Summary - A superb opportunity to purchase a charming detached period farmhouse together with a substantial traditional barn and other ancillary buildings set in a delightful garden in beautiful countryside.
The property is located in a rural part of Derbyshire close to the village of Snelston but only 3 miles from the sought after market town of Ashbourne.
It has excellent road access links to the A515 on onward to the A50 and national road networks.
The house itself offers character and versatile accommodation all of which requires modernisation and improvement .
The attractive brick built barn has potential for a number of uses including possible conversion into a dwelling (subject to consent) or for ancillary use to the farmhouse

Accommodation - The main entrance into the house leads into a Lobby with doors to the Kitchen, Utility Room and Dining Room. From the Dining Room is accessed the remaining ground floor rooms and the staircase to the first floor.

The first floor contains four Bedrooms all accessed from the Landing. There are some lovely period features including two fireplaces of interest. As with the ground floor there is scope to reconfigure the use or layout of the accommodation

In particular there are a pair of traditional brick pig sties and a most useful three bay hay barn with lean-to.
