Fox Lane Farm is a substantial Grade II listed country house situated in the picturesque Peak District National Park, specifically in Holmesfield, Derbyshire. The property is presented as a charming and characterful four-double bedroom home, benefiting from impressive views over the surrounding countryside. The house seems to blend traditional features – such as exposed beams – with modern updates, as seen in the kitchen. The extensive grounds are a significant selling point, comprising multiple outbuildings and, significantly, large tracts of land. The property also includes two holiday cottages. This adds to the financial potential. However, further due diligence into the legality of operating holiday cottages needs to be considered. The lack of precise square footage data for the main house and outbuildings prevents a full assessment of value per square foot. This significantly hinders an accurate determination of whether the list price (£2,250,000) represents good value. While the location and land are undeniably strong assets, a detailed survey and professional valuation are crucial for prospective buyers to fully appreciate the property’s potential and to justify the list price. Potential buyers must be aware that significant ongoing maintenance costs associated with a property of this age and size are to be expected. Overall, this property presents a unique opportunity for a buyer looking for a substantial country house within easy reach of amenities and transport links, but an in-depth assessment is required to fully determine the actual worth of this property.

Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
