Locked-down house-hunters have been dreaming of a life in the countryside, according to Rightmove, which has reported a spike in searches for properties in remote locations.

But you don’t need to head to Scottish Highlands, Dorset or Wales – all in the top 10 search locations – to find a haven of peace and tranquillity; SDL Auctions Graham Penny has this Derbyshire property which fit the bill perfectly.

Mill Farm, 18 Wood Lane in Horsley Woodhouse is a former farmhouse reached by a sweeping driveway and sitting on a plot of around a third of an acre surrounded by open countryside.

The three bedroomed detached house, which has a guide price of £250,000, is “crying out for a new owner to give it a fresh lease of life”.

With large rooms providing space and light, the property has an entrance hall, full-length lounge, dining kitchen with utility room/WC on the ground floor, with three bedrooms and a family bathroom upstairs. Outside the large garden is mainly lawned, with parking for several vehicles and plenty of space for an extension, subject to planning permission.

The property sits between Horsley Lodge Golf Club and the Rose and Crown at Morley, with easy access to the A608 to Heanor and Derby, and the A609 to Ilkeston. Horsley Woodhouse village has two grocery stores, including a Co-op, a medical practice with pharmacy, a café, fish and chip shop and a real ale pub.

Robert Stone, head of auctions East Midlands, said: “This is a fabulous property which remains largely untouched, providing the perfect blank canvas for a new owner to create a stunning family home in a beautiful corner of the Derbyshire countryside, without sacrificing the convenience of nearby amenities.”

Mill Farm, 18 Wood Lane in Horsley Woodhouse is due to be sold in SDL Auctions’ national property auction on May 28, which will be conducted by managing director and auctioneer Andrew Parker from the company’s auction studio and broadcast live over the internet.
