BENNET SAMWAYS are delighted to offer for sale this substantial and extended five bedroom detached family home, occupying a generous 0.18 acre plot with glorious views across the Derbyshire Dales. Situated within one of the area’s most sought-after villages in the renowned ‘Golden Triangle’, the property offers approximately 2,000sq.ft. of versatile accommodation, together with a detached double garage and excellent dependent-relative potential.

The property has evolved to provide an unusually flexible arrangement, with part of the accommodation currently lending itself particularly well to a dependent relative, multi-generational family living or perhaps an older child seeking a degree of independence. Alternatively, buyers may wish to reconfigure the existing layout to create a splendid and more conventional family home, subject to any necessary consents.

Interior - The main entrance opens into a hallway with stairs rising to the first floor and access into the principal reception rooms. The sitting room is a comfortable and inviting space with a log burning stove providing a lovely focal point, while the separate dining room gives ample space for family dining and entertaining.
To the rear is the main kitchen, fitted with an extensive range of wooden cabinets and work surfaces. A traditional Rayburn adds considerable character, with further provision for a cooker, dishwasher and space for a fridge/freezer. An adjoining matching utility room provides additional storage and workspace, together with plumbing for a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer. A conservatory overlooking the garden provides another useful reception space and creates a pleasant connection between the house and its outside surroundings.
The particularly interesting feature of the ground floor is the additional living accommodation positioned to one side of the house. This incorporates a further generous living room and separate kitchen, creating an excellent degree of independence from the principal accommodation. The arrangement is ideally suited to a dependent relative or multi-generational household, while offering considerable potential for incorporation back into the main house should a purchaser prefer a larger, more traditional family layout.
To the first floor, the flexible nature of the house continues. The principal bedroom benefits from its own dressing area and ensuite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by the family bathroom. The bedrooms associated with the additional accommodation also have access to their own bathroom, further enhancing its suitability for dependent-relative living. In total, the property provides five bedrooms, allowing plenty of scope for family, guests and home-working requirements.

Exterior - The house occupies a generous plot extending to approximately 0.18 acres and enjoys an enviable setting with wonderful Derbyshire Dales views. Gated access opens onto a substantial sweeping tarmac driveway, providing excellent parking for numerous vehicles and continuing to the detached double garage.
The gardens lie principally to the front and rear and are predominantly laid to lawn, with established mature hedging around the boundaries helping to create a pleasing sense of privacy and seclusion. To the rear, a paved patio provides an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining while taking full advantage of this delightful village location.

The combination of its sizeable plot, views, approximately 2,000sq.ft. of accommodation and exceptionally adaptable layout makes this a particularly intriguing opportunity. Whether retained for multi-generational living or remodelled to create one impressive family residence, it offers tremendous potential in one of the Derbyshire Dales’ most desirable village settings.

Locality - Longford is a charming and relatively small village situated in the southern part of the Derbyshire Dales, surrounded by rolling countryside and a scenic network of rural lanes, including the notable Long Lane. Just 6 miles from the market town of Ashbourne and around 10 miles from the city of Derby, Longford lies within an area fondly referred to by locals as the "Golden Triangle"—an attractive region known for its desirable rural living, yet excellent accessibility.
The village is primarily centred along Main Street, which becomes Longford Lane as it leads eastwards, and is home to a close-knit community. Longford offers a peaceful village lifestyle while still providing some key amenities, including the well-regarded Longford Church of England Primary School. While the village itself is tranquil, further facilities and services can be found in nearby towns such as Ashbourne and Derby.
The surrounding area is ideal for countryside walks, cycling, and equestrian activities, making it particularly appealing to outdoor enthusiasts and families seeking a rural yet connected lifestyle. The wider Derbyshire Dales and Peak District National Park are also within easy reach, offering further opportunities to enjoy the region’s natural beauty.
