Overview
A superb, Grade II Listed, former farmhouse of mellow brick and stone construction which is understood to date from the 17th century with later mid 19th century additions.
Description
The stunning accommodation which retains a wealth of original features provides a high degree of adaptability and flexibility which is ideally suited to occupation by the growing family. The property is believed to be the original farmhouse associated with the nearby Brailsford Mill and mentioned in the Domesday Book. It is delightfully situated amidst rural surroundings on the edge of the popular and sought after village of Brailsford and conveniently placed for ready access to both the City of Derby and Ashbourne.
Being gas centrally heated throughout the house benefits from a very high calibre of fittings and appointments and extremely successfully combines the requirements of modern day living with the charm and character of the original building.
Only by internal inspection can this special property be fully appreciated.
