LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT

Georgian farmhouse and holiday cottages set in beautiful location will set hearts fluttering

It’s rare that a property truly takes your breath away, but this stunning Grade II listed detached Georgian farmhouse in a highly desirable village location near Carsington Water ticks every box. That’s if you have £1.6m to spend. But if that’s your kind of budget, this has to be your kind of house. It’s little wonder the agents, Scargill Mann & Co, say viewing is essential for there is just so much to see at Green Farm, in the lovely village of Hognaston, just outside Ashbourne.

The location is idyllic, in a secluded setting surrounded by seven acres of its own agricultural land plus fields and woodland beyond. The honey-coloured stone exterior is chocolate-box pretty and its gardens a delight.

Inside you’ll find a wealth of charm and character but there are many other factors which set this home apart.

For a start, as part of the sale, there is a thriving holiday let business with a range of accommodation for guests in two separate cottages – one which has three/four bedrooms and the other a charming one-bedroom holiday home.

And then there’s the gymnasium which you’ll find in one of the property’s many outbuildings. Want to know more? Then let’s go on a tour. The main home and holiday cottages have been superbly improved and maintained to a high standard by the current owners.

The former stable block offers sumptious holiday let accommodation, including a lounge, ground floor bedroom, well-appointed farmhouse-style breakfast kitchen and utility room, with the en-suite master bedroom, two more bedrooms and a four-piece bathroom on the first floor.

Meanwhile, attached to the property, is a most delightful, one-double bedroom cottage with superb lounge boasting magnificent brick feature fireplace, well-appointed fitted pine kitchen, double bedroom and an en-suite shower room.

Holiday let guests will be able to enjoy fabulous country walks without having to use their cars, quick access to the Peak District plus it’s only a very short walk to the village’s popular and cosy 17th century pub, the Red Lion, with its varied menu and great range of ales.

The farmhouse itself provides delightful accommodation with an entrance porch leading to a formal drawing room with stunning feature fireplace, recently-added garden room with stone flagged floors, ideal for dining, superb farmhouse-style breakfast kitchen with the all-important Aga stove, hand-crafted units, rear hallway with decorative panelling and access to a utility/ cloakroom.

The principal bedroom, on the first floor, enjoys a heaviliy beamed ceiling and is en-suite to the main bathroom which has a delightful four-piece suite.

On this floor there is also a good-sized second bedroom with stone feature fireplace while there are two more bedrooms and an en-suite shower room on the second floor.

There are delightful gardens surrounding the property with an abundance of patios, formal lawns, specimen plants, flowerbeds and borders, plus approximately seven acres of land and a variety of useful workshop areas, open barn pen barns, a Dutch hay barn as well as the aforementioned refurbished gym. There’s also plenty of car standing space.
