Hall Farm Road, Duffield

With no upward chain and in the Ecclesbourne School catchment area, this spacious family home was substantially extended in 2018 and has a beautiful landscaped rear garden, driveway parking for three vehicles, an integral garage, five bedrooms and two bathrooms. It has been 'future-proofed' with a new kitchen, full rewire, plumbing, heating and redecoration. Located within a short walk of schools and the village centre, this is a bright and uplifting home with space aplenty for all the family.

On the ground floor, the entrance hallway leads through to a sitting room, the huge living-kitchen-dining room (and on through to the utility room) and a ground floor WC. To the first floor are four double bedrooms (one en-suite and with a walk-in wardrobe), a single bedroom and family bathroom.

Duffield is a very popular place to live, with high quality eateries, pubs, library, medical centre and retailers in the thriving, bustling village centre. Duffield Meadows Primary School and the secondary education Ecclesbourne School are extremely popular and well-regarded.

Just outside the village, Croots farm shop and Hudson's garden centre are great places to potter about and have a meal. The delights of the Derbyshire Dales and Peak District countryside are a short drive or cycle ride away, whilst Derby is only a ten minute drive or short hop on a bus or the direct train service from Duffield Station.
