Property Details

Each new home at Cotchett Village is built to a high internal specification, aiming for modern, flexible living spaces. Key features included as standard are designer kitchens with integrated appliances, off-street parking, and stylish, fashionable tiling choices. All properties benefit from a 10-year warranty for homeowner peace of mind.

Specific house types, like the 3-bedroom 'Oakwood', feature an open-plan kitchen/dining area with integrated appliances, a spacious living room, a ground floor WC, and a primary bedroom with a private en-suite shower room. Show homes, including the 'Horbury' and 'Netherton' view homes, are available for viewing to demonstrate the design and finish of the properties.

Location Benefits

The location offers excellent transport links for commuters. The Derby Southern Bypass is approximately 3 miles away, providing quick access to the M1 for routes north to Nottingham and Sheffield, or south towards Leicester and London. Derby Station is a circa 15-minute drive from the development, offering regular rail services to major cities, with London accessible in under 2 hours. Local bus transport is available via the Trent Barton ‘villager’ service from the Mickleover Turn stop, which is around a 10-minute walk away.

Local amenities are comprehensive. Mickleover village centre provides local shops, a Tesco Superstore (approximately 5 minutes by car), pubs, and restaurants. For leisure, Mickleover Golf Club, the scenic Markeaton Park (5-minute drive), and Kedleston Hall (National Trust, 15-minute drive) are easily accessible. The Mercia Marina, featuring boutique shops and waterside dining, is a 12-minute drive. The local area benefits from established schooling options, including Mickleover Primary School and the secondary Littleover Community School.

Practical Information

Avant Homes operates under the New Homes Quality Code and is registered with the New Homes Quality Board. The company has historically held a 5-star HBF customer satisfaction rating, although recent industry data indicated a rating of three-stars (77.5% satisfaction) as of 2023. This is an essential detail for buyers conducting due diligence on the developer's track record. The wider New House Farm development is planned to eventually deliver further local infrastructure, including a new school, supermarket, shops, and a doctor's surgery.
