Character farmhouse with huge grounds, caravan income and conversion potential.
Four-bedroom renovated stone farmhouse blending period character and modern systems
Set within approximately 7.5 acres on the edge of Winkhill and adjacent to the Peak District, Elderberry Barn is a character stone farmhouse that has been sympathetically renovated to blend period features with modern systems. The main house offers four bedrooms, flexible reception rooms and contemporary bathrooms; exposed beams, stone fireplaces and handcrafted finishes preserve the property’s 17th‑century charm while underfloor heating and a ground‑source heat pump deliver efficient comfort.
The estate is arranged for mixed use: a successful small caravan business with five pitches and guest facilities currently generates supplementary income (Pitchup score 9.9). Renovated stone outbuildings and a large agricultural building (55ft x 42ft) provide secure storage and clear scope for conversion to camping barns, equestrian facilities or additional holiday accommodation, subject to planning.
Practicalities are straightforward for rural living — gated private drive, ample parking for agricultural machinery, hardwired CCTV, sewage treatment plant and a mix of gardens, orchard and paddocks. Fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and low local crime make the property usable year‑round for family life, remote working or a holiday‑letting business.
Important points to note: the advertised house footprint is modest (circa 1,028 sq ft) compared with the very large plot, so the living space is compact relative to the land; some conversions (camping barns, annexe, equestrian use) will need planning consent. Heating and services include a ground‑source heat pump, underfloor heating, LPG for the Rangemaster and an electric oven; the sewage system is a treatment plant emptied annually.
