Barns 1 and 2 Carnfield Wood Farm | South Normanton | Derbyshire | DE55 2BL Carnfield Wood Farm Barns Cover.indd 3 23/01/2020 14:16 BARNS 1 AND 2 “The properties sit on a total of around seven acres, half an acre of which belongs to Barn 2, and the rest belongs to Barn 1. We have a lovely big garden, a large field and a paddock as well as two stables and a field shelter, so it’s ideal for keeping horses. But what I love most is the fact that I can sit out there and feel a million miles from anywhere.” Carnfield Wood Farm Barns Cover.indd 4 23/01/2020 14:16 Carnfield Wood Farm Barns Pages.indd 1 23/01/2020 14:16 KEY FEATURES Introduction Summary This is a fantastic opportunity to acquire these two properties set in just over 6 acres the stunning Derbyshire countryside.

Carnfield Wood Farm Barns Pages.indd 2 23/01/2020 14:16 Carnfield Wood Farm Barns Pages.indd 3 23/01/2020 14:16 SELLER INSIGHT This charming pair of beautifully converted period barns, which boast a combined total of just under seven acres of land, occupy a superb semirural location on the edge of the bustling town of Alfreton. “I’d always wanted to live in a place where I would be surrounded by nothing but rolling green fields, somewhere where I would have lots of open space and a real sense of tranquillity, so when we happened upon this property twelve years ago I’d say it was the setting that really sold it,” says Louisa. “However, what makes this particular location so very special is the fact that we enjoy that sense of rural seclusion, but with the peace of mind of knowing that everything we might want or need is just a short drive away. It’s a setting that really does offer the very best of both worlds.” “We think the barns date back to the 1800s and they were beautifully and very sensitively converted into these lovely homes back in 2007, shortly before we purchased Barn 2. They are both houses that work incredibly well for modern family life, but the developers retained features such as the old beams and they left the A-frames exposed so they have real character, and in Barn 1 most of the ceilings are vaulted so there’s an incredible feeling of space.” “We lived in Barn 2 very happily for a couple of years and then Barn 1 came onto the market. It’s slightly larger, has double the amount of bedrooms and so we decided to buy it, move in and use Barn 2 as a rental property. It’s an arrangement that has worked very well for us. It provides a good income and we’re close enough to keep an eye on the place.” “In Barn 2 I’d say that the kitchen is the real hub of the home. It’s open plan so it’s big enough for a dining table and therefore it’s a great space for both family life and entertaining. However, in Barn 1 I’d probably pick the main living room. It’s a lovely big room with a really impressive vaulted ceiling, and when the log burner is roaring away it takes on a really cosy atmosphere.” “It’s the feeling of rural tranquility combined with the fact that everything we could possibly want or need is within very easy reach that for me makes the location so superb.” “Another lovely area within Barn 1 is the mezzanine level above the main hall. It’s a very cosy space that we use as an office, and it has a little window overlooking the lounge, which is a lovely feature.”* * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an in- sight into life at the property.

Carnfield Wood Farm Barns Pages.indd 4 23/01/2020 14:16 Both barns have a really warm and welcoming feel, and they have both been very happy homes for us, but it’s the location that I think I’ll miss most,” says Louisa. “We’re a stone’s throw from everything, but when we come home it’s like being tucked away in our own little oasis.” Carnfield Wood Farm Barns Pages.indd 5 23/01/2020 14:16 Carnfield Wood Farm Barns Pages.indd 6 23/01/2020 14:16 Carnfield Wood Farm Barns Pages.indd 7 23/01/2020 14:16 Carnfield Wood Farm Barns Pages.indd 8 23/01/2020 14:16 Carnfield Wood Farm Barns Pages.indd 9 23/01/2020 14:16 Carnfield Wood Farm Barns Pages.indd 10 23/01/2020 14:16 KEY FEATURES Barn 2 The attached barn, also known as barn two, has a more traditional layout; with the ground floor comprising of a spacious kitchen/breakfast room, cloakroom, WC and living room.
