Description

This property, originally two stone-built cottages, has been thoughtfully adapted into a three-bedroom residence, maintaining its charming country appeal. A significant highlight of this property is the extensive range of outbuildings, which provide valuable space that can accommodate various equestrian activities or serve other potential uses. The layout includes three individual stable and storage buildings situated adjacent to a spacious yard directly connected to the house. Additionally, there’s a schooling area that complements the equestrian facilities. This versatile outdoor space presents opportunities for those interested in livestock or hobby vehicles. With the right planning permissions, the land may also offer avenues for development, making it an attractive investment prospect. Nestled at the end of Watercress Lane—an established residential cul-de-sac—this property benefits from its privacy while still being conveniently located. Local road links grant easy access to amenities in nearby Danesmoor and Clay Cross, as well as larger towns like Alfreton, Chesterfield, and Mansfield. Internally, accommodation begins with a welcoming kitchen and dining area featuring a beamed ceiling and solid fuel stove. This space overlooks the front yard and is equipped with fitted cupboards and room for essential appliances. A traditional pantry off the kitchen adds practical storage. The sitting room extends across the length of the home with windows at both ends, allowing natural light to fill the space. Its focal point is a stone fireplace set against a brick chimney breast. Ascend from this room via a staircase leading to the first floor where three well-sized double bedrooms await—all equipped with built-in wardrobes. The bathroom provides adequate proportions with modern fittings including both a panelled bath and separate shower cubicle. Outside, parking is accommodated informally along Watercress Lane through a broad forecourt yard flanked by various outbuildings. These include a workshop with storage options and several stables of varying sizes suitable for multiple purposes. The menage adjacent to these facilities features an enclosed sand and soil surface for equestrian use. In addition to these features, there are wooden outbuildings that currently serve as an aviary but could easily be repurposed to meet new needs. The overall layout offers considerable versatility for different hobbies or projects. This property holds promise not just as a comfortable family home but also as an investment opportunity nestled within an appealing countryside setting while maintaining close proximity to urban conveniences.
