This remarkable Grade II Listed detached farmhouse, accompanied by a one-bedroom cottage, sits on an expansive 4.02-acre plot boasting picturesque views over the Derbyshire countryside. Located in the tranquil Snelston Common, this property offers easy access to Ashbourne and connects seamlessly to the A50 for commuting to major motorways like the M1 and M6. The farmhouse, rich in character, features substantial grounds with beautifully landscaped gardens, a private gated entrance, and multiple storage structures including a double garage that holds potential for further development or conversion into additional living space.
The interior of the main farmhouse spans approximately 2,750 sq.ft., showcasing original design elements alongside modern comforts. While there are tasteful decor aspects present, there remain opportunities for enhancements—particularly in areas such as the kitchen which is well-equipped but could benefit from more contemporary styling. The living spaces include a charming dining room with a brick fireplace and an inviting drawing room ideal for gatherings.
Upstairs you will find spacious sleeping quarters; however, some rooms may find updates beneficial. The attached Barleycote Cottage offers flexible options as either guest accommodation or an income-generating Airbnb unit—though it does require bathroom modernization to meet current rental standards.
Outside, ample land enhances this property’s potential significantly. With large paddocks and serene gardens that house productive vegetable patches and a greenhouse, there's room for personal touches or landscaping projects that could elevate its appeal further. This estate not only provides ample living space but also embodies the chance for lifestyle enhancement through renovation and rehabilitation efforts.
Investors should consider the versatility of both dwellings along with their surrounding land as an opportunity to create additional value through sympathetic renovations while maintaining historic integrity.
