Extensive Range of Outbuildings
A three-storey former farmhouse, which we suspect was constructed in the early-19th century, with part timber-and-render finish. The main residence offers extremely spacious family accommodation of circa. 3,000 sq. ft., comprising; entrance hall, walk-in cloaks, four reception rooms, inner hall, rear hall, shower room and WC, farmhouse-style dining kitchen, utility room, landing, four double bedrooms, bathroom, landing, four large loft rooms, gardens, adjoining paddock, and extensive range of single-storey and two-storey outbuildings.
The property affords excellent potential for conversion of the loft rooms into bedroom and bathroom accommodation, and the range of outbuildings into residential accommodation, all subject to requirements, and obtaining the usual planning and building regulation approvals.
A RARE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE DISCERNING PURCHASER TO ACQUIRE A PERIOD, DETACHED FORMER FARMHOUSE, OF UNDOUBTED CHARM AND CHARACTER, IN A DELIGHTFUL RURAL CANALSIDE SETTING.
The property enjoys a secluded setting, approached from the villages of Weston-on-Trent or Aston-on-Trent, via long tracks. Both villages are considered desirable residential locations, with a range of amenities to include; primary school, village store and post office, churches, public houses, and restaurants, together with delightful canalside walks. Weston-on-Trent and Aston-on-Trent are within easy driving distance of the A50, which in turn affords links to the east and west of the region, the M1 & M6 motorways, and Derby city centre.
Access to the property can be from Weston Road, Weston-on-Trent, and from Aston-on-Trent, via tracks. For ease of finding the property, we would recommend accessing the property from Aston-on-Trent.
When leaving Derby city centre by vehicle, proceed east along the A52 towards Nottingham, and after approximately 1.5-miles take the exit for the A5111 to the ring road onto Raynesway. Continue onto the A6, Alvaston bypass, and at the traffic island take the exit left signposted for Shardlow before turning right for Aston-on-Trent. On entering the centre of Aston-on-Trent, continue through the village centre before bearing left into Shardlow Road. Opposite the cricket pitch and recreation ground, turn right into the track via a single-bar metal gate, following the road for approximately 0.75-miles before finding Weston Grange.
