Description

An attractive semi detached barn conversion offering a wealth of original charm and character providing flexible two/three bedroomed accommodation. Formally a farm building understood to date back to the 1850's and converted to a residential dwelling in the 1980's.

The accommodation briefly comprises entrance porch opening into a characterful 'L' shaped sitting/dining room with stone feature fireplace and an archway leading to the fitted kitchen. There is an inner hall with doors leading to two double bedrooms and a bathroom. A further door leads to bedroom three/storage room which has a staircase leading up to an attic room. There are two partially converted attic rooms with Velux windows and exposed roof trusses, currently used as sewing/hobby rooms along with a further attic storage room and door to a galleried area overlooking the sitting room. The attic rooms offer enormous potential for conversion to provide addition accommodation, subject to the necessary planning permissions/building regulations.

Externally there are pleasant cottage style gardens with decked seating area and storage below, sufficient hardstanding for three cars along with a timber shed.

Situated within the highly popular village of Kniveton located on the edge of the Peak District National Park, within a few minutes drive of Carsington Reservoir, Ashbourne town centre and Dovedale. The village also has a primary school, local public house and access via footpaths from the doorstep to the surrounding open countryside.
