Barrell Farm

A rare opportunity to acquire a traditional stone built detached farmhouse with land and gardens extending to approximately 12 and a half acres, enjoying far reaching views across the surrounding open countryside towards Wirksworth town centre. The property has been in the ownership of the same family since the 1950's and is being offered with no upward chain.



The property offers immaculately presented, substantial and flexible accommodation arranged over two floors comprising entrance hallway, two reception rooms, comprehensively fitted dining kitchen, porch, utility room and cloakroom to the ground floor. On the first floor there are four bedrooms along with family bathroom and separate w.c.



The property is approached over a private gated driveway which leads into the yard providing access to the adjoining garage and outbuildings which consist of a two storey stone barn/workshop and a single storey stone barn, block and corrugated sheet store and former piggery, open fronted implement shed and lean-to steel framed building. The formal gardens are primarily to the front and side of the property which adjoin one of the fields that are included in the sale. There is gated access from the yard to the land extending to approximately 12 acres.



Improvements have been made to the property over the years yet it still offers opportunity for enhancement and alteration as well as considerable potential to extend into the garage and room above from the main house if required. Additionally, the two storey stone barn/workshop also lends itself to conversion, all subject, of course, to obtaining any necessary planning consents.



Occupying a peaceful location within this sought after hamlet location yet walkable to the popular and historic market town of Wirksworth, the property takes full advantage of its rural setting taking in the most delightful countryside views from most elevations.
