Approached via a private driveway, the property enjoys a sense of privacy and distinction that immediately sets it apart.

Upon entering through the charming barn-style front door, you are welcomed into a spacious entrance hall that sets the tone for the rest of the home. The thoughtfully designed layout unfolds into a delightful cottage-style kitchen, complete with arched windows, a Belfast sink, wooden worktops and a range of integrated appliances, combining practicality with timeless style. The kitchen flows effortlessly into a dining room, which in turn opens into an impressive living room. Here, exposed timber beams, a striking brick inglenook fireplace with a multi fuel burner and a beautiful church-style curved window create a warm and inviting atmosphere, ideal for both relaxing and entertaining.

Both the dining room and living room are enhanced by elegant French doors, opening onto a generous patio and a wonderfully private rear garden, offering a tranquil setting for outdoor dining and leisure. A secluded side garden provides an additional peaceful seating area, while the raised decked area offers a wonderful view of the well stocked and tranquil south facing garden.

The ground floor further benefits from a versatile office space, ideal for home working or equally suited as a snug or playroom, alongside access to the internal single garage providing extra parking or storage/workshop space.

To the first floor, a galleried landing leads to a truly impressive principal bedroom, measuring an outstanding 23ft. This remarkable space features a vaulted ceiling rising to approximately 15ft, exposed wooden beams and arched windows that frame picturesque views across the gardens and surrounding countryside. The accompanying en-suite shower room is finished to a high standard, boasting a walk-in rainfall shower and elegant grey slate tiling.

Three further generously sized double bedrooms provide ample accommodation, each comfortably accommodating bedroom furnishings. The family bathroom is beautifully styled with a nod to Victorian elegance, complete with a classic slipper bath and traditional fittings.

Throughout the property, hardwood flooring enhances the sense of quality and character, while UPVC double-glazed windows have been sympathetically designed to retain their original arched and curved aesthetic.

Ideally positioned just four miles from Chesterfield town centre, the property enjoys the perfect balance of rural tranquillity and convenient access to local amenities. Picturesque countryside can be reached within moments, with the Chesterfield Canal located approximately one mile away, offering scenic walks and cycling routes.

The private courtyard setting provides a secure and peaceful environment, particularly well suited to families, and the property benefits from two allocated parking spaces—one on the cobbled driveway to the front and a further space within the courtyard.

Offered for sale with no onward chain, this truly unique home combines charm, space and an enviable setting. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate all that this exceptional property has to offer.
