Elms Avenue, Derby, DE23

***Quote Ref: 845611 when calling*** Step through the front door of Elms Avenue and the layout immediately begins to make sense. The entrance hall provides a natural introduction to the home, with the convenience of a downstairs WC close at hand, before leading you into the main living spaces. To the front, the living room stretches away into a wonderfully generous space. The bay window draws in the daylight and gives the room a sense of width, while its proportions mean there is plenty of room for family life to happen without feeling crowded. It is easy to imagine this becoming the place where everyone naturally gathers at the end of the day. Continue through the house and the atmosphere begins to change. At the rear, the kitchen and dining area create a more open and sociable side to the home. The kitchen centres around a large island, allowing cooking, conversation and everyday family life to happen together, while the adjoining dining area looks directly towards the garden. Open the doors and the inside flows naturally outside. A paved patio provides an immediate place for a table, barbecue and summer entertaining before giving way to a generous lawn beyond. Enclosed by timber fencing with established greenery around its boundaries, there is enough space here for children to play, a kickabout on the grass or simply somewhere to sit outside and enjoy the warmer months. It feels like a genuine extension of the family living space rather than simply a garden to look at. Back inside and upstairs, the home becomes quieter and more private. Three bedrooms are arranged around the landing, including two particularly comfortable doubles and a third room that could adapt as family needs change — perhaps a child's bedroom today, a study or guest room in the future. The family bathroom completes the first floor, keeping the sleeping accommodation neatly separated from the more sociable spaces below. What makes the house particularly appealing, however, is how easily the lifestyle continues beyond the front door. For families considering schools, Wren Park Primary School is only around 180 metres from the postcode, with St Peter's Church of England Aided Junior School and Carlyle Infant and Nursery Academy also nearby. At secondary level, Littleover Community School is approximately 1.1 km away, with Derby Moor Spencer Academy and Murray Park Community School also within the wider area. As always, buyers should check current admissions criteria and priority areas directly with the relevant school or local authority rather than assuming proximity guarantees a place. Green space is readily accessible too. King George V Playing Fields in Littleover provides nearby outdoor recreational space, while the much larger Markeaton Park gives families access to one of Derby's major parks for longer walks, recreation and days outdoors. For swimming, fitness and family activities, Moorways Sports Village and Water Park provides a major leisure facility within the wider Derby area. Healthcare is another strength of the location. Royal Derby Hospital is readily accessible from this side of the city, while Nuffield Health Derby Hospital is situated on Rykneld Road in Littleover and provides private medical and surgical services. For evenings and weekends, Littleover offers its own collection of pubs, restaurants, takeaways and everyday amenities, while Derby city centre expands the choice considerably. It means a night out, a meal with friends or the everyday school-and-shopping routine does not necessarily require travelling far from home. Connectivity completes the picture. Peartree railway station is approximately 3.2 km away, with Derby station around 3.8 km away, providing access to the wider rail network. Road connections towards the A38 are particularly useful from Littleover, opening routes towards the A50 and onward motorway network; published directions for nearby Nuffield Health Derby Hospital specifically route Littleover traffic via the A5250 to the A38, with the A50 providing onward access towards the M1. Nuffield Health It is this combination that gives Elms Avenue its appeal. You arrive at a traditional family home, but as you walk through it, the space becomes increasingly sociable — from the generous living room, through to the kitchen and dining area, out into the garden and then upstairs to three private bedrooms. Add schools, healthcare, green spaces, leisure facilities and strong transport connections around it, and the result is a home that feels well placed not just for where a family is today, but for the years ahead.
