<strong></strong> <strong></strong> Approached by a sweeping private driveway the property combines the charm of a character barn with practical modern living, featuring a triple garage, five stables, open barns, horse walker, ménage and field barn offering exciting renovation potential, all surrounded by beautiful Derbyshire and Leicestershire countryside, yet only 2 miles or so from the market town of Ashby-de-la-Zouch. The property has been in the same family for around 50 years and the barn converted circa 1994.<br/><br/>Approached along a sweeping gravel driveway that meanders between fields, the sense of arrival is nothing short of exceptional. Set well back from the road and hidden from view, the barn enjoys complete privacy and an idyllic semi-rural setting. Passing through a traditional five-bar gate, the driveway leads beyond the beautifully landscaped front gardens, where a natural wildlife pond creates a tranquil focal point, before electric wrought iron gates reveal a secure courtyard and the impressive range of outbuildings beyond.<br/><br/>The courtyard provides extensive parking for large horseboxes and trailers together with a substantial triple garage incorporating three up-and-over doors, one being electric, light, power and a generous loft storage room above (possibility of conversion, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions).<br/><br/>For those seeking the country lifestyle, the equestrian facilities offer a well-planned stable yard comprising five stables, tack room, three open barns and extensive hardstanding, all served by water and power. Beyond are a horse walker, ménage and two level paddocks extending to around 4.7 acres, allowing horses to be exercised and grazed without ever leaving the property.<br/><br/>Adding yet more potential is a detached traditional brick and pitch tiled roof field building set within the fields. Whether restored as a studio, workshop, home office, further field storage (subject to the necessary planning permissions), it presents an exciting opportunity to create something truly special.<br/><br/>Like many traditional farmhouses and barns, everyday life naturally begins at the rear entrance, where muddy boots and country walks are catered for by a practical boot room and guest cloakroom before stepping into the welcoming reception hall.<br/><br/>The heart of this wonderful home is undoubtedly the open-plan farmhouse kitchen and family living space. Designed for gathering with family and friends, it is a room where conversations continue long after dinner has finished and where everyday life unfolds against a backdrop of glorious countryside views. Timber cabinets wrap around the kitchen, complemented by contrasting worktops, an inset sink beneath a picture window overlooking the gardens and paddocks, ceramic tiled splashbacks and integrated appliances including a gas hob, extractor, oven and dishwasher. The kitchen flows effortlessly into a relaxed breakfast and sitting area where glazed doors invite the outside in, opening directly onto the sun terrace - the perfect setting for morning coffee as the horses graze beyond or summer evenings entertaining beneath open skies.<br/><br/>The adjoining sitting room is warm, welcoming, and full of character. An exposed brick fireplace with raised tiled hearth forms a striking focal point, while a large picture window perfectly frames the gardens and natural pond. French doors lead into the conservatory, offering another peaceful place to unwind.<br/><br/>A separate inner hallway leads to the bedroom accommodation, creating a peaceful retreat away from the main living areas. The ground floor provides two generous double bedrooms, both enjoying delightful outlooks across the gardens and paddocks. The principal suite benefits from an en-suite shower room finished with full-height tiling, a frameless walk-in shower, extensive fitted vanity storage, concealed cistern WC and wash hand basin.<br/><br/>Bedroom two is equally well proportioned and fitted with an excellent range of bespoke wardrobes, dressing table and over-bed storage. Across the hall is a separate shower room with wash hand basin, WC and fully tiled shower cubicle.<br/><br/>The first floor offers surprisingly versatile accommodation. Bedroom three features bespoke eaves storage, dual aspect roof lights and a connecting room that could equally serve as a fourth bedroom, children's den, dressing room, home office or private sitting room, also with potential for easy conversion of the large attic room into an additional bedroom/study making it ideal for growing families or multi-generational living.<br/><br/>Completing the first floor is the family bathroom together with two substantial attic storage rooms, offering excellent practical storage and exciting potential for future enhancement, subject to the necessary consents.<br/><br/>What3words: /// <a target="_blank" href="https://what3words.com/input.jolly.panels">input.jolly.panels</a><br/>Agents notes: The vendor will retain ownership of the lower field, which will be fenced off, and the Title Plan will be amended accordingly.
