VENDORS COMMENT
"The cottage felt like home from the moment we first moved in. We’ve loved living in the heart of Castle Donington, which has the perfect balance of peace and quiet whilst being only a stone’s throw from local independent shops, restaurants and pubs. We’ve enjoyed soaking up the sunshine in our enclosed private garden on a summer's day, and come winter spent many evenings in front of the fire with a takeaway from one of the local Indian restaurants."

THE PROPERTY AND VILLAGE
The subject property is a delightful period cottage offering a wealth of character, being situated adjacent to the striking 13th century parish church of St Edwards. It is believed that part of the property dates to the 19th century, subsequently having been sympathetically extended over the preceding years to provide a well proportioned family home. The vertical beam in the living/dining room is believed to have been taken from the original bell tower frame of the church. Clapgun Street is ideally placed for the centre of Castle Donington and the extensive range of amenities.

Castle Donington itself is a vibrant location with a high standard of amenities including shops, post office, doctors surgery, pharmacy, supermarket, pubs and restaurants. For the commuter East Midlands airport, Parkway railway station and the national motorway network are all readily accessible as are the centres of Nottingham, Derby and Leicester via the 24 hour running Skylink bus service.
