An exceptional rural estate comprising two stone-built homes set within about six acres of parkland, paddock and woodland. Bridge Farm (3,358 sq ft) and The Dovecote (1,141 sq ft) offer a combined 5,501 sq ft of characterful accommodation, extensive outbuildings and stables — ideal for multigenerational living, an equestrian lifestyle or a holiday-let portfolio.
The properties enjoy elevated countryside views, south-facing terrace, Henmore Brook frontage with exclusive fishing rights and a sweeping gated driveway with generous parking. The Dovecote’s attached barns and stores (c.980 sq ft) present clear development potential subject to consents, while the oak-framed former pool room provides a large ancillary entertainment space or scope for reinstatement.
Both houses retain many period and reclaimed features but are in need of renovation and modernisation. Services include oil-fired central heating, mains electricity and water with septic tank; FTTP/FTTH is available but current broadband speeds are described as slow. Council tax bands are high (Bridge Farm F, The Dovecote C) and heating relies on oil boilers, which are cost and maintenance considerations.
This estate suits buyers seeking privacy, space and flexibility: owners wanting to combine family accommodation with income, equestrian users needing paddocks and stables, or developers seeking conversion opportunities. The location in the Derbyshire Dales places Carsington Water and the Peak District within easy reach, with good road and rail connections to Derby and beyond.
