The property

Willington 1.8 miles.

Tucked away in the idyllic village of Findern near Willington, Derbyshire, is this charming two-bedroom, detached bungalow, Orchard Cottage.

Enjoying a fabulous location with easy access to the local amenities and bustling city of Derby, Orchard Cottage is a fantastic dog-friendly dwelling for couples or a family of five, plus their two canine companions.

Park-up in one of two off-road parking spaces, before making your way into your new home from home.

Be welcomed into the open-plan living space, where you can look forward to whipping up delicious meals for your loved ones in the well-equipped kitchen, featuring a handy dishwasher and washing machine, ready to enjoy at the dining table for four over a celebratory bottle of fizz.

If the weather is nice, why not choose from two outdoor seating areas where you can dine alfresco, as your pooches run and play on the large lawns?

After dinner, retire to the plush sofas where you can snuggle up and watch a family favourite on the Freeview TV.

After a day of exploring, treat your muscles to a soothing soak in the bath or a hot shower, before choosing from two well-appointed bedrooms, a super-king-size with zip/link and its own en-suite shower room and a twin with trundle, both of which offer plenty of storage and Freeview TVs for those leisurely wake-ups over a steaming cup of coffee.

Head to the neighbouring village of Willington for your local amenities, where you will find the beautiful Mercia Marina, peppered with an excellent selection of pubs, eateries, a tearoom and shops, so there are plenty of dining options to choose from on those evenings when you don’t feel like cooking!

There is also a well-stocked convenience store for stocking up on any last-minute essentials.

Wildlife enthusiasts will delight at the Willington Wetlands Nature Reserve where you can spot the local wildlife, or if that isn’t your thing, enjoy leisurely walks along the flowing River Trent.

For a taste of city life, head into Derby where you will find a wealth of attractions, including the imposing Derby Cathedral, The Museum of Making at Derby Silk Mill and the Derby Museum & Art Gallery.

Next stop is Burton upon Trent, where you can tour the National Brewery Museum, test out your clubs at the excellent golf club or visit the nearby National Forest Adventure Farm for a fun family day out.

For the ultimate day trip, why not make the drive over to Alton, where you can enjoy the thrills and delights of the renowned Alton Towers Theme Park?

All this and more awaits at Orchard Cottage.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.

FINDERN

Mercia Marina 1 mile; Derby 6 miles; Burton-on-Trent 8 miles; Swadlincote 9 miles.

Findern is a lovely village situated about six miles west of Derby. The village green is overlooked by All Saints Parish Church where a carved semi-circular stone or 'tympanum' discovered when the previous Norman Church was demolished in 1862, is preserved. There are great walks in the area and the largest inland marina in Europe, Mercia Marina with its bars, boutique shops and restaurants is just one mile away. It is a great base to explore the Peak District with its market towns of Bakewell and Ashbourne, as well as its many pretty villages. Also the National Trust properties of Calke Abbey, Kedleston Hall and Sudbury Hall with its museum of childhood are all within 10 miles. A little further is the National Trust owned Hardwick Hall, and the Duke of Devonshire's Chatsworth Estate with its annual country fair and Adventure Farm for children. The National Memorial Arboretum and the rich heritage of Burton-on-Trent with its fantastic National Brewery Centre Museum is just down the road. You can also venture into the National Forest with the award-winning Conkers attraction just 10 miles away, plus Castle Donnington race track is just 20 minutes’ drive and Alton Towers is 30 minutes’ away. Something for everyone, every day of the year.
