Hemington, Derby

This splendid detached family home is nestled on a private road in the picturesque village of Hemington. It is a fine example of master craftsmanship and has been designed to appear of an older age than it truly is with its wide use of reclaimed materials including Melbourne stone. Presented to a high standard throughout, there are character features abound including reclaimed timbers, gothic arch and internal doors, open fire and at the heart of the home is a gorgeous open plan social kitchen with a part vaulted ceiling having a stunning bowed reclaimed roof truss.

We approach the property along a shared private drive into an exclusive courtyard location of just four similar homes. Number 1 is an impressive looking property having two parapeted dorma gables with a centre gabled entrance porch and a tudor style old English entrance door beneath. This takes you into a central reception hallway with oak staircase leading off. Set within the hall is a useful guest’s cloakroom with a contemporary white suite.

To your left the spacious living room is entered via gothic style glazed doors that has oak revealed beamed ceilings and a superb feature stone open fireplace with log store display recess to either side. Leading off is a wonderful oak framed conservatory which has views over the garden and a glazed door takes you directly outside.

Next we move into the dining/family room with handmade terracotta tiled floor running underfoot and oak beamed ceiling above. There is a double glazed window to the front aspect and a gothic arched style glazed door with matching side screens opening out onto the sunny south facing patio area.

The kitchen is open plan to the dining room and has bespoke fitted units including black granite work surfaces, recess traditional Belfast deep white sink with mixer tap over and further cupboards beneath. To match there is a central breakfast island with extra storage space. Additionally there is space for a range oven within the chimney breast recess and pantry cupboards to either side with reclaimed doors. A special feature is undoubtedly the high vaulted ceiling with its exposed beams and reclaimed bow roof truss.

Ascend to the first floor and from the semi galleried landing a further staircase rises to the second floor. On the first floor there are two double bedrooms, the principal bedroom has a beautiful en suite shower room which is accessed through a disguised panel door set between the panelled built in wardrobes.

The second bedroom has a central revealed beam, feature shelf display recess and dual aspect windows overlooking the gardens below.

The luxury family bathroom includes a three person sauna with music system and lighting, a large walk in shower, freestanding Victorian roll top bath tub, WC and wash hand basin.

Continue on up to the second floor where there are two further double bedrooms. Each bedroom has a skylight window with very pleasant views and both have access to eaves storage space.

Outside – Opposite the house is a fanned cobblestone two car standing area and access to the garage, constructed with reclaimed brick with concrete floor, plastered ceiling, lighting and a trap door to loft access in addition to a window to the side and twin polished wood entrance doors.
