Standing alongside a number of period character homes and conversions which were formerly part of Home Farm, this modern stone-built property is built in keeping with the neighbouring cottages and offers a versatile range of accommodation across three floors. With three first floor bedrooms, there are additional bedrooms and ancillary space on the lower ground floor, providing ample opportunity for home working, hobbies or simply for the larger family. The sitting room features a broad arched window, mirroring those of the neighbouring barn and allowing delightful views across neighbouring land.

The collection of homes at Home Farm creates an interesting hamlet, part of Hopton village and with easy access to the recreational attractions of Carsington Water, Black Rock and the surrounding Derbyshire Dales countryside. Good road links the nearby market towns of Ashbourne (7 miles), Wirksworth (2 miles), Matlock (6 miles) and the cities of Derby and Nottingham are each considered to lie within daily commuting distance.
