This beautifully-presented family home has been upgraded to a high standard inside and out and has two off-road parking spaces. Located on a large corner plot, the pristine gardens perfectly complement the stylish interiors and the home feels particularly cosy and welcoming in winter.

On the ground floor, the entrance hallway has doors through to the living room, kitchen-diner and WC. On the first floor are three bedrooms (one en-suite) and the family bathroom.

Shirland is an historic village which featured in the Domesday Book. Ogston Reservoir offers pleasant local walks nearby and the delights of the Derbyshire Dales and Peak District are a short cycle or drive away. Hardwick Hall, Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall are wonderful places to visit locally too.

The village is located equidistant between Alfreton and Clay Cross, where both towns are well-served with supermarkets and town centre shops. The A38 and M1 are a short distance away and offer good commuting routes to Chesterfield, Derby, Nottingham and Mansfield.
