3 Bed Terraced House, Single Let, Burton-on-Trent, DE15 0QP £495,000

Opposite is the living room, a warm, inviting space with a log-burning stove set beneath a chunky timber mantel and a wide window framing yet more field views. The room comfortably accommodates a large corner sofa and additional furniture, making it the place to gather on winter evenings after long walks from the lane.

First Floor

Stairs rise from the ground floor to a charming first-floor landing, with curved ceilings and panelled walls that give a gentle, characterful feel. The landing branches off to three generous bedrooms and the main bathroom.

The master bedroom is located at the end of the house and offers an impressive amount of space. Large cottage windows look directly out across uninterrupted countryside, giving the room a wonderfully open, uplifting feel from the moment you wake. The view is framed perfectly from the bed, allowing you to watch the fields change with the seasons without even stepping outside.

To the rear, a second double bedroom enjoys a beautiful outlook across open countryside. With a feature fireplace and soft green tones, it has a quietly romantic feel and makes a lovely guest bedroom or teenager’s room.

The third bedroom is another well-proportioned room, currently arranged as a dressing room and additional wardrobe space, but perfectly capable of serving as a further double bedroom or a generous study.

The bathroom is finished to a very high standard, combining a freestanding bathtub with a separate walk-in shower featuring dramatic stone-effect tiling. Bespoke vanity storage, quality fittings and warm flooring complete the space, giving it a boutique hotel feel.

Outside

Outside, the property continues to impress. Electric-style gates open onto a wide block-paved driveway which provides excellent off-street parking for several vehicles. The house itself has real presence, with its rendered exterior, cottage-style windows and timber porch giving a timeless, understated look.

A picket fence and pathway lead to a lawned front garden with planted borders and a seating area under the covered veranda – a lovely spot to enjoy a drink while looking across the garden towards the lane. To one side, there is a further landscaped area with a timber pergola and substantial garden shed, creating plenty of space for outdoor dining, growing beds or children’s play.

To the rear, accessed directly from the garden room, a stone terrace stretches along the back of the property and looks out over completely open fields. This is where the setting really comes into its own. There is ample room for outdoor furniture, loungers and a barbecue, and the sense of space and privacy is superb. It is easy to imagine long summer evenings spent here with friends, watching the sun dip behind the trees, or crisp winter mornings with a hot drink, listening to nothing but birdsong.

Location

Bretby Lane is a highly regarded semi-rural address, offering a genuine countryside feel while still being extremely well connected. From the front gate you can step straight out onto quiet lanes and footpaths, ideal for dog walking, running or gentle weekend strolls through the fields.

Despite the peaceful setting, everyday amenities are close by. Burton upon Trent, Swadlincote and Ashby-de-la-Zouch are all within easy reach by car, offering supermarkets, shops, cafés and restaurants, while the A38 and A50 provide straightforward links towards Derby, Lichfield, Birmingham and beyond. There are well-regarded local schools in the wider area, along with popular pubs and country inns for Sunday lunches and evenings out.
