Birchfield, The Dukes Drive, Ashford-In-The-Water, Bakewell, Derbyshire DE45

Offered in partnership with Saxton Mee - Bakewell

This property has been postponed from the auction on 30 July 2026, but remains available. We expect the property to be re-entered into a future auction soon. Please contact the auctioneers for further information.

Set on the edge of Bakewell, this five bedroomed dormer bungalow occupies an impressive plot of approximately two acres, surrounded by mature woodland that creates a sense of privacy and space while remaining within easy reach of the town’s excellent amenities, leisure facilities and highly regarded school catchment.

Approached via a long driveway with off-road parking, a garage and a useful range of outbuildings offering flexibility for storage, workshops or future development. The grounds themselves are a defining feature, presenting an exceptional opportunity for landscaping, extension or even reconfiguration to suit individual requirements, subject to the necessary consents.

The accommodation is predominantly arranged over a single storey, making it highly practical while still offering scope to adapt and enhance. An entrance lobby opens into a central hallway that leads through to a bright triple-aspect sitting room, a separate dining room connects to a fitted kitchen and adjoining utility room, providing a functional layout that could be modernised or opened up to create a more contemporary living space.

The ground floor continues with two double bedrooms featuring built-in storage, alongside a shower room and separate wc. A further bedroom includes a wash hand basin, while an additional bedroom benefits from its own sitting area and separate wc, lending itself to guest accommodation or potential annexe-style use.

Upstairs, the first floor comprises a bedroom with eaves storage, along with loft space that offers clear potential for enlargement or further development, allowing a buyer to tailor the property to their own specifications and lifestyle needs.

Offered with no upward chain and to be sold at auction, this is a property defined as much by its setting and possibilities as by its current layout, a substantial home in a sought-after location, ready to be re-imagined and enhanced to realise its full potential.
