2 Bedroom Terraced House

Thoughtfully extended and well presented throughout, this attractive home combines period character with contemporary living, centred around a superb open-plan kitchen and dining room that forms the natural heart of the property.

The rear extension introduces a striking vaulted ceiling with exposed oak beams, creating a light and spacious room that opens directly onto the south-facing garden through French doors. Designed with entertaining and everyday family life in mind, the kitchen enjoys a seamless connection with the landscaped terrace and garden beyond.

The original house retains much of its character, offering two reception rooms, each with a log-burning stove, together with a practical ground floor cloakroom.

To the first floor are two well-proportioned double bedrooms and a modern family bathroom, while the converted loft room provides useful additional accommodation, ideal for home working, hobbies or occasional guest use.

Outside, the landscaped rear garden extends to approximately 30 metres and enjoys a desirable southerly aspect. A two-tier patio with pergola provides an excellent space for outdoor dining, while a detached brick outbuilding adds further versatility.

Further benefits include uPVC double glazing, gas central heating, external power and water supply, sensor lighting and an app-controlled security camera system.

Consistently regarded as one of South Derbyshire's most desirable places to live, Melbourne offers a rare balance of village charm and sophisticated everyday convenience. Its attractive Georgian streets are lined with an excellent selection of independent boutiques, artisan food retailers, cafés, restaurants and traditional public houses, creating a thriving community atmosphere seldom found outside the Cotswolds.

The town is home to an acclaimed artisan bakery, traditional butcher, delicatessens, independent coffee houses, beauty salons, pharmacies, medical facilities and a convenient Sainsbury's Local, all within comfortable walking distance, allowing residents to enjoy a genuinely walkable lifestyle.

Throughout the year Melbourne hosts an engaging calendar of cultural events, most notably the renowned Melbourne Festival, celebrated for its Art & Architecture Trail, concerts, theatre performances and exhibitions, attracting visitors from across the Midlands. Together with the Assembly Rooms and numerous community organisations, the town enjoys an exceptionally active cultural and social calendar.

For those who appreciate the outdoors, Melbourne is surrounded by some of South Derbyshire's most attractive countryside. Scenic walks lead towards Melbourne Pool, Calke countryside, nearby reservoirs and rolling parkland, while cyclists and runners enjoy an extensive network of rural lanes and footpaths. Watersports enthusiasts are also well served by the nearby Foremark Reservoir, home to Burton Sailing Club, offering sailing, windsurfing and family water-based activities throughout the year.

Families are particularly drawn to the area for its excellent schooling. Alongside highly regarded local state schools, the internationally recognised Repton School lies within easy reach, renowned for its outstanding sporting pedigree and exceptional facilities, including Olympic-standard training environments, indoor swimming pool, tennis centre, hockey pitches, extensive playing fields and first-class fitness facilities.
