Description
The property requires modernisation but presents much potential, situated in the stunning Derbyshire countryside, nearby to the Peak District National Park.
The property is offered as a whole or potentially available in three lots by negotiation.
Location - Woodhead Farm is situated in a delightful rural position, near to the popular village of Kniveton, just outside the Peak District National Park. Kniveton and the surrounding villages provide a range of basic amenities including primary schools, churches and public houses within a short distance. The market town of Ashbourne has an extensive range of facilities including high street shops, doctor’s surgery, public houses, primary and secondary schools, supermarkets and fuel stations. There are many nearby local walks, bridleways, trails and beauty spots in surrounding countryside excellent for those who enjoy the outdoors and with equestrian interests. The property benefits from undisturbed far reaching views over the countryside; however, it also benefits from good access onto the A517 providing quick access to the market towns of Ashbourne (3.5 miles) and Belper (10.5 miles). The cities of Derby and Nottingham are within commuter distance.
Description: - Woodhead Farm offers a traditional stone built farmhouse, which would benefit from modernisation, together with an attached two bedroom annex, recently converted. Externally, the property offers a wide range of outbuildings and stables, a combination of both semi-modern and traditional in construction and flexible in their uses, suitable for equestrian and agricultural purposes with the potential for conversion (subject to all the necessary planning consents).
The land at the property surrounds the farmstead and extends to a total of 76.33 acres (30.89 hectares), suitable for both mowing and grazing.
The property is offered as a whole, but potentially available in three lots.
Directions - From Ashbourne town centre, head south along Park Road past the fire station to the traffic lights. Turn left onto the A517 Belper Road and continue out of the town. Follow the road for approx. 2 miles and then turn left at the crossroads in the drip onto Corley Lane signposted for Offcote/Kniveton. Follow the lane down the hill and round a sharp left hand turning, then take a right hand turning onto Agnes Meadow Lane. Follow the lane up the hill, past various properties, then continue past a property called West View, follow the lane straight on and the gate is immediately behind an Elizabethan farm house on the left (also known as Woodhead Farm) and indicated by a for sale board.
