Beautifully situated on the edge of the Peak District, Lower Barberfields Farm is an outstanding home that perfectly blends country charm and family living. This four bedroomed detached residence stands on a 1.5-acre plot and boasts delightful far-reaching views and equestrian facilities.
Thoughtfully arranged over three floors, this magnificent home effortlessly combines generously proportioned accommodation with timeless style to create a property that is a pleasure to reside in. Three spacious reception rooms incorporate focal-point sandstone and cast iron fireplaces, whilst the kitchen is an architecturally designed space that is filled with natural light and showcases a large apex panel framing the views, a bespoke fitted kitchen by Chalon with an island and a five-oven Aga.
Positioned on the first floor is a gorgeous master bedroom that is exceptionally spacious and connects to a superb dressing room that is appointed with a range of fitted furniture. A further two double bedrooms provide plenty of space for a growing family, plus a well-appointed family bathroom with a roll top bath.
The second floor lends itself well to being a teenager or guest suite and houses a good-sized bedroom with an adjacent versatile sitting room and a bathroom across the landing. Throughout the second floor are various access points to useful eaves storage.
Lower Barberfields Farm is complemented by extensive outdoor space, including mature gardens and a veranda at the front of the property, both of which benefit from a south-west facing orientation. Set within the gardens is a quirky studio that is housed in a wooden Shepherd Hut, plus a separate garden room that is ideal for relaxing or hobbies. To the rear is a low-maintenance gravelled courtyard that links to the kitchen via double doors, allowing opportunities for outdoor dining and entertaining.
The property offers equestrian facilities, which include two enclosed paddocks and a stable block with two stables. The location of Lower Barberfields Farm is perfect for local hacks through woodland or travel a little further afield. Ample parking is provided by a substantial block paved driveway and courtyard, and there is a useful detached outbuilding with three rooms currently used for storage, which could be used as part of the equestrian facilities.
