When current owners Brian and Jane bought the property 15 years ago it was derelict, however they could see the potential to create an amazing home; “the large amount of space, fantastic location and views were a winning combination and the idea of a conversion project was very exciting to us”, says Jane. The property has undeniably been developed into an outstanding home offering spacious and practical living with an air of luxury including extensive gardens, outbuildings, stables and a full-size ménage.

The area is sought after by commuters and families with well- reputed schools within easy reach as well as the A50, which links to the M1 and M6 only four miles away. Airport can be reached in 30-minutes. “The area has many attractions; the Peak District, fine country houses like Chatsworth and Haddon Hall, Alton Towers and the FA’s St Georges Park, which is only 20-minutes away. For socialising and eating out, The Yeavley Arms, which hosts live music most Saturdays, and The Lighthouse Restaurant in Boylestone come highly recommended”, says Jane.

“The gazebo allows us to enjoy the garden all year round which is fantastic, and the international sized ménage with mirrors for exercising dressage horses has been much enjoyed. We love the beautiful views of the Weaver Hills which can be seen from the windows of the landing/library area”. *

Hungry Bentley Barn Pages.indd 13 13/08/2018 09:06 There is so much we will miss; the beautiful surroundings, watching the sun set from the terrace or gazebo, sitting under our favourite tree, alfresco dining and the closeness of the horses and car workshop facilities. We are moving to downsize as there are now only two of us and fewer cars and horses”.

Hungry Bentley Barn Pages.indd 14 13/08/2018 09:06 For our joint 50th birthday party we had a marquee on the lawn; we invited 100 people to celebrate our combined 100 years. The property lends itself well to entertaining with ample parking for large groups”.
