Mansion with pool for sale at £1m plus

- George.allen@reachplc.com

A MANSION with a swimming pool in Derby’s Burton Road is on the market for offers above £1 million.

The elegant 8,400 square feet property has six large bedrooms, two kitchens and a stunning garden.

An architect designed the property for the owners in 2000 and they say no expense was spared.

Visitors are greeted by electric gates and an ornamental pond before they arrive at the house’s impressive double front doors. A grand entrance hall, with marble walls and a marble staircase, plus an opulent chandelier, are the first things you will see as you enter the home.

The floors have underfloor heating - so there’s no need for your feet to get cold during the winter months.

But that’s only the start of the luxury. The ground floor holds the most impressive feature – an 11m by 5m swimming pool with mosaic tiling and pillars around the outside.

The pool room leads to a separate changing room and shower, access to the kitchen for pool parties, and there is even a private staircase leading up to the master bedroom suite.

The master bedroom is large. A dressing room, with a built-in ironing board, leads off from the master room, as well as a bathroom.

The bathroom offers his and hers sinks, a shower, and a spa-style jacuzzi bath, all in a stylish white colour scheme.

There are six bedrooms, all offering loads of space to spread out.

Downstairs, there are two kitchens. Both are fitted to a high standard. The first is decorated with a modern, volcanic blue theme, with a large cooker, plenty of storage space, and enough room for a large dining table.

The second is fitted out in a farmhouse style. There is an island work surface in the centre, wooden fittings, a range cooker and two sinks.

The mansion’s dining room is a grand, imposing room. The owners have a 12-seater table in the centre, but there is still plenty of space for guests to mingle.

The living room is a beautiful place to spend time as a family and offers double doors leading out into the garden.

There is also another family room on the ground floor which could be transforme­d into a separate wing of the house for independen­t living.

Green-fingered readers will be impressed by the property’s southfacin­g garden. The tall trees, along with security fencing, create a private space to tend to the garden or spend time with family.

Anyone wishing to view the house, with its guide price of between £1 million and £1.2 million, should call Fine and Country estate agent Lee Armstrong on 01332 973881 or 07496 710557.
