House For Sale £400,000
The property was designed by the noted Derby architect Mr Derek Montague and built in 1952. Miramar's streamlined form and geometric detail imbue this very special, modern home with the Art Deco style of the 1930s. Miramar was commissioned by a local businessman, and assimilates notes of the jazz age, the functional plain white surfaces of modernism, the flat roofs and windows of the streamlining liner style and the nuance of the Californian beach house, all to excellent effect.
Miramar provides versatile accommodation, which has been extensively improved over recent years and yet retains its original character. The kitchen has original hardwood Nevastane units as featured in Ideal Home Magazine of 1955, which make for practical yet fun domesticity. The bathroom suite and tiling are original to the 1950s. The bath is enamelled cast iron and 5' 11" in length. The spacious and light reception room has a sitting area, dining area, with a triple aspect providing expansive views over the rear garden. There are three double bedrooms.
Situated in a gently elevated position, to the front are fine views of the ancient woodland and unspoilt countryside that surround the magnificent rolling grasslands and specimen trees of Markeaton Park. This expanse of greenery, including a row of ancient poplars, is visible through the floor to ceiling picture window in the entrance hallway at Miramar.
Attention is drawn to the Rointe thermodynamic fluid filled individual electric radiators throughout the property which is a low powered consumption heating system, each radiator featuring an individual thermostat control which can be computer programmed. There is also a newly installed air recirculation system throughout the property. The accommodation comprises porch, reception hall, guest cloakroom, very large reception room incorporating a sitting area, dining area and garden room area enjoying a triple aspect, breakfast kitchen with larder, three double bedrooms and a four piece bathroom.

Local facilities are a short walk across open parkland and include greengrocers, confectioners, post office, hardware store, hairdressers, newsagents, and a small supermarket.
