When You See It, You’Ll Know This Is Your Dream Family Home.
This unique, five bedroom detached property, originally dating back to 1871, has been the subject of a complete renovation project, which includes a large extension - culminating in the most beautiful blend of traditional features and modern design.
If you’re looking for an idyllic, off-the-beaten-track location, it’s down a quiet single track lane, in the heart of the “Golden Triangle” between Derby, Ashbourne and Uttoxeter.
That gives you the best of both worlds.
It’s a peaceful place to relax and enjoy family life (with gorgeous views!) without being isolated, being part of a select micro-community. You can drive to the centre of Derby in less than 20 minutes or walk to the local village pub in the heart of Dalbury Lees in 15 minutes.
The current owners purchased The Farmhouse in 2021 and have wasted no time in undertaking spectacular renovations. Their impressive alterations include the addition of a substantial rear extension and creating a brand new self-contained Annexe.
The ground floor is a versatile space, with plenty of room for the family to get together or entertain, boasting 4 reception rooms.
The superb solid wooden Kitchen, with its range of integrated Neff appliances, is still the heart of this family home. It has gorgeous fitted units with stunning Quartz worktops and a matching island unit, with plenty of space for everyone to get together.
The kitchen space is open plan to the living/dining area, with a large roof lantern which floods the room with light. It’s a lovely place to relax after a meal and enjoy views of the large gardens through the full width, bi-fold doors.
There’s a Lounge with a beautiful traditional burner and exposed beams along with a separate Office - great if you work from home or just need somewhere quiet to make a call.
The new extension at the rear has created a handy Utility Room with W/C, another Sitting Room looking out to the gardens and a large Games Room with plenty of space for a Pool Table.
A large terrace wraps around three sides of the property, connecting the main social spaces.
The southwest facing garden, measuring circa 2 acres, is home to a selection of fruit and mature trees, offering complete privacy.
There’s an abundance of parking on the new gravel drive along with a separate Oak framed Garage & Carport, which has a power supply and two ev charging ports.
The first floor has two king size bedrooms (one with an ensuite shower room), an impressive Master Suite and a luxuriously equiped four piece family Bathroom, with smart underfloor heating, Lusso Stone Vanity and Cabinet, as well as a Crosswater Bath, taps and shower.
The huge vaulted ceiling Master Suite is superb. It has a large Dressing Room and a sumptuous Ensuite (with smart underfloor heating and Lusso Stone / Crosswater fittings), but the best feature must be the Balcony where you can sit with a morning coffee and take in the panoramic views.
The top floor has another two king size Bedrooms and a further four piece Bathroom with smart underfloor heating, again with a Lusso Stone Vanity, a Crosswater Bath and fittings.
The addition of a self-contained Annexe could be crucial if you have a teenager or an older relative living with you who seeks a little independence.
It’s a versatile space that’s currently being used as an Office (with a Cat6 network to the main House) and Gym. The more traditional layout would see it easily reverting back to a Bedroom, Kitchen/Diner, Lounge and Bathroom.
If you don’t have any relatives or older children who could use the space, it could also offer you a lucrative on-site Airbnb income. With a separate drive to the Annexe, guests could come and go as they pleased, without ever coming into contact with you in the main House.
The local school, Long Lane CofE Primary School, is rated “Good” by Ofsted and is less than a 5 minute drive away. The property is also within catchment for the highly regarded Ecclesbourne School.
If you’re heading further afield it’s only 20 minutes to Derby, 30 minutes to the M1 and less than 40 minutes to East Midlands Airport.
No stone has been left unturned with the renovation of The Farmhouse with the following included in the scheme of works:
A brand new slate roof.
Complete re-wiring with a new phase 3 supply.
Completely re-plumbed with all new radiators.
Nest wired door bell & Nest CO2 alarms throughout.
Completely re-plastered throughout.
All new carpentry (including skirting boards, architraves, doors and staircase).
New treatment plant.
Underground lpg tank with remote monitoring for re-fill.
The main house has a Worcester Bosch boiler with a Worcester unvented hot water cylinder. This is a pressurised, zoned system controlled by smart Nest thermostats.
The Annexe has a Worcester Bosch combination boiler, also controlled by smart Nest thermostats.
Full landscaping, including 2 patios, extensive planting and a came electric gated entrance.
