Set in about two acres of paddocks and cottage garden, this stone-built farmhouse blends substantial living space with genuine rural character. Parts of the house date to 1737 and retain original beams, exposed stone walls, stone-flag floors and two multi-fuel stoves — features that create a warm, authentic family home and deliver superb far-reaching countryside views.
The accommodation is arranged over multiple levels and includes four double bedrooms, a family bathroom, generous breakfast kitchen, dining room, beamed sitting room and a large drawing room opening onto a flagged terrace. Practical outbuildings include a stone-built double garage with workshop and an additional stone store, well suited to vehicles, hobbies or stable/toy storage for smallholding use.
Buyers should note the property runs from an independent water supply (private borehole) and private drainage. Heating is oil-fired with a coal/solid-fuel boiler and multi-fuel stoves, and broadband speeds are very slow — important for those who work from home or need fast connectivity. Council tax is in Band F and parts of the fabric, given the age, will require ongoing conservation and maintenance.
For families seeking space, privacy and a strong village-school catchment (Ashover Primary), the house is an appealing rural base within commuting distance of Derby, Sheffield and Chesterfield. The large plot, period features and stone outbuildings create clear potential for diversification, home working with improved connectivity, or sympathetic updating to suit modern family living.
