This is a rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a substantial period residence that combines two 18th century cottages with a 1960’s extension. The property has been painstakingly restored and refurbished by the current vendors and now provides a fabulous, versatile and superbly appointed home, in a particularly sought after residential location on the edge of Milton.
The property retains much original character throughout including oak flooring and bannisters which were believed to have been reclaimed from Egginton Hall. As part of the refurbishment the property has had the roof replaced on the old part of the property and every window replaced. Very recently the property has had ten solar panels and battery installed, together with cabling installed in readiness for an electric vehicle charging point.
The accommodation is set over three floors and comprises porch, entrance hall with staircase to first floor, WC/storage cupboard, side entrance/utility room, snug with cast iron log burner and quarry tiled floor, dining room with cast iron log burner and an impressive, open plan dining kitchen by Howdens. The first floor comprises a beautiful semi-galleried landing, lounge and staircase to second floor, three sizable bedrooms and a superbly appointed bathroom with four piece period style suite. The second floor features two further bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite shower room. In total, we believe there are three good sized king bedrooms and two good size double bedrooms. There is a rear driveway providing ample off-road parking and access to a sizeable garage with two useful storage rooms to the rear.
The property sits on a fabulous plot measuring approx one fifth of an acre. The majority backing onto farmland offering stunning open views. The landscaped gardens have been designed to create distinct areas ideal for different uses throughout the year. The gardens require a full inspection to fully appreciate the wealth of outdoor space on offer
The property’s location on the edge of Milton offers easy access to the hamlet centre with its popular pub. Neighbouring Repton is a stone's throw away and offers a fabulous range of amenities and is noted for its famous public school, St Wystan’s and primary school. Repton Preparatory School is also located nearby. Repton itself has a busy high street with a range of amenities including popular gastropubs, architects, beauty salons, further restaurants and easy access to neighbouring Willington with canal side walks and train station. Repton is also close to the M1, A50 and A38 as well as East Midlands airport.
An entrance door provides access to porch with further panelled wooden door to fabulous entrance hall.
