5 bed detached house for sale

Kirk Langley, Ashbourne DE6

Greenacres is a beautifully remodelled and extended contemporary country property, set within approximately 3.28 acres and enjoying spectacular views across the Derbyshire countryside.

Extensively remodelled and extended to an architect designed scheme completed in 2020, the property has been transformed to create a beautifully balanced family home where contemporary design and generous proportions are complemented by an extraordinary rural outlook. Expansive glazing and carefully positioned windows feature throughout the accommodation, allowing the views and changing seasons to become part of everyday life.

The sense of arrival is immediately impressive. A magnificent double height reception hallway establishes the architectural character of Greenacres, with a bespoke oak staircase rising to a striking galleried landing and a substantial picture window drawing natural light into the heart of the property.

Generous and versatile living spaces have been thoughtfully arranged for modern family life, centred around a superb open plan kitchen, dining and living space designed equally for relaxed everyday living and entertaining.

Five bedrooms include an impressive principal suite, while separately accessed guest accommodation and extensive garaging present exciting scope for the creation of dedicated ancillary or multi generational accommodation, subject to any necessary consents.

Integrated speakers within the kitchen, living room and principal bedroom add a further considered detail to the contemporary specification.

Outside, large lawned gardens complement a beautifully maintained 2.61 acre paddock, with the land offering particular appeal for those with equestrian interests. A substantial detached outbuilding adds further versatility, all set against the backdrop of the surrounding Derbyshire countryside.

Greenacres combines contemporary architecture, adaptable accommodation and the privacy and freedom of approximately 3.28 acres to create an outstanding family home offering a lifestyle that is becoming increasingly difficult to find.

Ground Floor:

The front entrance opens into a magnificent double height reception hallway that immediately establishes the scale and contemporary architectural character of the property.

A bespoke oak staircase rises to the striking galleried first floor landing, while a substantial picture window frames the rural outlook and draws an abundance of natural light into the heart of Greenacres.

The hallway provides access to the principal reception spaces, including a beautifully proportioned living room positioned to take full advantage of the property's remarkable position. Expansive glazing captures almost 180 degree views across the Derbyshire countryside, creating a peaceful space for everyday living, entertaining and simply enjoying the changing seasons.

A separate family room provides valuable versatility and is equally suited as a more informal sitting room, formal dining room, children's playroom or home office, allowing the accommodation to adapt naturally as family requirements evolve.

At the heart of Greenacres is the superb open plan kitchen, dining and living space, beautifully designed around modern family life and entertaining. The contemporary kitchen features an extensive range of fitted cabinetry and a substantial central island incorporating an induction hob with a striking suspended feature extractor above.

An extensive range of integrated appliances includes a double oven, microwave, dishwasher, fridge and freezer, creating a kitchen that is as practical as it is visually impressive. Underfloor heating extends through the kitchen, dining area and utility, while generous dining and living areas provide clearly defined spaces yet remain wonderfully connected, with extensive glazing opening the interiors visually towards the gardens and countryside beyond.

The scale and layout of this space allow it to function effortlessly throughout the day, from relaxed family breakfasts and everyday living to larger gatherings and entertaining, creating a genuine social heart to the property.

A practical utility room complements the kitchen and provides direct access to the garden, together with an integral door leading into the extensive garaging. A ground floor WC is also positioned within this part of the accommodation, while a separate staircase rises from the utility area to the private guest accommodation above.

First Floor:

The bespoke oak staircase rises to the impressive galleried first floor landing, where the scale of the double height reception hallway can be fully appreciated. The substantial picture window continues to frame the countryside beyond, reinforcing the wonderful sense of light that characterises much of Greenacres.

The principal bedroom is an impressive and beautifully proportioned suite, enhanced by a vaulted ceiling and large picture window capturing wonderful countryside views. A separate walk in dressing room provides excellent storage and complements the en-suite bathroom, creating a private and particularly appealing principal bedroom arrangement.

The second bedroom is equally distinctive, enjoying a wonderful triple aspect with extensive rural views and a beautifully integrated en-suite bathroom forming part of the room's contemporary design.

Two further bedrooms provide generous family accommodation and are served by the family bathroom, completing a well balanced first floor layout equally suited to growing families and visiting guests.

Guest Accommodation:

One of the particular strengths of Greenacres is the versatility created by its separately accessed guest accommodation. A private staircase rises from the utility area to a guest bedroom and shower room, providing an excellent arrangement for visiting family or guests and a natural degree of separation from the principal bedroom accommodation.

The guest bedroom is filled with natural light from two Velux roof windows, while French doors open to a side Juliet balcony and enjoy expansive views across the surrounding countryside.

Its position alongside the extensive garaging creates an exciting opportunity to further develop this part of the property. Subject to any necessary consents, conversion and reconfiguration of the adjoining garage could create dedicated ancillary or multi generational accommodation, allowing Greenacres to evolve with the changing requirements of its future owners.

Outside, Gardens & Land:

Greenacres occupies an impressive plot extending to approximately 3.28 acres, creating a wonderful sense of space and privacy within the surrounding Derbyshire countryside.

The property is approached through electric gates onto a generous driveway, providing extensive parking and access to the substantial garaging. Large lawned gardens surround and complement the property, creating excellent space for family life, outdoor entertaining and enjoying the open rural outlook.

Beyond the gardens is a beautifully maintained paddock extending to approximately 2.61 acres. The land could particularly appeal to those with equestrian interests, while equally providing exceptional recreational space and the freedom associated with owning land in such an attractive setting.

Extensive garaging forms an integral part of Greenacres and provides excellent parking, storage and practical space, with electric roller doors. Its direct connection with the utility room and proximity to the separately accessed guest bedroom also create exciting scope for future reconfiguration to provide dedicated ancillary or multi generational accommodation, subject to any necessary consents.

Positioned within the grounds is a substantial detached outbuilding, fitted with two electric roller doors, adding another dimension to the versatility of Greenacres. The building could be utilised as stabling, a home gym, office or workshop, with further scope for alternative or ancillary use, subject to any necessary planning permissions.
