Home Farm is a spacious period former farmhouse set in a large plot with almost two acres of paddock and extensive informal gardens. The house blends original gritstone character—exposed timbers, vaulted ceiling and stone fireplaces—with a sympathetic 1989 extension that created generous family living, including a long first-floor sitting and dining room with good natural light.
The layout provides versatile family accommodation: four double bedrooms, two bathrooms, three reception rooms and useful utility/cloakroom spaces. Outside there is off-street parking for several vehicles, informal gravelled drive access to the paddock, and scope for landscaping, equestrian use or gardens to suit an owner’s needs.
Buyers should note the property requires a degree of updating and some rooms need cosmetic finishing; the current heating is oil-fired and drainage is by a septic tank. Council Tax is Band G, and the house is sold freehold. Broadband and mobile signals are strong and the location has low flood risk, good commuter links to Matlock, Alfreton and the A38/M1 corridor, and nearby good primary and secondary schools.
This is a well-balanced rural family home for someone wanting character, space and further potential rather than a fully modernised turnkey property. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale, character and grounds.
