The property can be entered in a variety of ways, the far conservatory to the left (as you look from the front) is the larger of the two and is an incredible open space that has multiple end uses. This gives access to the well-appointed farmhouse style kitchen, with ample light and high specification work tops and appliances. A useful snug room off the kitchen is an ideal reception room as an alternative to the main rooms.

A corridor leads to the further reception rooms, which houses the utility room and downstairs WC. The central reception lounge offers an open fire and windows to both sides providing ample natural light. This room then leads up to a dining reception area with a study room. The further newer extension feeds off this dining area and into another conservatory with ample seating areas. This gives one of two access points into the new extended lounge area which is light and modern, with another open fireplace with log burning stove.

Lower Ground Floor Good sized cellar room with two windows, lights and power and a storage room. This gives internal access to the undeveloped cow sheds and the external side courtyard.

SELLER INSIGHT

We were moving back to the UK from Holland and it was the location that first attracted us. The hilly landscape, space and surrounding land combines perfectly with the peace and quiet which was exactly what we were looking for,” recall the owners.

“We’ve lived here since 1997 and have made a number of improvements to the property, including the addition of two conservatories, master bedroom and kitchen area, along with a utility room and downstairs cloakroom. We refurbished the summer room and snug, as well as adding new windows and fireplaces. The aim was to modernise throughout and we’re pleased with how it’s turned out.”

“The location is fabulous. We enjoy walking in our field with our dog or we can head out to the nearby woods for a stroll around the lake. Carsington Water is a little further afield offering nice walks and sailing opportunities, as well as various wildlife to look out for and a Visitor Centre. There are a good choice of pubs and restaurants in the surrounding towns and villages or it’s an easy drive to Matlock and Derby for an even wider choice of shops and amenities. Belper has a small local cinema which offers a nice alternative to the bigger well-known cinemas in Derby.”

“Our outside space comprises of three levels including the decking area which leads to the garden and then on to pasture fields. The decking area is perhaps my favourite spot as it’s perfect for BBQs, relaxing and entertaining. I can often be found out here working in the summer months. We enjoy pottering around in the garden and walking our dog in the field; it’s a lovely stress relief. We’ve hosted many get-togethers here with friends and family, including a 21st birthday party. There is plenty of space for bouncy castles and a marquee to combat the unpredictable British weather.”

“Lockerbie Manor Farm is a home that works perfectly all year round. We spend most of our time on the decking in the garden during the summer before migrating indoors in the winter months to relax in front of the fire in the cosy lounge. The snug is another favourite room as well as the kitchen and conservatory areas.”*
