Set within approximately four acres on the edge of Brackenfield, this substantial barn conversion blends country character with modern living. The property offers a dramatic main reception with vaulted ceiling that opens at both ends onto a Mediterranean-style courtyard and a front patio, creating strong indoor–outdoor flow for family entertaining. A large open-plan kitchen/living/dining area and utility room support everyday life, while a generous master suite with en-suite provides a private retreat.
The adjoining one-bedroom annexe adds versatility — ideal for a dependent relative, home office, or occasional guest accommodation. Outside there is useful agricultural outbuildings: a timber stable with earth floor and a barn, suitable for equestrian use or smallholding activities. The plot delivers seclusion and scope to landscape, keep animals, or create formal gardens.
Buyers should note the property’s unconventional internal layout: the plan is non-standard and will likely require an internal viewing to appreciate circulation and room relationships. Practical drawbacks include slow broadband speeds, an earth-floored stable (not ready for immediate use without upgrade), and an expensive council tax band. There is no flood risk, and the home is presented in superb condition throughout, but anyone reliant on high-speed internet or seeking a turn-key equestrian setup should factor in additional work or services.
Location is a key strength: walking distance to Ogston Reservoir, about five miles from Matlock and the Peak District, and roughly four miles to Alfreton station for wider connections. For families seeking space, privacy and countryside access, this barn offers a rare combination of land, flexible accommodation and character close to regional amenities.
