The Property
If you've driven past and thought it looks nice — wait until you get inside. This is a genuinely deceptive home; far bigger, more characterful and more versatile than its handsome traditional exterior suggests. At around 1,530 sq ft, it offers space that many detached properties would envy, wrapped up in beautiful period detail and fitted with some seriously impressive modern upgrades.
The entrance porch sets the scene immediately — original Minton tiled flooring, a decorative arch and the kind of quality that runs through every room. The bay-fronted lounge is a real treat with elegant sash windows, ceiling rose and coving. The dining room is equally charming with French doors that open straight out onto the west-facing garden — perfect for catching the afternoon and evening sun.
The kitchen has been beautifully fitted in a modern shaker style with granite worktops, a classic Belfast sink and generous wall and base units — stylish, practical, and a real pleasure to cook in. A separate utility room with more units builit in washer/dryer and dishwasher keeps the laundry hidden away, while a downstairs shower room/WC is a brilliant bonus for busy family life.
Upstairs, the galleried landing feels wonderfully spacious and leads to three genuinely generous double bedrooms all filled with light from beautiful sash windows. The family bathroom is a real highlight: a stunning roll-top bath takes centre stage, finished with a separate shower. There's also a fourth room — compact but perfectly formed — ideal as a home office, dressing room or nursery.
The loft is partially boarded and accessed via pull-down ladder, offering further useful storage.
Outside, the west-facing garden catches the sun beautifully through the afternoon and into the evening, while the secure gated rear driveway — complete with EV charger — provides excellent off-road parking.
And then there's the energy setup: 18 x 445W panels & 14.4Kw of battery storage, with a 6Kw inverter. which means this home generates and stores its own power in serious quantities — a real asset both for the environment and your energy bills. Add a gas combi boiler, a recent full roof replacement and no onward chain, and this one really does tick every box.
A deceptive, characterful and thoroughly impressive family home — early viewing is strongly recommended.
Life in Woodville, Derbyshire
Sitting just two miles east of Swadlincote in South Derbyshire, Woodville is one of those places that quietly gets everything right. It has a genuine sense of community, excellent everyday amenities, and the kind of easy access to the wider region that makes daily life genuinely straightforward.
The village has a rich and fascinating industrial heritage — home to the famous Bretby Art Pottery, rope-making works, and potteries that once put Woodville on the map. Today, that history is lovingly celebrated in the Woodville Remembrance and Heritage Garden, a beautiful community space that's well worth a wander.
For everyday needs, the High Street delivers — convenience stores, a pharmacy, a post office, a GP surgery and a dentist are all within easy reach, along with a selection of local eateries and takeaways. Woodville Recreation Ground is a great spot for families and sports enthusiasts, and the surrounding South Derbyshire countryside offers lovely walks right on the doorstep.
Families are well served by well-regarded local schools, including Woodville Infant School — rated Outstanding by Ofsted — and Granville Academy for secondary-age pupils.
Road links are excellent, with the A511 and A514 providing swift connections to Derby, Burton-upon-Trent and Ashby-de-la-Zouch, as well as onward access to the A50 and wider motorway network. Regular bus services connect the village to neighbouring towns, making it a brilliant base whether you commute or work locally.
Woodville really does offer the best of both worlds — a proper community feel, with everything you need close to hand.
