Old Hall Drive, Willington, DE65

WHAT COULD YOU CREATE WITH THIS MUCH SPACE, LIGHT AND A GARDEN LIKE THIS?

Our agent Alice says:

“What I love about this two-bedroom home in Willington is how much there is to work with. It does need modernising, but the generous rooms, lovely light and fantastic garden give you such a good starting point to create a home of your own.

At the front, you’ve got driveway parking and a lovely lawn. You walk straight into the spacious kitchen, where big windows make it feel bright and welcoming. There’s plenty of worktop space and room for a dining table somewhere to sit with a coffee while you plan the changes you’d like to make.

The living room is a fantastic size, and that bright feel continues through here too. There’s plenty of room to arrange your furniture and create a comfortable space to relax.

Just off here is the dining room, with doors opening onto the garden. I love the outlook from this room; it’s a lovely setting for dinner, with the option to open the doors on warmer days. Alternatively this could be used as a third bedroom.

There’s also a generous double bedroom downstairs, alongside a utility room with a WC.

Upstairs, you’ll find another spacious double bedroom with big windows bringing in plenty of light. An adjoining room has lovely skylights, and I can really imagine this making a fantastic dressing room. It could also work well as a workspace or somewhere for your hobbies, giving you extra space to suit your needs. The family bathroom with a shower completes the upstairs.

But the garden is the part that really stays with you. There’s a lovely patio with plenty of room for seating and a barbecue, then this amazing stretch of lawn beyond. You can picture having everyone over in summer, enjoying long afternoons outside and still having so much space around you.

For someone happy to take on some updating, there’s a real opportunity here. The space and light are already there, and with a garden like this, I think you could create somewhere really special.”

Our Sellers Thoughts:

“Welcome to 2 Old Hall Drive, our family home for nearly 50 years. It is situated on a very quiet close. It’s close proximity to all local amenities including, school, shops,pubs, restaurants, GP practice, dentist and now Mercia marina is a hive of activity. The home is spacious and has a large garden. Over the years the garden has provided a vegetable plot and plenty of room for children to play . As well as a secluded patio to relax in. There are 2 rooms downstairs that have provided flexibility of use such as we had 2 bedrooms downstairs for many years and recently we used one of the rooms as a dining room and the other either an office or bedroom”

The Area:

The village of Willington is beautiful and a fantastic village for a family. The local Willington Primary School feeds into John Port School in the neighbouring village of Etwall. There are local amenities in the centre of the village including a Co-op, Post Office, Doctors Surgery, Chip shop and several pubs on the canal. With several fields, it is a popular walkers village with easy access to the canal path, leading to Mercia Marina with independent shops, restaurants and cafes. For commuters, it’s a short drive to the A38 which leads to Derby City Centre, Royal Derby Hospital and the A50. The bus service which runs through the village goes to Derby City Centre as well as Burton Town Centre.
