Set within a small, semi-rural development in Somersal Herbert, this characterful 4-bedroom barn conversion occupies a generous 0.35-acre plot and offers about 2,500 sq ft of versatile living. The house combines original barn features — exposed trusses, brick fireplaces and oak floors — with modern fittings including a recently fitted dining kitchen and two Clearview log burners. A detached double garage with a loft room and a powered timber log cabin extend usable space and scope for home working or short-stay rental income (subject to consents).
The layout lends itself to multi‑generational living: two ground-floor doubles, a family/snug, and a first-floor master with en suite and Jack-and-Jill arrangement to an adjoining bedroom create natural separation and privacy. Outside, mature lawns, hedging and a paved patio create sheltered entertaining areas; the driveway with gated parking provides extensive vehicle space. The property’s semi-rural position offers countryside tranquillity while retaining reasonable access to Ashbourne, Uttoxeter and regional roads.
Buyers should note a few practical considerations: heating is provided by an LPG boiler (not a community supply), drainage is to a septic tank, and the EPC is rated E. Broadband speeds are very slow in this location and mobile signal is average — factors to check if remote working or heavy streaming are priorities. Council Tax is band E. Overall, this home will suit buyers seeking a spacious, character-led rural property with flexible accommodation and garden outbuildings, who are prepared to accept LPG heating and limited broadband capacity.
