Fernwood Place
Combining a wonderful sense of open air and broad horizons with the convenience of excellent local services, this superb development presents a rare opportunity to make a home in one of Derby’s most desirable and popular neighbourhoods. With easy access to both city centre amenities and tranquil moorland, it offers the best of all worlds.
Location
From its origins around the delightful historic village of the same name, Littleover has today grown into a thriving community.
Leisure
Close to Sinfin Moor, with its adjacent golf-course, park and playing-fields, and with open farmland to the south, Fernwood Place is an excellent base for the walker or outdoor enthusiast. Derby has over 300 public green areas, including formal gardens, magnificent botanic collections and wildlife habitats. Markeaton Park, less than four miles from the development, is the city’s most popular leisure facility, with a golf- course, boating and fishing lakes, karting, crazy golf and a miniature railway. There is a David Lloyd fitness centre in Pride Park, and a Showcase Cinema and a Megabowl at the Foresters Park Centre, around a mile- and-a-half from Fernwood Place. The city’s comprehensive selection of cultural amenities includes the Metro Cinema, the celebrated Derby Playhouse, and the Assembly Rooms, with its lively programme of comedy, music, dance and drama.
Shopping
A Co-op store in Stenson Road, just a short walk from Fernwood Place, provides a convenient source for everyday needs, and there is a supermarket under half a mile away in Oaklands Drive, and a selection of local shops in nearby Blagreaves Lane. A second supermarket can be found nearby in Sinfin, and Derby city centre has an excellent range of retailers, many of them housed in the modern Eagle Centre.
Transport
Fernwood Place is just a short drive from the M1 and the A38, bringing Nottingham, Leicester and Birmingham into easy commuting range. Derby is on the Intercity rail network, and Nottingham East Midlands Airport is only around nine miles away.
