This is a rare opportunity to purchase a truly unique location, history and 2 additional refurbished annexes / cabins overlooking unspoilt National Trust countryside, yet only a few minutes from the M1 Motorway.

This is a well-known 6 double bedroom, detached stone residence, located on a hilltop (approx. 0.55 acres) overlooking the surrounding countryside, now serving as a spacious family home, set within mature grounds of a former medieval manor house. With a serving peaceful hamlet to one side and three large and well-preserved earthwork circuits (Moat, Rampart and Fishpond) defining the northern approach of the previous defended medieval manor, fed by a nearby spring.

The site historically has been owned by many Noble families, allies of King Edward IV during the Wars of the Roses, and famously linked some of the most powerful men and women of Elizabethan England (pre 1086 Domesday records, Cavendish, Hardwicks, Sauvages etc). The land later became owned by Duke of Devonshire and the National Trust.

The approach is via a private gated driveway with ample off-road parking and part cobbled forecourt, framed by mature trees and a traditional timber gate. The property is constructed in handsome local stone, with a striking red-tiled roof.

At the rear, the home is set against open countryside, offering sweeping views and stunning sunsets — a view best enjoyed from the elevated garden wall or the large rear-facing windows.
