Description

Nestled within this exclusive development of just five properties is The Coach House, an exquisite three bedroom barn conversion showcasing a wealth of character, generously proportioned interiors and a secluded 1.25 acre plot including landscaped south facing gardens and a paddock. Enjoying a private setting bordered by rolling countryside and picturesque mill waters, this individual former coach house has been finished to an exceptional standard both inside and out, featuring beautifully appointed living accommodation, three double en suite bedrooms and a luxurious outside living space, all within a wonderfully private gated plot.

The Coach House benefits from no upward chain and offers immaculate interiors highlighting the original character of this exceptional link-detached barn, alongside traditionally styled finishes including a bespoke kitchen with total-control Aga, modern bathroom suites and an impressive oak framed garden room. In addition to the main property there is further opportunity for development, with a double garage offering annexe potential and a fabulous 1 acre paddock presenting an ideal base for a home-run business, as an Air BnB style rental or to provide rental income (subject to relevant permissions).

The Coach House is set part way between the popular villages of Draycott in the Clay and Sudbury in the exclusive de-velopment of Draycott Mill. This secluded private courtyard is formed by individual barn conversions and character homes nestled within pretty Derbyshire countryside and picturesque mill waters.

Nearby Draycott offers amenities including a post office, pubs and a village hall, with Sudbury being home to a boutique shopping village and the National Trust owned Sudbury Hall Estate. More comprehensive amenities can be found in the historic market town of Uttoxeter, where there are an array of shops, supermarkets, restaurants, a train station and the renowned Uttoxeter Racecourse.

The property lies within catchment for the Sudbury Primary School and there are a choice of middle and high schools including Windsor Park Middle, Thomas Alleynes High and Queen Elizabeths High in Ashbourne. Excellent inde-pendent schools are also easily accessible, including Denstone College and Repton.

For leisure pursuits, Draycott in the Clay lies on the Staffordshire/ Derbyshire border, having the Peak District National Park and the Staffordshire Moorlands both within an easy drive. Nearby equestrian centres include Eland Lodge and Marchington Field, and there are a number of local health clubs, gyms and golf clubs including Hoar Cross, St Georges Park and Uttoxeter Golf Club.

The Coach House lies within an ideal location for commuter routes including the A50, A38 and M6 Toll. The Interna-tional airports of East Midlands and Manchester are also within a convenient drive.
