The Detail
Upon entering The Cottage, you're immediately struck by the thoughtful blend of craftsmanship and contemporary style. This truly immaculate home offers an exceptional level of specification and finish that must be seen to be fully appreciated.
A composite double-glazed entrance door opens into a generous hallway, featuring oak-effect flooring and a contemporary oak staircase with inset glass panelling—a true statement feature. This is beautifully complemented by exposed brickwork and a stylish three-column radiator. The hallway provides access to the utility room/WC, with sliding engineered oak doors leading into the dining kitchen and living room.
The beautifully appointed dining kitchen is fitted with a range of stylish black woodgrain units, finished with antique brass handles and solid oak block worktops. A composite sink with a matte black mixer tap—including instant boiling water—completes the space. The kitchen is fully equipped with high-quality integrated appliances, including a Neff electric oven and grill, Neff induction hob, Neff extractor, Smeg dishwasher, and integrated fridge and freezer. Oak-effect flooring continues throughout, with a uPVC double-glazed window to the front and French doors to the side opening out to a private, enclosed patio seating area.
Adjacent to the kitchen is a cleverly designed utility room/WC, accessed via a folding engineered oak door. This practical space features an oak block worktop with plumbing for a washing machine, low-level WC with push-button flush, ceramic wash basin set within a vanity unit, matte black fixtures, a tall built-in storage cupboard, and a heated towel rail.
The living room is a warm and inviting space, with a feature fireplace complete with a slate hearth, cast iron surround, and open fire grate providing a charming focal point. Traditional character is enhanced by exposed brick detailing, recessed LED downlighters, and beamed ceilings. Stylish raw metal finish column radiators, dual-aspect uPVC windows, and French doors leading out to the landscaped rear garden complete the space.
Upstairs, a bright landing is illuminated by a remote-control Velux window and provides access to three bedrooms and the family bathroom. The spacious primary bedroom includes a built-in wardrobe and a front-facing window. Bedroom two is another generous double with a front-facing window, while bedroom three has a side-facing aspect. All bedrooms feature stylish column radiators.
The contemporary bathroom features a luxurious four-piece suite, including a two-tone freestanding bath with floor-standing tap and shower attachment, a walk-in shower with concealed controls, rain shower head and secondary attachment, concealed cistern WC, and a ceramic wash basin set in an antique brass vanity unit. Elegant gold fittings and a high-quality finish run throughout.
Outside, the property features a charming foregarden with raised planting beds and a timber panel fence with gated access leading to the side patio off the dining kitchen. Additional gated access opens to the beautifully landscaped main garden, which includes paved and gravel seating areas, steps up to a raised lawn with planted borders, a covered storage area, and access to a single detached garage. A double-width gravel driveway sits to the side of the garage, which also benefits from a remote-control electric roll-up door.
The Location
Willington is a highly desirable Derbyshire village that blends countryside charm with modern convenience. Ideally positioned between Burton-on-Trent and Derby, the village offers superb transport links via the A38 and A50, as well as a local train station with direct services to Derby and Birmingham.
The village itself boasts a wide range of amenities, including a local Co-op supermarket, doctor’s surgery, florist, hairdressers, a reputable primary school, and regular bus services.
Willington also falls within the catchment area for the sought-after John Port Spencer Academy, and lies just minutes from historic Repton — home to the prestigious Repton School.
Residents enjoy a warm community atmosphere, with independent cafés, riverside walks, and well-regarded pubs such as The Dragon and The Green Man. The picturesque Trent and Mersey Canal runs through the village, offering scenic walking and cycling routes, and leads to the nearby Mercia Marina — one of the UK’s largest inland marinas. This vibrant leisure destination features boutique shopping, weekend markets, and a range of waterside dining options, including the popular Indian restaurant The Lotus.
Whether you're sipping artisan coffee, enjoying countryside strolls, or commuting with ease, Willington offers a lifestyle that’s both relaxed and well-connected
