Pinfold Lane, Bradley

Copestakes Farm is a well presented three bedroom brick farmhouse set within approximately 4.78 acres, offering a practical layout and a versatile separate detached barn suited to a variety of uses. Located in a popular country village and close to Carsington Water, the property provides a balance of rural surroundings with swift access to Ashbourne, Derby, Belper and Wirksworth, making it well placed for those who need to commute while enjoying a semi-rural lifestyle. Full fibre to the premises is available, making the property particularly suitable for home working.

The accommodation includes two reception rooms, providing flexible living and entertaining space, together with a dining kitchen fitted to accommodate everyday family life. A separate utility room and pantry offer additional storage, complemented by a guest cloakroom. To the first floor, the principal bedroom benefits from an ensuite shower room, while two further double bedrooms are served by a family bathroom. A separate study provides a dedicated area for home working or nursery.

Externally, the property has a large gravelled driveway providing ample off-street parking for multiple vehicles. The detached two-storey barn workshop and garage is currently utilised as a studio and office space, offering excellent versatility for those working from home or requiring creative or workshop space separate from the main house. The beautifully presented and landscaped garden enjoys open aspects, and the overall plot of approximately 4.78 acres makes the property well suited to equestrian use, a hobby farmer, or buyers seeking substantial outdoor space. Copestakes Farm will appeal to couples or families looking for a country home with land and a flexible outbuilding, within easy reach of nearby towns.

Entering through the front door into the reception hallway, there are doors leading to the sitting room and dining kitchen, together with a staircase to the first floor and a useful understairs storage cupboard.

The sitting room is a well proportioned reception space with a log burner set on a granite hearth forming a central focal point. A door provides access through to the dining kitchen. The dining kitchen is fitted with rolled edge work surfaces incorporating a 1½ composite sink with drainer and chrome mixer tap, complemented by tiled splashbacks. There is a range of base cupboards and drawers, wall mounted units, space for a freestanding oven, and appliance space with plumbing for a dishwasher. A wooden door opens to the rear garden, and internal doors lead to the dining room, boot room and utility room.

The utility room provides additional work surface space with plumbing for a washing machine and separate tumble dryer, built-in shelving and loft access. The electrical consumer unit is located here, and a door leads into a useful pantry with fitted shelving. The formal dining room is a further spacious reception room featuring a brick fireplace. The boot room, accessed from the kitchen, offers practical access to the outside and leads to a guest cloakroom fitted with a low level WC and wash hand basin with tiled splashback. The oil fired boiler is also located here.

To the first floor landing, doors lead to the three bedrooms, family bathroom, an airing cupboard housing the hot water cylinder and a study. The principal bedroom is a spacious double with access to an ensuite comprising a wash hand basin, low level WC, shower unit with mains rainfall shower and a chrome ladder style heated towel rail. Bedroom two is a further double bedroom enjoying elevated views across the garden and surrounding countryside. The third bedroom is also a double and benefits from loft access. A separate study provides a versatile space suitable for home working, nursery or hobby use. The family bathroom is fitted with a bath with chrome mixer tap, separate shower enclosure, low level WC and pedestal wash hand basin, with a window overlooking the garden and countryside beyond.

The Barn

To the rear of the property, the barn is arranged over two storeys and offers highly flexible space. On entering, there is an area currently utilised as an office, with a staircase to the first floor and access through to the workshop. The workshop extends to approximately 400 sq ft and is suitable for a range of uses, with a door leading to an additional store room. There is also an attached single garage providing further storage or garden equipment space.

To the first floor, there are two studio rooms with Velux roof windows to the rear. Given its size and configuration, the barn offers clear potential for a variety of alternative uses, including the creation of ancillary accommodation for a dependent relative or the potential for a holiday let or Airbnb, subject to the necessary planning permissions and building regulation approvals. The barn roof is fitted with solar panels, owned outright, which generated approximately £2,500 in 2025.

Externally, the property has a large gravel driveway providing ample off street parking for multiple vehicles and includes an electric vehicle charging point. To the front is a small lawned area. The rear garden is well maintained and landscaped, with a variety of flower and herbaceous areas, raised vegetable beds, seating areas including an oak veranda, a greenhouse and a large pond. Beyond the garden are paddocks and fields, with the overall plot extending to approximately 4.78 acres, offering potential for equestrian use, hobby farming or those seeking substantial outdoor space.

In addition, on the opposite side of the road from the house, there is a small orchard together with a separate adjacent field, further enhancing the overall offering and flexibility of use. Please note there is a public footpath which runs through a field at the rear of the property.
