Description
BENNET SAMWAYS are delighted to offer for sale this exciting opportunity to acquire a brand new and beautifully designed three-bedroom end barn conversion, situated in a stunning rural setting within the sought-after Derbyshire Dales countryside, close to the desirable village of Snelston.
This boutique Q-class development comprises just three individually designed dwellings, thoughtfully created to combine contemporary living with attractive barn-style architecture. Built to an exceptional specification, each home offers stylish modern interiors whilst maintaining a strong connection to its beautiful rural surroundings.
The striking external elevations are finished with elegant natural timber castle boarding, creating a distinctive contemporary barn aesthetic that blends seamlessly into the surrounding landscape. The ground floor benefits from underfloor heating, whilst radiators serve the first floor, all powered by an energy-efficient air source heat pump, providing economical and environmentally conscious living.
Interior - Step into an impressive open-plan living space, undoubtedly the heart of the home, offering an abundance of natural light and excellent flexibility for modern family living. The spacious layout effortlessly combines the kitchen, dining and sitting areas, while those seeking greater separation have the option to create a dividing wall between the kitchen and sitting room, subject to their own requirements. The beautifully appointed kitchen is fitted with an elegant range of cream Shaker-style cabinets complemented by sleek white quartz worktops. A comprehensive range of integrated appliances includes an induction hob with extractor above, double electric oven, dishwasher and fridge/freezer. The entire open-plan space is finished with stunning porcelain tiled flooring and benefits from underfloor heating, creating a luxurious yet practical living environment. A useful utility room is fitted with matching cabinetry and worktops, providing plumbing for a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer. Completing the ground floor is a guest cloakroom.
An attractive oak staircase rises to the first-floor landing, where there are three well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys a stylish ensuite shower room, whilst the remaining bedrooms are served by a contemporary family bathroom. Each bedroom benefits from both a traditional window and a rooflight, allowing natural light to flood the rooms and creating wonderfully bright and airy accommodation.
Exterior - Unit 1 enjoys a lovely paved side patio area with glass balustrade overlooking a stream, providing excellent outdoor space for families and entertaining.
Gated access leads from the shared sharded tarmac driveway onto a substantial private gravel driveway, providing parking for numerous vehicles. The rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped with a newly laid stone patio, enclosed by attractive dry stone walling, alongside a raised lawn retained by contemporary stone gabion baskets, creating an attractive and low-maintenance outdoor space that perfectly complements the surrounding countryside.
Situated within a highly desirable rural ‘Golden Triangle’ location, the development provides the perfect balance of peaceful country living while remaining well positioned for access to nearby market towns, amenities and transport links.
Locality - Snelston is a picturesque and unspoilt village nestled within the heart of the Derbyshire Dales, just a short drive from the historic market town of Ashbourne. Known for its peaceful rural charm, Snelston is surrounded by rolling countryside, quiet lanes, and beautifully maintained period homes—many originally part of the Snelston Estate, with ties to 19th-century model village design.
This exclusive village setting offers a true escape to the country, while still being conveniently located for access to Ashbourne’s excellent range of independent shops, cafés, and schools. The Peak District National Park lies just to the north, offering a wealth of walking, cycling, and riding opportunities. For those needing to commute, the A515 and A52 provide swift connections to Derby, Uttoxeter, and further afield, while mainline rail services from Derby offer direct links to London and other major cities. Snelston represents the best of Derbyshire Dales living—offering tranquillity, heritage, and access to outstanding countryside, all within easy reach of local amenities and transport links.
