There are direct rail services to London available from Derby and Burton upon Trent. The area offers an excellent range of schooling, with primary schools in both Hilton and Etwall and one large secondary in Etwall, John Port School.

Description
Ivy House Farm comprises a period three bedroom farmhouse with an attached range of traditional outbuildings, currently used as a workshop, storage and stabling and being in various states of repair. To the south of the property, standing within an extensive yard area is a steel-framed dutch barn. There is a generous lawned garden and a small paddock extending to about 0.40 acres. Ivy House Farm is in need of modernisation and would lend itself to the possibility of re-modelling to incorporate some or all of the adjoining outbuildings to create a fabulous country home (subject to obtaining the necessary consents).


Accommodation
The front door opens into a broad reception hallway which has stairs rising to the first floor with an understairs cupboard and access through to a generous breakfast kitchen. The kitchen has a good range of base units with wood effect work surfaces and include an oil fired Rayburn Royal range cooker with tiled splashback and over-mantel. Built-in pine cupboards provide additional storage. A step leads up to a further kitchen area, which has a sink unit, an electric cooker point, half-height tongue and groove panelling and a door leading to the rear courtyard. A window overlooks the rear gardens. Off the kitchen there is a living room with a brick fireplace and wood burning stove. Also off the reception hallway is a utility/cloaks room with plumbing for a washing machine and leading to a WC and a walk-in pantry.


Stairs rise to the first floor landing which has a window overlooking the front of the house. There are three double bedrooms, one of which is accessed through a room previously used as an office, but which would be suitable for use as a dressing room or en suite, subject to the necessary consents. A family bathroom completes the first floor.


Outbuildings
Adjoining the house is a range of traditional brick built outbuildings, currently used as workshop and stores, together with a brick stable block. Adjacent to the rear courtyard is a further brick outbuilding with kennel, stabling, tack room and oil tank store. These buildings offer the potential for conversion if required and subject to the necessary consents. South of the house is a detached steel framed Dutch barn.


Outside
Ivy House Farm is accessed via metal double gates onto an extensive yard area with parking space for a number of vehicles. Adjacent to the front door is a lawned area and blue brick paving leading round to extensive lawned gardens, which are enclosed by mature trees and bushes and have a kitchen garden area. The blue brick paving continues through a wooden gate to the rear courtyard and a further extensive enclosed area, ideal for further parking space or development, subject to the necessary consents.


South of the house is a small enclosed paddock area, extending to about 0.40 acres.
