- Huge plot with gardens, patio, greenhouse and countryside views
- Detached garage and ample driveway parking for several vehicles

A characterful Grade II listed barn conversion set on a very large plot in desirable Duffield, offering village life with open countryside views. The main house provides three bedrooms, generous reception rooms with exposed beams, and a farmhouse-style kitchen; a self-contained one-bedroom annex offers flexible use for guests, extended family or an income-producing holiday let.
Practical positives include ample driveway parking, a detached garage, established gardens on all sides and placement within the Ecclesbourne School catchment. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and the property sits in a low-crime, affluent area with nearby village amenities and farm shops.
Buyers should be aware of several material constraints. The Grade II listing will restrict alterations and may increase maintenance costs; the stone walls are assumed uninsulated and the double glazing predates 2002. Heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators, which can be costlier to run and maintain. Council tax is above average.
This home will suit buyers seeking country character with practical versatility — families wanting room and schooling advantages, or purchasers looking for a home-plus-annex opportunity. It rewards buyers willing to manage listed-building responsibilities and potential energy upgrades to improve long-term running costs.
