Set back from Rosliston Road South with an open outlook to the front, Cherry Orchard is a substantial detached home dating back to the 1920s, extending to approximately 2,540 sq ft and offering considerably more space and flexibility than you might first expect.
There is plenty of character throughout the house. Tall ceilings, traditional panelled doors, handmade coving and the original double entrance doors remain, while a series of thoughtful extensions have created the kind of open, sociable living spaces that work particularly well for modern family life.
At the centre of the house is the open-plan kitchen, living and dining room. At around 30ft in length, it is a substantial space in its own right, with plenty of room for everyday dining and larger gatherings, while bi-fold doors open directly onto the gardens.
The separate sitting room gives the house a more intimate second living space, with a dual-sided wood-burning stove creating a natural focal point between the rooms.
One of Cherry Orchard’s biggest advantages is the accommodation positioned to one side of the house. Currently arranged with its own kitchen area, shower room and a large additional room, it offers genuine flexibility. It could work as guest or annexe accommodation, a substantial home office, additional family space or potentially as an Airbnb-style rental, subject to any necessary requirements.
The main house offers four bedrooms arranged across both floors. Two double bedrooms and the family bathroom sit on the ground floor, while a further two bedrooms and shower room are positioned upstairs, giving the layout a versatility that could suit families at several different stages of life.
Outside, the house is set well back from the road behind a generous frontage with parking for several vehicles. To the rear, the established gardens feel private and secluded, with mature planting and plenty of space for entertaining, children or simply enjoying the quieter setting.
Drakelow sits on the rural edge of Burton-on-Trent, with open countryside close by and Rosliston just a short distance away, home to village pubs, a Co-op and Rosliston Forestry Centre. The property also sits within the catchment area for the highly regarded John Taylor High School, a particular draw for families. Burton offers a wider range of shops, restaurants and everyday facilities, together with rail connections towards Derby and Birmingham. Road links are particularly convenient too, with the A38, A444, A511 and A50 providing access across the wider Midlands.

Secure Sale & Buyer Information Pack Disclosure
This property is being marketed with a Secure Sale Pack, designed to help speed up the transaction and provide greater certainty for both buyers and sellers.
As part of this process, key legal searches are ordered at the point the property is listed, rather than after a sale is agreed. This work, which can typically take several weeks in a standard transaction, is prepared upfront and made available to the successful buyer as part of their legal due diligence.
To proceed with an offer, the successful buyer will be required to purchase the Buyer Information Pack at a cost of £325 + VAT. This pack includes the searches and supporting legal information that a buyer would usually need to obtain separately after agreeing a purchase.
In addition, and in line with UK Anti-Money Laundering regulations, all purchasers and any giftors contributing funds must complete AML (Anti-Money Laundering) checks. These checks are payable separately and are required before the transaction can progress.
This upfront approach helps:
* Reduce delays once an offer is agreed
* Improve transparency for all parties
* Support a smoother and more reliable sales process
