All the superlatives in the world couldn't do this property the justice it deserves. Nestled in the Quaker hamlet of Ford, within easy reach of the market towns of Leek and Ashbourne, this Grade II, stone barn conversion has a quintessential charm that tugs on the heartstrings.
Bucolic Living - Besides the gorgeous interiors and pretty gardens, the rural location next to the River Hamps makes this a highly desirable home. Quakers Barn is wrapped inside the Peak Park with incredible places such as Manifold Valley, Dovedale Valley, The Roaches, and Tissington all within easy reach. This really is an outdoor lover's paradise.
As you approach the property from the driveway, there's an ample parking space, and a stone wall that skirts the barn and gardens to give the home a good degree of privacy. A lush lawn and mature trees create an idyllic outdoor space to the rear of the building which overlooks rolling hills. The patio area is in a lovely spot where you can enjoy your morning coffee or entertain family and friends at the weekends.
Inside, on the ground floor, the entrance hall leads into the sitting room, dining room and a downstairs WC. As you enter the sitting room you're met with a beautiful oak floor, exposed beamed ceiling and an impressive log burner that stands against a stone backdrop. In the winter months the sitting room provides a cosy hideaway where you can curl up in front of the fire with your favourite book.
Bespoke Design - Step through to the dining room where the oak flooring and beamed ceiling continue. You can comfortably fit a six-seater dining table in the space, perfect for dinner parties. An oak latch door leads into the kitchen and breakfast room. This is a real tour de force of Quakers Barn as it embraces the bucolic setting with its country-style units, oil-fired Stanley range cooker, and slate flooring. Everything is totally bespoke, from the oak worktops to the central island. You can certainly appreciate the craftmanship and high-end features in here.
Cosy Boltholes - From the entrance hall, make your way upstairs to the three bedrooms and family bathroom. You'll find plenty of wonderful features that add to the character of the house, such as the Victorian-style bathroom. The master bedroom is a great space with a private en-suite and dual aspect windows that frame the countryside views.
Separate to the main building is a garage/workshop that stands across two floors. The downstairs could be used as either a garage or workshop, while the first floor currently houses a bar and a snug sitting area.
