Owner's perspective - We instantly fell in love with Grove Farm as we came up the lane away from the road past the wood and through a peaceful field.
Grove Farm is a home to rest, relax or keep busy as you wish. The 360 degree views and tranquil position are balm to any frayed nerves of all ages in wildflower meadows, ideal for butterflies and bees. It is private, rural, yet not remote, providing easy access to the amenities of Duffield, Ashbourne and Wirksworth. All these assets will apply to the large barn with planning consent. An exciting opportunity for a 'Grand Design'. We have been told many times that it's amazing that we found a home in a setting as lovely as this, and that is why we have stayed for so long.
