Gorse View is fantastically located just a mile or so away from pretty Melbourne. Melbourne is a small Georgian market town in South Derbyshire about eight miles south of Derby and 8 miles from Ashby-de-la-Zouch. Meandering through the narrow streets is an absolute must, marvelling at the array of boutique shops, deli's and numerous pubs and restaurants, Amalfi White being highly recommended. For families, schools and leisure pursuits are in abundance and for the commuter, access to Derby, M42, M1 and A50 are all just the other side of Swarkestone Bridge. The area is well served by highly regarded schools including Chellaston Academy Secondary School and a number of schools in Melbourne. Private schools include Repton School, Repton Prep, Derby Grammar and Derby High.

Tucked away, the property is approached over a long hedge lined shared driveway and has a private drive with a detached brick and tiled garage to the rear with adjacent parking. Within the courtyard to the front of the barn is a large gravelled frontage providing lots of parking and the arched entrance door takes you into a wonderful long corridor feature hallway running along full length of the barn. Central to the hallway is a gorgeous oak and glass balustraded staircase with a vaulted ceiling above and a guest's cloakroom/WC set below.

The heart of the home is undoubtedly the expansive open plan kitchen, dining and living area with Karndean flooring having under floor heating underfoot, a host of top notch integrated appliances, an instant hot water tap, acres of sleek contemporary cabinets and a large waterfall edged breakfast island with contrasting dekton quartz effect heat resistant countertops. There is plenty of room for the whole family to sit around for morning coffee and breakfast and overhead the vaulted ceiling and exposed beams are nothing short of spectacular. When nothing but al fresco entertaining will do, bi-fold doors open wide from the kitchen onto the large paved terrace and truly bring the outside in, and with a beautiful south westerly aspect, you are certainly guaranteed plenty of vitamin D!
Last but definitely not least is the living area where there is a bespoke concealed gin bar with slide away double doors which reveal a downlit mirrored backdrop, wine cooler and shelving within.

For more formal occasions, the impressive separate dining room with its dual aspect windows is just perfect. There is also a family room/study too for when you need to work from home.

The living room is well proportioned and features full height picture windows offering lovely green aspects with a central glazed door leading out to the front garden.

Return back to the hall and at one end of the barn lies bedroom five. Set on the ground floor, it benefits from a private en suite shower room and its own front entrance door. It would make for an ideal guest's/annex suite or additional reception room.

Moving upwards, the first floor hosts a galleried landing with seating area and a wide feature picture window with glorious views. There are four large double bedrooms arranged around all with feature vaulted ceilings with bedroom two having its own private en suite shower room.

The principal bedroom is to die for! It has a high vaulted ceiling, exposed roof truss, a large walk-in wardrobe and a lovely private en suite shower room. Dual aspect windows guarantee the room is flooded with sunlight and offer lovely views over surrounding countryside.

The family bathroom boasts a contemporary sleek freestanding tub to soak away the stresses of the day as well as a separate shower, vanity wash hand basin, ladder style towel radiator, WC and a porthole style window.

Outside - As previously mentioned the gardens enjoy a sunny southerly aspect with an expansive paved terrace having steps up to a large lawned garden.
