Set within about 4.5 acres on the edge of a sought-after rural village, this stone-built detached home combines extensive equestrian facilities with generous family living space. Stables, a manège, barn, tack room and workshop provide immediate use for horse owners or scope for alternative outbuilding uses. The plot includes paddocks, landscaped lawns, patio and decked entertaining areas, plus a large vegetable garden with polytunnel.
The house offers substantial internal space (around 3,970 sqft) across multiple storeys. A newly fitted open-plan dining kitchen with island and garden access forms the social heart of the home, while an elegant lounge with feature fireplace and adjoining conservatory captures countryside views. Four double bedrooms include two en-suites and a master with fitted wardrobes; a galleried landing and high ceilings add light and scale.
Practical strengths include ample off-street parking for multiple vehicles, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing, and a useful utility, pantry and study. The outbuildings and land are major value drivers for buyers seeking an equestrian lifestyle or large private grounds close to Dronfield’s amenities.
Notable considerations: the original solid brick walls are assumed to have no insulation, which may require works to improve thermal performance. Glazing install dates are unknown. The property is older (constructed c.1900–1929) and, while extremely large and well-proportioned, could need ongoing maintenance and selective updating in parts. Local crime statistics are above average; buyers should satisfy themselves on security and community matters.
