Our Agent Sam Says: Plot A - “This impressive home set within 2.65 acres offers spacious and versatile living, a perfect mix of rural and modern life. As soon as we arrived, I was stunned at the beauty of the wrap around garden and the presence of the property. Heading in through the large front door, the hallway welcomes you in with Minton tiles and wood flooring and is a great open space. There are 3 large reception rooms, all overlooking the incredible views of the garden. One of them has a cosy log burner, the other has a lovely brick feature fireplace and the orangery has exceptional space with natural light. The country style kitchen sits nicely at the back of the home, having a large island with a breakfast bar and an Aga. The dining room also has lots of character, having a brick feature fireplace and plenty of space for a family dining table, this room then opens up into the large, beautiful orangery which has a lantern skylight flooding the space with natural light and bi-fold doors out onto the decking. It is a wonderful place to relax and unwind. Downstairs also benefits from a practical utility room, a downstairs shower room and access to a large double garage. Heading on upstairs, the bedrooms do not disappoint. There are 2 great choices for a master bedroom, both equally perfect. They both benefit from an en-suite shower room and open fireplaces adding to the cosy feel. There are 3 further double bedrooms and a large family bathroom. Outside, the barn with original vaulted wooden beam ceiling, has been converted into a work space for the current owner, however is fully equipped to be sectioned off and used for either an annex, as an Airbnb, or for extended family. There is also room to park a minimum of 7 vehicles in the large courtyard. Where do we begin with the garden? It is a beautiful vast space with lots of different little areas. There are 2 summer houses, both are fully insulated, and the corner one has lighting, heating and Wi-Fi capability. There are beautiful trees surrounding the whole garden, plenty of areas for seating and even a hot tub! We adore this home and we believe you will too, it really is something special”. Business Opportunities: If you are looking for something more than just a home, there is an existing, established secure dog paddock business available and stables in the courtyard with planning permission to convert into a 1 bedroom annexe with mezzanine, offering rental/Airbnb potential. Plot B - “The fully fenced, secure dog paddock spans approximately 1.4 acres, with secure access, parking, and a loyal client base. Whether you're looking to generate additional income or simply enjoy the space for personal use, the business is offered as an optional addition to the sale. The paddock has operated successfully as a secure dog exercise area since 2021. There are further opportunities to grow the business. All infrastructure is in place and will be part of the sale. The current owners are happy to provide guidance or transition support if desired”. Take a look at the website Plot C - There is further opportunity to purchase stables within the courtyard, that have planning permission for a 1 bedroom annexe with a mezzanine. Being separate to the house this could create a great source of income through rental/Airbnb, or extended family. "We will miss this beautiful old farmhouse deeply, it has been our much loved home for nearly eight years. Built in 1799, it’s full of charm, character, and a timeless warmth that you simply can’t find in modern houses. The blue room in the middle of the house, is a favourite for reading and enjoying quiet time. The garden has been our sanctuary, peaceful, natural, and alive with birdsong. We’ve spent so many mornings with coffee in hand, watching the birds return each year and soaking in the calm. Evenings have been just as special, we love sitting in the hot tub, especially in Winter under the vast night sky, watching the stars and feeling completely at peace. The orangery has been a favourite space, filled with light, perfect for relaxing or gathering with friends and family. There’s a zip line across the garden that’s brought so much laughter and fun for the kids, and countless moments we’ll never forget. Letting this place go is bittersweet, but we know it’s ready to offer its magic to the next people who will call it home. The large barn attached to the home is a great place to work, and equally a homely family gathering space over the Christmas break” Foston is a small, peaceful village located in South Derbyshire, offering a charming rural lifestyle while still being well-connected to nearby towns and cities.
