Burley Hill, Allestree, Derby, DE22

Derbyshire Properties are delighted to present this impressive and beautifully positioned character family home, enjoying the rare advantage of direct access onto the picturesque grounds of Allestree Park. Combining generous and versatile accommodation with a wealth of original character and a particularly private setting, this substantial home offers an exceptional opportunity for family living in one of the area’s most sought-after locations.

Arranged over three floors, the property retains a wealth of attractive period features, including high ceilings, deep skirting boards and architraves, picture rails and character fireplaces, complemented by thoughtfully arranged modern living spaces.

The welcoming entrance porch opens into a spacious reception hall, leading to a generous lounge with bay window and attractive fireplace. A superb garage conversion provides a versatile additional reception room, ideal as a family room, home office, playroom or sixth bedroom, subject to requirements.

At the heart of the home is an impressive open-plan living kitchen, dining and family space, designed around modern family life and entertaining. The family area features a striking vaulted ceiling and enjoys direct access onto the rear garden, creating a wonderful connection between the house and its exceptional outdoor setting. A useful utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor.

The first floor provides three well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom. Bedrooms one and three enjoy far-reaching views across the surrounding area, while bedroom two overlooks the woodland of Allestree Park. The second floor offers two further bedrooms, providing excellent flexibility for older children, guests or home working, together with an en-suite shower room.

Outside, the rear garden is undoubtedly one of the property’s standout features. Exceptionally private and backing directly onto the woodland of Allestree Park, the garden is predominantly laid to lawn with established borders and hedging, two sun patios and timber storage sheds. A rear access gate provides direct access into the park, offering an enviable extension to the garden and an immediate connection to miles of open green space.

To the front, a large gated tarmac driveway provides parking for approximately five to six vehicles, complemented by a lawned fore garden and productive vegetable garden. A newly constructed double brick-built garage provides excellent secure parking and additional storage.

The property benefits from gas central heating and double glazing and occupies an enviable position for access to the amenities of Allestree and nearby Duffield, while also being ideally placed for the surrounding countryside and the highly regarded Ecclesbourne School catchment area.

A substantial and characterful family home, offering an exceptional combination of space, versatility, period charm and an outstanding parkland setting.
