Description

Tyron Ash International Real Estate is proud to present this Victorian gem full of charm and character while offering modern comforts. This home features 6 bedrooms, 5.7 acres, and nearly 9000 square feet of living space.

In a charming village just five miles from Derby, Quarndon Hall combines rural tranquility with easy access to city amenities. Within 15 miles of the stunning Peak District limestone valleys, it is surrounded by picturesque countryside and footpaths. In addition to original fireplaces, cornicing, and ceiling roses, this Victorian residence was built around 1847. In 2019, a comprehensive renovation took place, including structural and cosmetic upgrades, a new roof, a boiler, rewiring, new insulation, and the replacement of all windows with Accoya timber-framed windows. There is underfloor heating throughout the ground floor and first floor, CCTV, security alarms, and a sound system.

Over 8800 square feet of light-filled space are spread over three floors, including a gym, attached garage, cellars, and storage areas with potential for an annex. The 5.7 acres of mature gardens feature well-stocked borders, an Italianate-style temple, and cascading ponds. There are ornate gates that lead to a generous driveway and the striking front of the house.

There is ample space for entertaining in the living rooms, which combine period elegance with modern touches. With its triple aspect and Lapicida tiled floor, the entrance hall leads to a 40-foot sitting room with stunning views of the grounds. With its attractive timber paneling and decorative coving, the dining room is ideal for formal entertaining.

The entrance hall opens up to an expansive open-plan family area with fossilized floor tiles dating back some 355,000,000 years from Mandale Quarry. The space includes a snug area, a circular garden room with a cupola, a dining area, and a bespoke Charles Yorke kitchen. It offers 270-degree views of the gardens from its stone pillars made of Derbyshire Grit Stone. There is a wood-burning stove within a stone fireplace in the snug area, perfect for a TV room. Under a roof lantern, the dining area also offers views of the garden.

The Charles Yorke kitchen is equipped with ample storage, glass-fronted display cabinets, open shelving, a central island with breakfast bar seating, and retractable power sockets. Along with a Falcon range oven with induction hob and extractor, Miele appliances include a full-height integrated refrigerator, under-counter freezer, microwave, steam oven, two warming drawers, a wine cooler, and a coffee machine. Four storage rooms are located in a cellar. An adjacent utility room includes a secondary sink and space for additional appliances, as well as Charles Yorke units.

Currently used as a gym, the adjacent building could be converted into an annex via a glazed walkway. For your health and wellbeing, there is also suitable plumbing for saunas and steam rooms. In addition to the kitchen, this versatile space features a lobby area.

There are four spacious bedrooms on the first floor. At the southeast corner, the main bedroom offers incredible garden views, a dressing room furnished with Charles Yorke furniture, and an en suite bathroom with Lapicida marble tiles, a free-standing bath, a walk-in shower, a WC, bidet, and twin vanity wash basins. Two of the bedrooms share an en suite bathroom, while the fourth has its own dressing room and access to a modern shower room.

There are currently two bedrooms, an office, and a storeroom on the second floor, but it can be reconfigured to accommodate various needs.

Plants included in the expertly landscaped gardens include over 1000 species of rhododendron, 80 species of camellia, and 1300 types of heather. There are also wide borders, manicured lawns, cascading ponds, and an ornamental lake on the grounds, which total about 5.7 acres. From the garden room, French doors lead to a patio seating area with a vine-draped pergola.

There are two brick buildings south of the garden: a small cottage used by gardeners and a larger structure with planning permission for residential conversion. Off Church Road, a sweeping driveway with ornate electric gates leads to a spacious parking area in front of the house and a large garage to accommodate at least four vehicles. Providing a striking first impression, the driveway enhances the property's grand reveal.

Quarndon village has a pub and restaurant, a cricket club, and a primary school. Allestree and Duffield are nearby, and there are excellent road links for commuting via the A38, A50, A52, and M1. Approximately four miles away, Derby city centre offers a variety of amenities, including high street and superstore shopping, parks, and leisure facilities.
