This individually designed rustic three-bedroom bungalow was built, for the present owners, in the mid-1980’s to a very high standard. Situated off a quiet street with 11 acres (stms) of good well-fenced pastureland, this property would make an ideal equestrian family home and together with a DEFRA holding number lends itself to a number of further uses (subject to planning approval). Well located with Alfreton (London St Pancras 135 mins) 4 miles, Ripley 5 miles, Nottingham 15 miles, Chesterfield 16 miles and Derby 17 miles, the property is 2 miles from the A38, 4 miles from the M1 motorway and 24 miles from East Midlands Airport.
