A rare, historically important farmhouse and large ring-fenced holding just 1.5 miles from Ashbourne. The three-storey Grade II listed house (c.1650) extends to about 3,302 sq.ft and sits within circa 30 acres of amenity pasture and garden, with a further c.84.6 acres available as Lot 2. The setting offers far-reaching rural views, river frontage and woodland — excellent for equestrian, amenity or agricultural buyers.
The house and buildings offer substantial scope for change: traditional and modern outbuildings (c.7,997 sq.ft) may suit conversion to ancillary accommodation or alternative uses subject to planning (STP). The farm is offered with vacant possession and has strong lifestyle appeal close to the Peak District and local schools; fast broadband speeds make remote working realistic.
Important practical points: the farmhouse requires comprehensive refurbishment and modernisation — single glazing throughout, dated oil heating and a private drainage system that will need replacement. Several agricultural buildings need repair, some roofs may contain asbestos, and the Grade II listing will restrict alterations and add consenting complexity.
There are also legal and commercial considerations: public rights of way cross the land, overhead electricity lines are present, and an overage provision covers future development on the yard and buildings (25% uplift for 25 years). The offering will suit purchasers prepared for a sensitive restoration or developers/investors willing to navigate listed-building and planning constraints.
