Vernon Lane Farm, Robridding Road Ashover, Chesterfield, S45

£1,100,000 - £1,200,000 (Guide price) Welcome to Vernon Lane Farm. Set within approximately seven acres of rolling Derbyshire countryside, where uninterrupted views stretch for miles and complete tranquillity comes as standard, this beautifully restored stone-built farmhouse offers a lifestyle that's increasingly difficult to find.

Combining timeless period character with thoughtfully modernised interiors, the property is accompanied by a detached holiday cottage, substantial agricultural building and extensive garaging, creating a home that is as versatile as it is beautiful.

This is far more than a country house. It's a home where mornings begin with uninterrupted countryside views, afternoons are spent exploring the surrounding landscape, and evenings draw to a close beside a log fire as the sun disappears behind the hills. A rare opportunity to enjoy one of Derbyshire's most idyllic rural lifestyles.

The Accommodation - Extending to 2,766 sq ft, the farmhouse has been designed around modern family life whilst celebrating its agricultural heritage. Original beams, exposed stonework and roaring log-burning stoves sit effortlessly alongside beautifully considered living spaces, creating a home full of warmth and character. At its heart is a bespoke farmhouse kitchen with granite worktops, integrated appliances and a central island, flowing naturally into the dining spaces that make everyday family life and entertaining equally enjoyable. A collection of elegant reception rooms offers flexibility in abundance, from cosy evenings by the fire to larger family gatherings, while a versatile snug and adjoining shower room provide the option of a ground-floor bedroom, home office or self-contained guest accommodation.

Upstairs, four generous double bedrooms continue the home's sense of space, all enjoying breath-taking views across the surrounding countryside. The principal suite is a true retreat, complete with its own dressing room, while the spacious landing has been designed as an additional living area, perfect as a reading corner, study or quiet place to take in the views. Every room feels connected to the landscape beyond, creating a home where the countryside is never out of sight.

Outside - Stepping outside, it's immediately apparent that the grounds are every bit as special as the home itself. A sweeping driveway winds through the paddocks before arriving at an extensive parking courtyard and detached stone garage. Beautifully maintained gardens wrap around the farmhouse, while approximately seven acres of gardens and grazing land provide endless opportunities for equestrian pursuits, hobby farming or simply embracing a slower pace of life. A substantial agricultural building and field shelter further enhance the estate's versatility.

Complementing the farmhouse is a beautifully converted stone-built holiday cottage, thoughtfully designed as a stylish countryside retreat. Opening onto its own private decked terrace with spectacular rural views, it presents an established income stream, luxurious guest accommodation or independent living for extended

Dales & Peaks Forwardmove Please Read - Dales & Peaks is marketing this Property with the benefit of ForwardMove. Dales & Peaks has introduced ForwardMove to help speed up the sales process, minimise sale fall-throughs and give more certainty to both the Seller and the Buyer.

Purchasers will benefit from the Buyer Information Pack (BIP), which we have created with our legal partners, to give buyers more information before they agree to purchase.

The pack includes:

Fixtures and contents form (TA10)
Official Copy of the Register (OC1)
Title Plan (OC2)
Local Search*
Water and Drainage Search*
Coal and Mining Search*
Homescreen / Environmental Search*

(Dales & Peaks has ordered the local, drainage, coal and homescreen / environmental searches; we will add these to the BIP as they become available)


ForwardMove allows the sale process to be completed significantly quicker than a ‘normal sale’. This is because the legal work, usually done in the first four to eight weeks after the sale is agreed, has already been completed. The searches, which can take up to five weeks, are ordered on the day the listing goes live and are transferable to the successful Buyer as part of their legal due diligence.

Additionally, and on behalf of the Seller, Dales & Peaks requests that the successful Buyer enters into a Reservation Agreement and pays the Reservation Agreement Fee of £595 (including VAT). This includes payment for the Buyer Information Pack and all the searches (which a buyer typically purchases separately after the sale is agreed).

Upon receipt of the signed Reservation Agreement, payment of the Reservation Agreement Fee, completion of ID and AML checks and the issuing of the Memorandum of Sale, the Seller will agree to take the Property off the market and market it as Sold Subject To Contract (SSTC).

During the Reservation Agreement period, the Seller will reject all offers and not enter into another agreement with any other buyer. The reservation period is agreed upon at the time of sale but is usually between 60 and 120 days.

The Reservation Fee is non-refundable except where the Seller withdraws from the sale. A copy of the Reservation Agreement is available on request, and Dales & Peaks advises potential buyers to seek legal advice before entering into the Reservation Agreement.

If you have any questions about the process or want to know how selling or buying with Dales & Peaks ForwardMove could benefit you, please speak to a member of the Dales & Peaks team.
