Port Way, Coxbench

Part of a farm development, this clever conversion was undertaken by the current owners in 2003 and finished to a very high standard. The creative layout provides plenty of flexible space ideal for family life and entertaining, whilst the configuration of plot grants the occupiers a high degree of privacy that naturally takes advantage of one of the best views in the area.

The property lies on the border of two of the area's most popular villages - Coxbench and Holbrook and is surrounded by lovely countryside with miles of footpaths and bridleways to enjoy. Both villages and nearby Duffield and Little Eaton provide a range of hostelries and an excellent range of local amenities. The location is perfect for commuters with easy access to the A38/A610/A6/A50/M1, with Derby Mainline train station just a 15 minute drive and East Midlands Airport less than 40 minutes' drive.
