Mill Lane, Brailsford

Mill Farm, Brailsford is a four-bedroom Grade II listed farmhouse with origins dating back to the late 17th century, later extended during the mid-19th century. The property displays a number of attractive period features externally, including dentilled eaves and traditional multi-pane windows, reflecting its historic character and agricultural heritage. The farmhouse is also recorded in the Domesday Book, adding further historical interest to the setting. Internally, the accommodation extends to over 2,000 sq ft of gross internal living space and retains a wealth of original character features such as exposed ceiling beams, stone thrawls, a traditional stone salting tray, wooden latch doors and other historic detailing. The layout currently includes three reception rooms, a dining kitchen with pantry, utility room and guest cloakroom to the ground floor, with four bedrooms, a study and two bathrooms to the first floor. A useful attic room, along with further attic storage space, provides additional flexibility/storage.

The accommodation offers a versatile layout with potential to alter or reconfigure areas of the house to create a self-contained annex or separate living space, which may suit a dependent relative or multi-generational living. The property is set within a well-maintained lawned garden enjoying a rural outlook across the Brailsford Mill pond, with a timber decking area providing a pleasant seating space. There is ample off-street parking for multiple vehicles together with a detached double timber garage.

Mill Farm is located just outside the village of Brailsford and benefits from swift access to the A52, providing convenient connections to Ashbourne, Derby and Belper.

The property will particularly appeal to couples or families seeking a spacious home in a well-regarded location who appreciate the character, history and architectural features associated with a traditional period farmhouse.

A wooden front door opens into the reception hallway, which features a quarry tile floor and a wide staircase to the first floor. Doors lead through to the lounge and dining kitchen.

The lounge is a characterful reception room with a striking exposed stone wall and a separate exposed brick fireplace with inset log burner and stone hearth, forming the focal point of the room.

The dining kitchen has slate tiled flooring with underfloor heating (electric) and is fitted with farmhouse-style wooden cabinets and preparation surfaces, incorporating a ceramic Belfast sink with cupboard beneath. The original fireplace houses an electric Aga, and there is space for an American-style freestanding fridge freezer. A useful pantry provides additional storage.

The utility area retains the original brick floor and stone thrawl, with a sink, appliance space and plumbing for washing machines and dryers. There is also a wall-mounted boiler and a further larder room or cool store with stone thrawls.

A versatile study, which could also serve a range of alternative uses, features the original stone salting tray. This room leads through to the rear reception hallway, which has a separate staircase to the first floor, quarry tile flooring and a Velux roof window. Doors lead to the sitting room and the boot room/guest cloakroom.

The boot room/guest cloakroom has a quarry tile floor, pedestal wash hand basin and low-level WC.

The sitting room is a spacious dual aspect reception room with windows to the front and side. A large brick fireplace with stone lintel, inset log burner and stone hearth forms the main feature, complemented by built-in solid wooden cupboards set within the chimney breast recesses. The room also retains the original feature bread oven.
