Wyaston, Ashbourne

The White Cottage is a substantial five bedroom detached cottage set within the highly regarded Ashbourne Golden Triangle, offering a balance of countryside living and accessibility. Situated in the well regarded village location of Wyaston, the property provides a rare opportunity to acquire a home with just under five acres of land, a feature more commonly found in more remote settings. This combination of space and location will appeal to a range of buyers, particularly families, equestrian users, or those seeking room for hobby farming or outdoor pursuits. The property also benefits from full fibre broadband, making it well suited for home working, and offers convenient access into Ashbourne along with straightforward links to the A52 and A515 for commuting.

The accommodation is arranged to provide flexibility, extending to five bedrooms, including a ground floor bedroom with ensuite facilities, suitable for a dependent relative or those requiring single-level living, or as a guest suite. The layout includes three reception rooms, a kitchen with pantry, utility room, and guest cloakroom, with a gross internal floor area of approx. 2000 sqft. Externally, the large south facing garden provides an attractive and usable outdoor space, while the wider plot offers scope for a variety of uses. A detached double garage and generous driveway allow for ample off-street parking. The property also falls within the Osmaston Primary School catchment area, further enhancing its appeal as a long-term family home in a well connected village setting.

A wooden entrance door opens into the inner hallway, where a staircase leads to the first floor and doors lead to the principal ground floor rooms. There is also access to a useful storage cupboard.

The kitchen is fitted with rolled edge work surfaces incorporating a double stainless steel sink with drainer and chrome mixer tap, complemented by tiled splashbacks. A range of base units and drawers provide storage, along with space and plumbing for a dishwasher and fridge. Integrated appliances include a Neff double oven and grill with four ring electric hob and extractor over, along with a Neff combination microwave oven. Wall mounted cupboards offer additional storage. Quarry tiled flooring continues throughout, and a sliding door opens into a practical pantry with shelving. Doors lead through to the dining room, utility room and inner hallway.

The snug/sitting room is a versatile dual aspect space with wooden flooring, UPVC windows to the side and French doors opening onto the rear garden, perfect for when you are entertaining on a summers evening and has a feature inglenook style fireplace with inset log burner and stone hearth forming the focal point of the room.

The main living room is a generously sized reception room featuring an open fireplace with stone surround and tiled hearth, along with exposed beams.

The dining room provides built-in cupboards and drawers and gives access to the ground floor bedroom, as well as connecting back through to the hallway and kitchen.

The ground floor bedroom is a well proportioned double, suitable for those requiring single-level living or for extended family use. It is served by an ensuite comprising a white suite including pedestal wash hand basin, low level WC, bath with chrome mixer tap and mains shower over, along with an extractor fan and loft access.

A guest cloakroom is also located on the ground floor, fitted with a low level WC and wash hand basin. The utility room offers further work surface space, appliance provision for a washing machine and tumble dryer, and houses the oil-fired boiler, with quarry tiled flooring continuing.

To the first floor, a spacious landing provides access to four further bedrooms and the family bathroom.

The principal bedroom benefits from a useful over-stairs storage cupboard and opens into a generous dressing room complete with fitted wardrobes. There is also excellent potential to create an en suite, with the current owners advising that plumbing is already in place, subject to buyers carrying out their own due diligence. Two further bedrooms are comfortable doubles, one with a feature fireplace, and there is also a larger single bedroom.

The family bathroom is fitted with a pedestal wash hand basin, low level WC, bath and mains shower, along with an airing cupboard housing the pressurised hot water tank.

Externally, to the rear of the property, a large gravelled driveway provides ample off-street parking and leads to a detached double garage with twin wooden doors, power and lighting, and a pull-down ladder giving access to additional attic storage.

The gardens and grounds are a key feature of the property, offering a combination of formal garden space and usable land. The main garden lies to the front of the cottage, enjoying a south facing aspect and a good degree of privacy. Predominantly laid to lawn, it provides an open and manageable space ideal for families, with views across the surrounding countryside and ample room for outdoor seating and entertaining.

The overall plot extends to approximately just under five acres, incorporating both the formal gardens and adjoining paddock land and woodland. The paddocks are positioned to the side and front of the property, offering flexibility for a range of uses including equestrian or smallholding purposes, or simply for those seeking additional outdoor space. There is also a further enclosed ‘secret garden’ area, providing a more sheltered and private section of the grounds, well suited to quieter use or family enjoyment. A hardstanding area with a stable block is already in place, supporting equestrian potential and adding to the overall practicality of the plot.

Overall, the outside space offers a balance of garden and land that is rarely available within a village setting, combining outlook, usability and scope for a variety of lifestyle needs.

Please note there are public footpaths crossing part of the paddocks.
