24 Main Street, Walton-On-Trent, Swadlincote, Derbyshire DE12 8LZ

A rare opportunity to acquire a detached coach house in the heart of the highly sought-after village of Walton-on-Trent, offering a generous plot, mature gardens and considerable scope for refurbishment and future enhancement. Set within a conservation area, this characterful property provides flexible accommodation arranged over two floors, including three bedrooms, a conservatory, breakfast kitchen and bathroom, together with an attic room offering further potential.

Approached via a block paved driveway, the property occupies a good-sized plot enclosed by walls, with gardens extending around the house to create privacy, character and a peaceful setting. A large detached brick-built garage and workshop, alongside further brick outbuildings, provide valuable storage and practical space.

Offered for sale via auction with no upward chain, this is a particularly interesting prospect for buyers seeking character, space, scope for improvement and potential development opportunities in a desirable South Derbyshire village.

The property requires refurbishment, yet its existing layout provides an excellent foundation for creating an individual home tailored to modern requirements. An entrance porch opens into the hallway, providing access to the principal ground-floor rooms. The lounge offers a comfortable reception space, while the conservatory creates an additional setting overlooking the surrounding gardens. The breakfast kitchen provides scope for reconfiguration and modernisation, with space for both kitchen facilities and a dining area.

Two bedrooms are positioned on the ground floor, offering considerable flexibility for those looking to create single-level living, guest accommodation, a home office or hobby space. A bathroom is also located on this floor. Stairs rise to the first floor, where a large bedroom provides an impressive private retreat with useful floor space. A door leads through to the attic room, offering additional usable or convertible space, subject to the purchaser's requirements and any necessary permissions.

Outside, the generous plot is enclosed by a walled boundary, with mature gardens extending around the property and providing privacy, established planting and scope for further landscaping. The block paved driveway gives access to a large detached brick-built garage and workshop, complemented by further brick outbuildings providing useful storage and workspace.

The size and arrangement of the plot create excellent potential for development or alteration, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consent, making this an especially appealing proposition for buyers with vision.

Walton on Trent is a highly sought-after South Derbyshire village, with the property positioned within the heart of the community and set within a conservation area. The nearby Swan pub adds to the village character, while the surrounding countryside provides attractive opportunities for walking and enjoying the rural setting. The village location also offers a peaceful lifestyle while remaining well placed for exploring the wider area.
