Characterful four-bed barn on over half an acre with superb rural outlook.
Far-reaching countryside views including Hardwick Hall
A substantial four-bedroom barn conversion set in picturesque countryside with far-reaching views, generous living spaces and abundant character. The house sits on a very large plot (just over half an acre quoted) with a gravel driveway, courtyard and mature landscaped gardens plus a paddock area — ideal for families who want outdoor space and privacy.
Internally the layout centres on open-plan living: a large open-plan kitchen, lounge/diner and separate utility, with high ceilings, exposed beams and a feature fireplace with log burner. Three of the four bedrooms have en-suite facilities and there is an additional family bathroom, giving flexible accommodation for children, guests or home office use.
Practical considerations are important: the property is heated by an oil-fired boiler and radiators (not on a community fuel supply), the walls are solid brick and assumed to lack cavity insulation, and broadband speeds are very slow — factors to budget for in running and upgrading the home. Council tax is described as expensive and local crime levels are above average.
This is a strong choice for buyers seeking character, space and rural outlook close to road links (M1 Junction 29 and A38). It will particularly appeal to families or buyers wanting a countryside lifestyle, but those prioritising high-speed connectivity or low-running costs should factor in likely improvement works.
