Set within open countryside yet close to Belper, this detached barn conversion blends rustic character with contemporary comforts. The showpiece kitchen/diner and large garden room provide generous family living and entertaining space, while the landscaped gardens, greenhouse and broad lawn deliver strong outdoor appeal. The home is offered chain-free and sits in the Ecclesbourne School catchment — a clear draw for families.
Practical strengths include double glazing (post-2002), mains gas central heating, a wood-burning stove in the living room and useful utility and study spaces. Off-street parking is provided for multiple vehicles and planning was previously granted (now lapsed) for a single-storey garage should a buyer wish to reapply.
Buyers should be aware of some material considerations. The property lies in a high flood-risk area — buyers should obtain flood-impact and insurance advice. The thick granite/whinstone walls are assumed uninsulated, so there is likely scope (and cost) to improve thermal performance. Broadband speeds are slow in this remoter community despite excellent mobile signal.
Overall this is a spacious, characterful family home on a very large plot, offering immediate liveability with scope to personalise and improve energy efficiency. For those seeking rural space, garden potential and strong school catchment credentials, it represents a compelling countryside opportunity.
