Available with no upward chain! Welcome to Mount Farm, a property which has been within the same family for 50 years and has been a much loved family home. Positioned on Mount Road in the desirable village of Castle Gresley, this exceptional four-bedroom detached period home sits on an enviable plot of approximately a third of an acre and provides a unique opportunity for future development. Originally constructed in 1750 and thoughtfully extended over the years, the property seamlessly blends historic charm with modern family living, offering expansive accommodation, exposed timber character beams, and far-reaching scenic views across the surrounding landscape.
The ground floor opens into a remarkably spacious entrance hall, offering fantastic practical storage with direct access to a walk-in cupboard, a further storage room which would make the perfect boot room or pantry, a separate utility room which houses the Worcester Bosch boiler, has a handy airing cupboard and leads to the downstairs toilet. From the hallway, there is the bright first reception room, which benefits from dual-aspect windows that flood the space with natural light. This flows naturally into the central second reception room, anchored by an incredible feature fireplace that creates a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Continuing through the ground floor, the second reception room connects directly to the impressive farmhouse kitchen, which comes fully equipped with a double oven, electric hob, and an abundance of cupboard space. A back door leads directly out to the outdoor seating area, making it ideal for summer entertaining. A second inner hallway off the central living space leads to the staircase as well as the third reception room, which boasts another magnificent focal fireplace, completing a wonderfully versatile suite of ground-floor living spaces.
Upstairs, the home continues to impress with four exceptionally spacious double bedrooms, offering elevated views of the local scenery. The generous main bedroom features its own private en-suite bathroom, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a huge, beautifully appointed family bathroom, with a double sink and plenty of space to add a separate shower if desired.
Outside, the property is accessed via a private gated driveway providing ample off-road parking. The substantial plot spans roughly a third of an acre, offering extensive lawned gardens and a paved patio area, perfect for families seeking space, privacy, and countryside character.
Castle Gresley is a historic village in South Derbyshire, positioned near Swadlincote. Surrounded by gentle Derbyshire countryside, it offers residents peaceful village living while maintaining excellent links to nearby towns like Burton upon Trent and Ashby-de-la-Zouch via the convenient A444 route.
