The standard specification has been carefully considered and includes feature staircases, underfloor heating to the ground floor, flooring throughout, quartz work surfaces, Crosswater sanitaryware, SOLUS tiling, solar PV, electric vehicle charging points, double garages and turfed rear gardens.
Homes can also be tailored to individual purchasers, with options including smart home integration, cinema rooms, media walls, air conditioning, dressing areas and wardrobes, installed and commissioned hot tubs, feature fireplaces, Crittall-style doors and a wide choice of kitchen, flooring and bathroom upgrades.

Local area
Parkland. Heritage. Perspective.
Moments from home lies Allestree Park — one of the UK’s largest urban parks — where historic parkland, protected woodland, a scenic lake and sweeping open countryside create an extraordinary natural backdrop to everyday life. Morning walks, weekend cycles and tranquil evening strolls become part of the rhythm of living here.
Nearby, the grandeur of Kedleston Hall and the immaculate fairways of Kedleston Park Golf Club offer heritage, leisure and social prestige in equal measure — a setting that quietly reflects the calibre of its surroundings.
Refined Village Living
The neighbouring villages of Quarndon and Duffield are renowned for their charm and quality.
The Joiners Arms in Quarndon delivers elevated dining within a beautifully restored country setting, while Bradmans Wine Bar in Duffield provides a stylish, intimate space for relaxed evenings and curated wines.
Just five minutes from The Firs, Duffield offers an excellent collection of independent boutiques, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities — combining convenience with character.
Closer still, Blenheim Parade is within walking distance, home to a Co-op, Tesco Express and café, with Park Farm Centre nearby — including the much-loved Birds Bakery.

For private education, some of the region’s most established institutions are within easy reach:
- The Old Vicarage School (Primary)

- Repton School
- Denstone College
A breadth of choice that ensures long-term confidence for growing families.
