Farnah Green, Belper, Derbyshire DE56

A distinguished six-bedroom stone-built country residence in Farnah Green, offering secluded luxury with landscaped gardens and a heated pool, just moments from Belper and Duffield, with countryside walks and village life on the doorstep.

The ground floor of Chevin Lodge has been thoughtfully designed to offer both practical family living and refined entertaining, with a strong emphasis on quality materials, generous proportions, and expert craftsmanship.

Upon entering, you’re greeted by a grand oak-panelled reception hall, immediately setting the tone for the rest of the home. A striking stained-glass window casts a kaleidoscope of colour across the space, creating a memorable first impression. This central hall provides access to all principal reception rooms, each spacious and beautifully appointed.

The formal sitting room is a standout, generously proportioned with high ceilings, a full-height Derbyshire stone fireplace, and a distinctive top-loading log-burning stove. A broad bank of front-facing windows floods the room with natural light and offers views over the private driveway. It’s a space that seamlessly blends comfort with sophistication, ideal for relaxed evenings or hosting guests. Adjacent to this, the games room provides a more informal retreat, perfect for leisure or adaptable to suit individual lifestyle needs.

The bespoke kitchen features solid oak cabinetry, granite worktops, and a suite of premium appliances from Miele, Neff, and De Dietrich. A characterful stable door leads to the rear porch, which could be used as a breakfast room or informal dining area. A traditional panelled serving hatch connects directly to the formal dining room for ease when entertaining.

The dining room is fully panelled in oak and designed for elegant hosting. French doors open onto the rear garden and pool terrace, allowing for seamless indoor-outdoor dining in the warmer months.

Completing the ground floor is a large utility/boot room, guest cloakroom, and under-stair storage, all designed with function and style in mind. Throughout the property, features such as deep oak skirting boards, original-style panelling, and consistent architectural detailing reinforce the quality and heritage of this distinguished home.

An elegant staircase rises to a spacious galleried landing, where six double bedrooms are arranged to optimise light, flow, and privacy. The principal suite enjoys serene views across the gardens and pool and includes a walk-in wardrobe and luxurious bathroom complete with a cast iron roll-top bath, separate shower, and period-style fittings.

Each additional bedroom has its own unique charm, with character features including cast iron radiators, leaded windows with deep oak sills, and lofty ceilings. A second opulent family bathroom serves these rooms, similarly appointed with a roll-top bath, separate shower, and exquisite period detailing.

One of the bedrooms is currently used as a study, offering flexibility for remote working or creative pursuits. A spacious linen cupboard with a circular feature window adds a delightful architectural touch and further practical storage.

Set within approximately 0.61 acres, the gardens at Chevin Lodge are truly special. Mature trees, clipped hedgerows, and a natural stone wall provide complete privacy, while sweeping lawns, rockeries, and richly planted borders create a timeless English country garden aesthetic.

At the heart of the outdoor space lies a charming heated swimming pool, elegantly enclosed by a walled terrace with ornate ironwork, stone paving, and multiple seating areas, ideal for summer entertaining or peaceful afternoons. A characterful changing room, boiler house, and ornamental planting complete this luxurious leisure setting.

To the front, twin stone pillars and wooden gates open to a sweeping gravel driveway with ample parking, leading to a substantial detached triple garage with electric door, lighting, and side access.

The grounds also offer potential for development (subject to planning permission), with scope for a guest annexe, home office, or self-contained accommodation, perfect for multigenerational living or a high-end holiday let.
