Church Farm is a substantial period farmhouse set on rising ground in Edlaston, just south of Ashbourne within the sought-after Derbyshire countryside. The principal house offers generous family accommodation across five bedrooms, large reception rooms with exposed beams, inglenook and Derbyshire stone fireplaces, and an attic room converted for occasional use. Two attached holiday cottages (Orchard Cottage and Church Farm Cottage) provide independent accommodation and present immediate income or flexible space for extended family.
The grounds are a major asset: about 1.7 acres of owned land including a paddock, small orchard and separate garden areas for the holiday cottages, with further acreage available by separate negotiation. There is extensive off-street parking, hardstanding suitable for a stable or shed, and far-reaching countryside views from many rooms. The layout and plot also offer equestrian potential or opportunities to adapt outbuildings subject to planning.
Practical points to note: the house is oil-heated via boiler and radiators (oil tank and supply not community), the walls are solid brick with assumed no insulation, and several character features (decorative cast iron range) are not operational. Council tax is described as expensive. The property is approached by a farm track and viewing is by appointment.
This home suits buyers seeking a large period family house with income potential from holiday lets, those wanting land and equestrian use, or families who value privacy and countryside views. It will reward sympathetic updating rather than a full modern refit, and buyers should budget for typical maintenance and energy improvements for a solid-wall Victorian property.
