Embrace village life by living in Hartshorne, the cricket pitch and pub with local ales are the heart of the village and there is an excellent restaurant at The Mill Wheel. The village benefits from a range of local amenities including a highly regarded village primary school, two public houses, recreation facilities and frequent public transport services to nearby Ashby, Woodville and Swadlincote centres. Hartshorne is also well situated for ease of access to Burton on Trent and Derby City centres, the M42/M1 motorway and East Midlands International Airport.

You will find the barn at the culmination of a long winding shared gravelled driveway approach where electric five bar gates open to the principal driveway. To the right of the entrance is the secondary driveway with five bar gate double access, providing further parking.

You start your visit by stepping into the feature reception hallway with its high vaulted ceiling and tall glazed windows. It has a boot/coat area plus a useful guest's cloakroom. Next is the inner lobby, another vaulted living space where a winding open tread staircase leads onwards and upwards. A glazed door opens into the heart of the home, an expansive open plan living dining kitchen that is beautifully appointed with an array of cabinets and gleaming quartz countertops with a central breakfast island providing a hub to the room for the family. Polished tiled floor runs underfoot and flows through into the dining area where there is space for a large family table. From the kitchen windows you have wonderful rural views, a feature of the barn which only gets better and better the higher you go in the property.
Leading off the kitchen is a large walk-in utility/pantry room with a matching range of units with an integral dishwasher, space for a fridge freezer plus open pantry style shelving. Dividing the kitchen from the living room are feature oak glazed double doors which can be folded back to connect the rooms to create a large open space for gatherings or be kept closed to create a cosy room centred around its log burning stove flanked by tall picture windows framing the countryside views.

Upstairs on the first floor are three double bedrooms and a principal family bathroom. Oak flooring runs throughout this floor and all of the bedrooms enjoy far reaching panoramic views. The master suite has the benefit of dual aspect windows and views to both sides. It also has a dressing area with bespoke fitted wardrobes and a luxurious en suite with large frameless walk-in glazed shower with rainfall shower head, floating contemporary vanity with inset wash hand basin and WC, and a tall feature radiator. The principal family bathroom is similarly well appointed with a large shower, vanity wash hand basin and WC.

From the landing a second staircase take you to a further double bedroom with the benefit of its own contemporary bathroom as well as a sitting room with a side facing window looking towards the hillside coppice of trees.
This versatile space is ideal for guest's or as a teenager's den.

Return outside and take time to once again to appreciate the views from the large lawned gardens, a perfect space for kids, dogs and summerhouse barbeques. Adjacent to the barn is a lower courtyard area with composite decking which currently houses a hot tub and swim pool (available by separate negotiation).

Also adjacent to the barn is an excellent purpose built living space with kitchenette and WC which is ideal for a wide variety of uses such as a family room, guest suite or even annexe with the relevant tweaks and approvals. In addition there is an attached large former double garage/workshop which has been re-purposed into a superb entertaining space known lovingly by the family as 'The Baa'. Directly opposite is a second large workshop/store.
