the now much more modern layout. The property is extremely deceptive boasting five generous double bedrooms, four of which have en-suite shower rooms including the master which also has a wonderful walk-in dressing room, leaving the fifth with sole use of the main family bathroom. There are three very spacious reception rooms all of which enjoy stunning countryside views and two out of the three open directly out onto the rear garden. As with many properties the kitchen is the heart of the home and this spectacular open plan living and dining space is a real wow with exposed beams and woodland views it’s a room designed for entertaining. Out in the garden there is an excellent brick built bonus building with a large games room and a home office extending to also incorporate a sheltered covered seating area which is used as an outdoor cinema by the current owners, weather permitting.

Coxbench is located on the edge of the village of Little Eaton and educational facilities are close at hand with Little Eaton Village Primary School and Holbrook Village Primary School with the property lying within the catchment of the popular Ecclesbourne School. There are lots of fabulous local footpaths that if you are a keen walker will take you miles across open countryside and for those less keen there are several popular village pubs all within a mile of the property. There is a good local bus service and the Ecclesbourne School bus stop is close to the house, easy access into Derby, Belper and Ripley and directly onto the A38 leading to the A50/A52/A610/M1.
