THE PROPERTY We suspect the property was constructed in or around 1969, and offers a well-proportioned interior with excellent potential for structural extension and refurbishment to individual taste, and subject to obtaining the usual planning and building regulation approvals. The property is offered with the benefit of immediate vacant possession, and is approached via the canopy entrance porch opening to the entrance hall, with cloaks/WC, large lounge dining room, breakfast kitchen, double bedroom one, double bedroom two, bedroom three/dining room, bedroom four, and family bathroom. Outside the property benefits from an attached double garage, outside WC, and large detached brick outbuilding, which we understand would have originally been the milking parlour/dairy to the original farmhouse on the opposite side of Main Street. This building offers scope for conversion, again subject to obtaining the relevant approvals. The property sits within extensive, delightful mature gardens of over three-quarters of an acre. LOCATION The property enjoys a delightful setting on the fringe of the small, popular village of Ambaston, which is situated approximately seven-miles south-east of Derby city centre. Whilst the village does not have any amenities as such, there are basic amenities within the nearby villages of Thulston and Shardlow. Ambaston enjoys a strategic location, within easy access of the city of Derby, and within minutes driving distance of the A50, which affords access to the east and west of the region as well as access to the M1 motorway, and East Midlands International Airport. DIRECTIONS When leaving Derby city centre by vehicle, proceed along London Road, the A6, continuing through Alvaston still on London Road towards Shardlow before turning left signposted for Thulston and Elvaston. Continue through Thulston before turning right at the signpost for Ambaston onto Ambaston Lane, proceeding into Ambaston before turning left onto Main Street to find the bungalow on the right-hand side.
