Summary - STONEY ROODS, AUDISHAW LANE, ASHBOURNE, BOYLESTONE DE6 5AE
Approximately 4 acres of mature gardens and grounds
Stonyrood is a substantial, characterful five-bedroom farmhouse set within roughly four acres of mature gardens and grounds. The house retains original period features — exposed beams, fireplaces and a stained-glass front door — giving rooms strong historic character and generous, flexible living spaces including two reception rooms, a study and a conservatory. A long driveway, detached double garage and workshop add practical parking and storage for family life in the country.
The plot includes ownership of approximately one third of an adjacent field, a pond, fruit trees and former tennis lawn now softened by mature planting. Wide rural views, a quiet stream along the boundary and footpath access make the property well suited to those wanting privacy, outdoor space and scope for small-scale grazing, gardens or leisure use.
Buyers should note clear practical considerations: the house is of solid brick construction (likely without cavity insulation), uses LPG-fired boiler and radiators, has older double glazing and slow broadband/mobile signal. The property is currently not registered at the Land Registry and services/appliances have not been tested; a full survey and conveyancing checks are recommended. Council tax is described as quite expensive.
Sold with no onward chain, Stonyrood will suit families or buyers seeking a countryside retreat with authentic period detail and substantial grounds — particularly those prepared to invest in updating heating, insulation and broadband to make the house fully comfortable for modern living.
