Somme Road, Allestree, DE22

Derbyshire Properties are delighted to present this individually designed six-bedroom detached residence, occupying a prestigious position within Quarndon Parish on the edge of Allestree. Set within beautifully landscaped grounds, this exceptional home offers a rare combination of scale, versatility and lifestyle accommodation, arranged over three floors and thoughtfully designed for both modern family living and entertaining.

The principal living spaces are centred around an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and family area, creating a superb heart to the home with direct connection to the garden. Further reception accommodation includes a separate garden room, cinema room, study and elegant sitting room, alongside a dedicated drinks area and utility room.

The bedroom accommodation is equally impressive. Five bedrooms are arranged across the first floor, including a generous principal suite with en-suite facilities, together with a further bedroom currently configured as an extensive dressing room with its own en-suite bathroom. Two additional bedrooms also benefit from en-suite facilities, complemented by a family bathroom. The second floor provides a sixth bedroom, further study/dressing room and useful boarded eaves storage.

The accommodation in brief comprises: entrance porch, spacious reception hall, cloakroom/WC, study, cinema room, open-plan kitchen/dining/family room, utility room, drinks area, garden room and sitting room, together with the gym/triple garage.

First floor: principal bedroom with en-suite, bedroom two/dressing room with en-suite bathroom, two further en-suite bedrooms and family bathroom.

Second floor: sixth bedroom, further study/dressing room and boarded eaves storage.

Externally, the property continues to impress, with beautifully landscaped, low-maintenance gardens providing a private and attractive setting. Electric gates open onto a substantial resin driveway, offering extensive off-road parking and leading to the substantial garage, the building is currently used by the owners as a combination of gym and garaging, but offers considerable versatility and could readily be adapted to create an exceptional home office, studio, workshop or leisure space. Subject to the necessary planning and building regulations, its scale and layout could also lend itself to the creation of independent ancillary accommodation.

Occupying a desirable position within Quarndon Parish, on the northern edge of Allestree, the property enjoys an enviable balance of countryside surroundings and everyday convenience. The setting combines the character and tranquillity of the neighbouring villages with excellent accessibility to Derby and the wider region.

The highly regarded Ecclesbourne School catchment area is a significant attraction, while the nearby villages of Quarndon and Duffield offer a selection of independent shops, cafés, restaurants, village amenities and local facilities. Allestree itself provides a wide range of everyday amenities, with Derby city centre readily accessible for an extensive choice of shopping, dining, cultural and leisure facilities.

For those who appreciate the outdoors, the location is particularly well placed. Markeaton Park is close by, offering extensive parkland, walking routes and recreational facilities, while the beautiful National Trust Kedleston Estate provides an exceptional setting for countryside walks and enjoying the surrounding landscape. The nearby Peak District also offers extensive opportunities for walking, cycling and exploring the Derbyshire countryside.

Despite its attractive semi-rural setting, the property remains conveniently positioned for commuting, with straightforward access to the A38 and A52, providing connections towards Derby, Nottingham and the wider motorway network.

An exceptional and highly individual family residence, offering an impressive combination of space, versatility and lifestyle accommodation in one of the area's most desirable settings. A property of this calibre and individuality is best appreciated in person, and we would strongly recommend an early viewing.
