Quirky duplex apartment central location - 2 bed

Our two storey apartment was built in 1810, is grade II listed and is part of the conservation area of Melbourne. Built by William Warren and Valentine Radford, it was traditionally the living quarters to a bakery below. It sits on floors two and three in a three storey building with a private entrance and it's own off street parking space to the rear. With lots of original and traditional features, it has sash windows, a log burner and some quirky staircases for you to enjoy. A quirky blend of original and new. A newly fitted light and spacious kitchen with eating area, a cosy lounge with log burner and Sky Q and smart television (giving access to Netflix and Amazon Prime, etc.). There are two bedrooms; one quirky small double which fits a double futon sofa bed (the double futon is a tight fit but has storage space too) and and a large double room which takes up the whole top floor with wardrobe space. We have a newly replaced bathroom with a deep bathtub and a separate large shower. Our apartment is accessed by going upstairs - these are old and spiral slightly so those who struggle with stairs might find them a bit tricky. Our property is original and quirky and we really hope you love it as much as us. The flat is above a commercial space which we also own. The ground floor is operated as a cocktail bar, which is open only at weekends. The capacity is only around 25 persons, so isn’t too lively. They occasionally have live music on Saturday evenings. Last orders are at 11pm, but your sleep won't be disturbed in the main top bedroom. We live nearby so will be on hand if you need us. We're really happy to help with recommendations for your stay. The apartment is 8 miles from the city of Derby, 10 mins from East Midlands airport and the M42 and strolling distance from Amalfi White (a popular restaurant, bar and wedding venue), the Bay Tree (an award winning restaurant) and 5 mins in a car to Donington Race Track. We are also a short drive from other attractions, such as National Trust Calke Abbey, Staunton Harold amongst other historical attractions. Melbourne itself hosts an array of events at the Melbourne Assembly Rooms and has Melbourne Hall and gardens which is open to visitors at certain times of the year. Melbourne has a range of independent shops, from interiors to clothes, pubs, bars, restaurants and historical sites - Thomas Cook was born here! For lazy breakfasts, Melbourne Deli is a couple of doors away and have everything from freshly baked bread to cheese, hams and sandwiches. We are also a walk from Tori and Ben's farm shop, voted in the top 20 farm shops in the UK where you can sit in or take away. There is a single parking space, off road and to the rear of the apartment which can fit two cars at a squeeze (one behind the other). There is also on street parking. There is a bus stop 1 minute walk away with regular buses to Derby city centre and Swadlincote. Village Cars are our local taxi service and are located on the edge of Melbourne.
