Description

Rock Farm is a productive arable farm set within a ring fence which includes a delightful, spacious farmhouse that has recently been decorated. The farmhouse is set in the heart of the farm, down a private drive, offering privacy and tranquillity alongside far reaching views. Adjacent to the farmhouse is the footings of a farm building that offers scope for construction of a new farm building and yard area.

The farm is situated outside the desirable village of Sutton Scarsdale with excellent road connections to Junction 29 of the M1. The house sits in the centre of the land with excellent vistas across open countryside.

Rock Farmhouse

The property is approached from the public road down a private drive leading to a parking area at the side of the house.

The farmhouse is constructed from brick under a slate tile roof and retains character throughout while benefiting from modern features. The property offers scope for expansion to further enhance its excellent position.

The entrance hall benefits from a feature window allowing light to flow into the property. The entrance hall leads through to a large kitchen and separate utility with WC. The kitchen is the focal point of the house with the living room accessed off the entrance hall and benefits from an open fire.

On the first floor there are three double bedrooms and a family bathroom. There is a lawned garden that wraps around the property and is bordered by mature trees adding to the privacy with the property also benefiting from a single garage. To the side of the house is an orchard with a range of mature fruit trees.

Farm Buildings

To the north of the farmhouse is the footings of an agricultural barn, this was taken down following earlier storm damage 6 months ago. Alongside this is an area of hard standing for machinery storage. Subject to obtaining the relevant planning permission the building could be rebuilt and extended to create further storage.

The Land
The farmland extends to approximately 104.77 acres (42.40 hectares) in total.

Over the last four years the land has been left fallow, it has now been cultivated and worked enabling a good entry for a spring crop or alternatively seeded to grass.

As with a lot of land in the local area, it has previously been open cast mined and subsequently restored. The land is classified as grade 4 on the provisional agricultural land classification. When it was previously cropped it was productive land capable of growing a wide variety of
combinable crops.

The fields are divided by mature hedgerows that provide a habitat for a wide range of species. The land rises to the south and undulates across the farm. The land is under drained with a new scheme having been laid on restoration of the land with the vendors improving this over the years, under their ownership.

Location

The farm is located outside the village of Sutton Scarsdale in a desirable part of Derbyshire with excellent road and rail connections locally. The farm is approximately 4 miles to the east of the large town of Chesterfield and 5 miles to the south of the attractive and renowned market town of Bolsover.

Chesterfield has a wide range of amenities including, supermarkets, schools and a number of restaurants.

There are regular trains from Chesterfield to London St Pancras with fast trains from 1 hour and 50 minutes. Junction 29 of the M1 lies approximately 3 miles to the south and provides access to the north and south of the UK.
