For over a century, Church End Farm has been woven into the same family's story. Long before the current owners lovingly transformed the former farm outbuilding into the beautiful home it is today, childhood picnics beneath the Derbyshire skies first created a connection to this remarkable setting. What followed was the careful restoration of a derelict building into a warm and welcoming family home that has become the backdrop to generations of memories.Comprising a beautifully converted three-bedroom barn, a separate two-bedroom cottage and approximately 3.18 acres of gardens, orchard and paddocks, Church End Farm offers a lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find. Here, family gatherings become traditions, grandchildren grow up exploring the grounds, and every season brings something new to enjoy, from blossom in the orchard to spectacular sunsets across the valley beyond.Set within the sought-after village of Turnditch and surrounded by rolling Derbyshire countryside, this is a home of extraordinary warmth and versatility. Whether enjoyed as a multi-generational family home, a countryside retreat or a place to create memories for generations to come, Church End Farm is a property that invites you to put down roots and become part of its continuing story.Ground Floor: At the heart of the home lies a magnificent vaulted kitchen, designed as a true gathering space where family and friends naturally come together. Beautifully appointed with an extensive range of cabinetry, solid timber work surfaces, integrated appliances and exposed brickwork, the room combines character and practicality in equal measure.

SUN HOUSEOriginally commissioned and constructed in 1937 for a local business owner, the design of Sun House was undertaken by award-winning architect Raymond Myerscough-Walker. Known for his architecture, Raymond was also a talented perspectivist, painter and sculptor. The influence of this wealth of creativity is evident throughout the design of property and its importance to historical England is recognised by its Grade 2 star listing – an accolade reserved for homes of true distinction. Since its conception, Sun House has gone on to feature in many books on modernist architecture as well as being listed in 2005 in The Independent’s Top Ten Modern UK Homes. Enjoyed by only 3 previous owners, it is evident that Sun House is not just a property of impressive design, but also a property which has been thoroughly enjoyed as a family home. THE ACCOMMODATIONAs you would expect from the name, one of the key design considerations to Sun House is maximising the light gained from its elevated position and fantastic predominantly south-facing orientation. As soon as you enter the house you start to appreciate the considerations taken to maximise this light, as well as the plethora of original features that can be found throughout the property. The ground floor offers spacious and practically arranged accommodation to suit family living with accommodation, in brief, comprising of: entrance lobby, an open dining reception hall, formal living room with an incredible semi-circular glazed aspect overlooking the gardens, kitchen offering a tasteful blend modern fitments and appliances as well as traditional cabinet integrated through granite worktops, WC/ cloaks, generous understairs store and an externally accessed utility area.

Once on the landing, you can find 4 well-proportioned bedrooms which all enjoy lovely aspects, a family bathroom, separate WC and a truly impressive balcony area which offers ample space for lounging, dining and entertaining, all while enjoying the very special outlook. The crown jewel of the home is undoubtedly found on the second floor. Continuing up the main spiral staircase, at its top you are greeted by a glazed atrium with a phenomenal terrace wrapping around. Offering the most incredible 360-degree views over Nottinghamshire, it creates an additional area to sun lounge in privacy, relax or entertain. Views as expansive and unobstructed within greater Nottinghamshire are extremely rare to come by. GARDENS & GROUNDSEnclosed on all sides and set back from the road, Sun House enjoys circa two thirds of an acre of beautifully established and private grounds. Entered via private electric gated entrance, you are greeted by a long driveway flanked by hedgerows that run to the attractive frontage of the home where you’ll find ample off-street parking space as well as access to the detached double tandem garage. The remainder of the predominantly south facing gardens comprise of a number of sitting and dining areas, an array of raised beds, fruit bushes, specimen trees such as American Horse Chestnut, Twisted Hazel, Fig, and Magnolia, a large wildflower garden with orchard, formal lawns, pond, pergola, greenhouse, independent sauna with changing area, workshop to the rear of the garage, several storage sheds and more. It is, for sure, an area which needs to be seen to be appreciated and a true ‘gardeners’ haven’. GARDEN ROOMA more recent addition to the grounds is the spacious garden office, tucked away out of sight of the main house at the end of the wildflower garden. It’s an ideal space for people working from home or even a gym, and with the underfloor heating, sliding doors and sun deck, it is a great area that can be enjoyed all year round.
