3 bed cottage for sale

Fenny Bentley, Ashbourne DE6

**please note new EPC is being done shortly - new windows to front added**

Set within the southern Peak District National Park, around two miles north of Ashbourne, Fenny Bentley is a historic village recorded in the Domesday Survey of 1086. Its traditional stone buildings and setting beside Bentley Brook provide an attractive backdrop to this character cottage, with Ashbourne’s shops and amenities a short journey away

Dating back to the 1700s and forming part of the former Wheatsheaf inn, this three-bedroom home combines a rich history with practical additions for everyday living. Tastefully extended during the 1970s–1980s, it offers two inviting reception rooms, a separate kitchen, utility room and rear hall, together with a paddock, metal outbuildings and incredible open-field views to the front and rear

An entrance porch opens into the lounge, where exposed beams and a log burner create a welcoming focal point. Electric underfloor heating adds comfort while allowing the room’s traditional character to take centre stage. A door connects to the separate dining room, which also features exposed beams, its own log burner and electric underfloor heating. With space for a family dining table, this is equally suited to everyday meals or gathering friends together

The rear hall links the dining room with the kitchen and utility room and provides a separate entrance from outside - particularly useful after time spent in the garden or paddock. The kitchen has work surfaces and fitted units arranged around the room, with windows on three sides bringing in natural light. The separate utility provides additional workspace and a sink, helping to keep laundry and outdoor essentials away from the main living accommodation

Stairs from the dining room lead to the first-floor landing with access to three bedrooms and modern shower room. Bedroom one is a generous double with fitted storage, while the remaining bedrooms offer flexibility for family, guests or working from home. The first-floor shower room also benefits from electric underfloor heating. New uPVC windows to the front are a further practical improvement

Outside, the paddock and metal outbuildings will particularly appeal to buyers looking for outdoor space for hobbies, storage or keeping animals. Having double gate opening onto large Tarmac driveway for a number or vehicles or motorhome, as well as vegetable patches and outdoor W.C.
Open countryside to both the front and rear gives the property a far-reaching rural outlook, with space to enjoy the setting throughout the seasons

For buyers seeking a period home with useful land and outbuildings, Wheatsheaf Cottage offers a distinctive opportunity to enjoy village life and the surrounding countryside while remaining close to Ashbourne
