Summary - Meadowhayes Farm, Audishaw Lane, Boylestone Ashbourne DE6 5AE
Georgian farmhouse with large rooms and high ceilings
A substantial four-bedroom Georgian farmhouse set on about 23 acres (9.31 ha) of productive Grade 3 land, Meadowhayes Farm offers genuine rural versatility. The house retains period proportions — large rooms, high ceilings and sash windows — and sits on a hill with wide, uninterrupted views across Derbyshire into Staffordshire and Leicestershire. Attached and adjacent brick outbuildings, a two-bay hay barn and former stock sheds support livestock, equine or hobby-farm uses.
The accommodation is spacious and adaptable: entrance hall, large sitting and dining rooms, breakfast kitchen, useful pantry/utility, cellar and four double bedrooms served by a single family bathroom. Rooms could be reconfigured to create more modern living arrangements; the property will suit buyers comfortable with updating rather than turnkey presentation. Services comprise mains water and electricity, oil-fired central heating and private drainage via a septic tank.
Externally the farmhouse is approached by a long private driveway with parking near the kitchen entrance. Gardens wrap around the house and mature hedges and trees ring-fence the fields, giving privacy and shelter. The land is accessible by tractor, has been used for mowing and grazing, and offers scope for continued agricultural enterprise, equestrian use or amenity land. A public footpath crosses the edge of the holding.
Important practical points: there is only one bathroom, heating is oil-fired and drainage is by septic tank — considerations for running costs and maintenance. The property lies in a remote hamlet with average mobile signal and potentially variable broadband speeds despite generally fast service in the area. Council Tax sits at a higher band (F). These are balanced by very low local crime, generous parking and excellent countryside privacy.
