DESIRABLE COUNTRYSIDE LOCATION…

Post Office Farm, 8 Ambaston Lane, Thulston DE72 3EU Offered to the market inviting offers over £550,000,

This charming, detached period home is available chain free with vacant possession.

Up to 10.25 acres of additional land are available by separate negotiation with the same vendor.

Having been in the same family since 1971, Post Office Farm is now offered for sale for the first time in over 55 years. Positioned along a quiet country lane just outside the sought-after village of Thulston, within Elvaston Parish, the property enjoys open countryside to both the front and rear, creating a peaceful and private setting while still offering convenient access to Derby, Nottingham and key transport links.

The property dates back to the mid-19th century and was originally a farm built for the Harrington Estate at Elvaston Castle, later serving as the village post office between the 1930s and 1960s. Elements of this history remain evident today, including the former post office space, now forming part of the ground floor accommodation. The home offers a welcoming, homely interior that some may wish to update, with accommodation comprising two double bedrooms and a single bedroom, two bathrooms, a kitchen, two reception rooms and a sun room within a rear extension added in 2010.

The arrangement of the land ensures that much of the outlook is retained within the ownership, enhancing both privacy and the rural aspect. Set within a generous plot of approximately 0.27 acres, the property also benefits from an adjoining paddock of around 0.11 acres, held under a separate title and accessible directly from the garden.

Externally, the property is complemented by a range of useful outbuildings, including a substantial garage and workshop, a stable, an open-sided barn and a greenhouse. There is ample off-road parking for several vehicles. The gardens, having more recently been used for grazing, now offer an excellent opportunity for those looking to create and landscape outdoor space to their own design.

There is clear potential to extend or reconfigure the property further, or to adapt the outbuildings for alternative uses, subject to the necessary planning permissions. The property is not listed, lies within the Green Belt, and is not situated within a conservation area.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a long-held family home in a desirable rural location, offering character, privacy and significant potential, with the added option of further land available separately.
