Description
Park Hills Farm is situated in a peaceful, rural location with views across the adjoining countryside whilst remaining nearby to popular towns and cities. Most notably, the city of Derby is a mere 15 minute drive.

Complementing the farmhouse and buildings, and adjoining is the land, which includes both grassland and woodland. The whole extends to approximately 21.39 acres (8.66 hectares).
Park Hills Farm lends itself to those seeking a smallholding in a rural but accessible position, offering ample opportunities.
Location
The property is private yet very accessible to nearby popular towns and villages including Belper to the east (6.2 miles), Ashbourne to the west (7.5 miles) and Matlock to the north (11.1 miles). Each of these towns offers a wide range of amenities including local and high street shops, primary and secondary schools, supermarkets, and bus/train stations.
The city of Derby is just 8.5 miles to the south and Nottingham lies 22 miles to the east, both offering easily accessible commuter links. There are many nearby local walks, bridleways, trails and beauty spots within the surrounding area, excellent for those who enjoy the outdoors, particularly being close-by to the Peak District National Park.
Directions
From Ashbourne town centre, head east on the A517, signposted for Belper. Follow the A517 for approximately 5 miles, continuing through the village of Hulland Ward. As the road forks, with The Black Horse pub in front, bear right and follow that lane for approximately 2 miles. The driveway to Park Hills Farm can be found on your right hand side, indicated by our For Sale board. Park Hills Farm is at the end of the driveway.
Farmhouse
The farmhouse offers well proportioned accommodation arranged across three floors, with characterful features throughout. The ground floor is approached via a generous entrance hall, with a storage cupboard to the rear and stairs up to the first floor. To the left lies the sitting room with an open fireplace. To the right can be found the open plan kitchen/ dining room, with wood burning stove set within a brick fireplace. Off the kitchen, a large pantry lies offering storage, together with a laundry room, utility with fitted units, and a cloakroom with w/c.
Stairs from the entrance hallway lead to a long landing offering three spacious double bedrooms, and a family bathroom offering a modern suite including a basin, bath, and w/c. A second staircase leads to a fourth bedroom, offering a double room with pleasant views across the surrounding countryside.
Externally, the farmhouse benefits from a driveway area to the front providing parking for multiple vehicles, a lawned garden space, and a patio lead from the kitchen offering an area for outside dining, entertaining and relaxing.
Outbuildings
Situated adjacent to the farmhouse lies a traditional brick barn, which offers great potential for extension to the farmhouse, or conversion to another use (subject to the appropriate consents). A three bay steel portal frame shed with gates to the front (16.10m x 4.90m) lies perpendicular, and is versatile in it’s uses. Further buildings at the property include;
- Brick built former stables (no roof) and adjoining cart shed
- Four bay steel portal frame shed open to three sides (15.85m x 7.86m)
- Block built store
- Polytunnels have been erected on the property, although the frames will be removed.
There is undoubtedly great potential with the buildings for a number of different uses, depending upon a purchaser’s requirements.
Land
The land sits adjacent to the house and buildings, with the whole property measuring 21.39 acres (8.66 hectares). The land is predominantly grassland, with two small parcels of woodland lying to the north west of the property, which adds to the amenity of the property but also presents opportunities for the future. The grassland is divided into multiple parcels, with access tracks from the farmstead, and offers a useful acreage for those wanting to keep livestock and/or horses. The grassland is all suitable for grazing and the majority for mowing, with a gentle sloping gradient
