Exterior and Gardens
Peacefully located on the edge of the Peak District National Park, Gooseberry Farm offers excellent versatility throughout its indoor and outdoor spaces, making it ideal for a variety of purchasers. Forming part of the equestrian amenities, the indoor schooling arena holds Class Q planning permission (23/01021/CUPDMB) for conversion into a superb detached four en-suite bedroomed dwelling and therefore allows exciting potential for further development. There is also planning approved (25/00252/FLHPD) for a rear extension to the main house, re-locating the kitchen and increasing the size of the reception rooms.
The attractive 19th century farmhouse has the benefit of a charming dining kitchen featuring a two-oven Aga and four well-proportioned reception rooms that are perfect for relaxing in the comfort of your own home. The layout of Gooseberry Farm has been cleverly configured to take full advantage of the breathtaking vistas, providing an ever-changing outlook throughout the seasons. Each of the property’s five bedrooms are beautifully appointed and comprise two luxurious bedroom suites and an office that allows flexibility of use as a bedroom or working space.
Within the expansive grounds is a detached, two bedroomed barn that is set across one level. Having been renovated some years ago by the current owner, Gooseberry Barn is a wonderful retreat that showcases a wealth of character, which has been considerately blended with modern technologies, such as under floor heating throughout and a well-equipped breakfast kitchen.
Gooseberry Farm is accessed by two separate gated entrances; to the main house and equine buildings/land. There are substantial pebbled/gravelled and hardstanding areas that are suitable for parking multiple vehicles, plus a stone flagged driveway to the front of the farmhouse with access to a garage. The equestrian facilities incorporate a four-stable block with a tack room, six paddocks (one with a field shelter) and an indoor schooling arena with a horse walker to the rear. In addition, there is an outdoor manège, however it does require re-surfacing but could be a great project to anyone interested in equine pursuits.
Available by separate negotiation is a further 15 (approx) acres, which have gated access to Main Road and Fanshaw Gate Lane. Further information can be provided at request.
This rural residence is situated with good access to the village of Holmesfield and access to scenic countryside walks from the doorstep.
