Parsons Green, Derby

What’s more, you could be making your first cuppa before you know it, as there’s no upward chain.

Blurring the lines between town and country living, elegant Langley Country Park is just a couple of miles from Derby, but feels worlds away from the hustle and bustle of city life. No.19 enjoys a cul de sac position and is well presented throughout. This lovely home is also still under NHBC warranty for added peace of mind.

Park with ease on the adjacent driveway. There’s plenty of room for a couple of cars here and nothing beats being able to unload a full boot effortlessly.

Inside, it’s open plan heaven with a really sociable dining kitchen and lounge just off the hallway. There’s a good range of kitchen cabinets and ample worktop space, together with an integrated oven and hob and space for standalone large appliances. This area flows seamlessly through to the lounge, where you can relax and unwind. The French doors open up into the garden - gorgeous on a summer’s day with a warm breeze wafting in, cool drink in hand.

There’s a modern, white suite in the downstairs cloakroom and handy storage to keep shoes and coats discreetly hidden away.

Upstairs you’ll find two double bedrooms with built in wardrobes. The family bathroom is modern, again with a white suite, and tiled floor. Steal a few moments for a long bath when time allows, or enjoy a quick, refreshing shower when it’s one of ‘those mornings’.

Outside, the rear garden is low maintenance, giving you more time to actually enjoy your al fresco space with friends and family - although there is a shed for gardening bits and bobs should the urge to potter arise. Ultrafast broadband is on tap too, wherever you choose to work – or play – even if that’s right here on a lounger. The path also leads through the garden gate round to the driveway, providing that oh-so-useful side access.

• Three words :  Modern. Townhouse. Country Park.
