Character, light and considered design, surrounded by 3.4 acres of beautiful countryside. Millstone is rural living done beautifully.
There is something incredibly special about Millstones. A beautifully reimagined barn where original character meets interior-led design, the house enjoys an exceptional countryside setting quite literally moments from the Peak District National Park, yet remains wonderfully connected to Chesterfield and Sheffield.
For a barn, the natural light is remarkable. Large openings draw daylight deep into the house, creating interiors that feel bright, warm and wonderfully inviting, while an interior designer's eye has brought together texture, colour and character to create spaces that feel stylish without ever losing the building's rural soul.
Outside is where the lifestyle really comes into its own. Approximately 3.4 acres of predominantly level land open out behind the house, with far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside. For equestrian buyers, the setup is already here: three standard stables, a mare and foal stable, tack room and dedicated stable yard with water and electricity.
This is a home for muddy boots by the door, horses at the bottom of the garden, summer evenings in the hot tub and winter nights around the fire.
And importantly, it doesn't ask you to choose between the countryside and convenience. Horses at home. The Peak District on your doorstep. Chesterfield and Sheffield within easy reach.
Millstones manages to combine the escapism of rural life with the practicality of the real world, and does it with an exceptional amount of style.
Accommodation
Extending to approximately 2,066 sq ft, Millstones retains the proportions and character you want from a converted barn, but has been thoughtfully designed around the way people live today.
The ground floor is both light and incredibly social. At its heart is a contemporary Shaker-style kitchen centred around a generous island, with quartz worktops and a range of high-specification integrated appliances. It opens into the main living space, where a log-burning stove brings warmth and character, creating a natural hub for everyday family life.
A separate formal dining room gives entertaining its own setting, while the beautiful family lounge provides somewhere to retreat, complete with a second log burner and an altogether cosier feel.
Throughout, the interiors have been carefully considered by an interior designer. Contemporary finishes sit comfortably alongside the character of the original barn, creating a home that feels individual, layered and established rather than simply renovated.
Upstairs, four good-sized double bedrooms make the most of the property's setting, with fantastic views across the surrounding land and countryside. Two bathrooms serve the bedrooms, comprising a separate shower room and family bathroom.
It is a house with enough separation for family life, but one where the main spaces naturally bring everyone back together.
Outside
Millstones occupies approximately 3.4 acres, and it's only when you step outside that you fully appreciate just how special its position is.
The land opens out beautifully behind the house. Predominantly level and wonderfully usable, it stretches away towards open countryside, giving the property a genuine sense of space while retaining breathtaking views across its rural surroundings.
Immediately behind the house is a private garden with a decked entertaining area and hot tub, the perfect place to sit out in the evening and take in the setting.
For those with horses, Millstones is particularly compelling. A dedicated stable yard comprises three standard stables, a larger mare and foal stable and tack room, with both water and electricity already connected. Having the house, stabling and acreage together creates the opportunity for a genuine equestrian lifestyle from your own front door.
A substantial driveway provides extensive off-road parking and leads to a double garage, while a separate stone outbuilding offers further potential. Its character and position could make it particularly well suited to a studio or dedicated work-from-home space, subject to any necessary consents.
Why Wadshelf?
Sitting on the very edge of the Peak District National Park, Wadshelf is one of those special locations where countryside life feels completely immersive, without leaving you disconnected from everything else. Step out of the door and some of Derbyshire’s finest countryside is immediately accessible, with miles of walking routes leading out towards the Peak District and even across to the Chatsworth Estate for those looking to make a proper day of it. Closer to home, the much-loved Fox & Goose at Wigley is just moments away - perfect for a Sunday lunch or an evening drink after a countryside walk. Despite its wonderfully rural feel, Wadshelf remains exceptionally well placed for everyday life, with Chesterfield within easy reach and Sheffield readily accessible, making it a brilliant setting for anyone wanting horses, land and open countryside while remaining connected to two major centres. It’s a location that gives you the freedom of the countryside, the Peak District virtually on your doorstep and the convenience of town and city life when you need it.
Dales & Peaks ForwardMove please read
Dales & Peaks is marketing this Property with the benefit of ForwardMove. Dales & Peaks has introduced ForwardMove to help speed up the sales process, minimise sale fall-throughs and give more certainty to both the Seller and the Buyer.
Purchasers will benefit from the Buyer Information Pack (BIP), which we have created with our legal partners, to give buyers more information before they agree to purchase.
The pack includes:
Fixtures and contents form (TA10)
Official Copy of the Register (OC1)
Title Plan (OC2)
Local Search*
Water and Drainage Search*
Coal and Mining Search*
Homescreen / Environmental Search*
(Dales & Peaks has ordered the local, drainage, coal and homescreen / environmental searches; we will add these to the BIP as they become available)
ForwardMove allows the sale process to be completed significantly quicker than a ‘normal sale’. This is because the legal work, usually done in the first four to eight weeks after the sale is agreed, has already been completed. The searches, which can take up to five weeks, are ordered on the day the listing goes live and are transferable to the successful Buyer as part of their legal due diligence.
Additionally, and on behalf of the Seller, Dales & Peaks requests that the successful Buyer enters into a Reservation Agreement and pays the Reservation Agreement Fee of £595 (including VAT). This includes payment for the Buyer Information Pack and all the searches (which a buyer typically purchases separately after the sale is agreed).
Upon receipt of the signed Reservation Agreement, payment of the Reservation Agreement Fee, completion of ID and AML checks and the issuing of the Memorandum of Sale, the Seller will agree to take the Property off the market and market it as Sold Subject To Contract (SSTC).
During the Reservation Agreement period, the Seller will reject all offers and not enter into another agreement with any other buyer. The reservation period is agreed upon at the time of sale but is usually between 60 and 120 days.
The Reservation Fee is non-refundable except where the Seller withdraws from the sale. A copy of the Reservation Agreement is available on request, and Dales & Peaks advises potential buyers to seek legal advice before entering into the Reservation Agreement.
If you have any questions about the process or want to know how selling or buying with Dales & Peaks ForwardMove could benefit you, please speak to a member of the Dales & Peaks team.
