Hidden discreetly behind electrically operated gates on the prestigious Agnes Meadow Lane, Stoneybrook is one of Derbyshire's most impressive contemporary country residences — a home of remarkable architectural quality, privacy and craftsmanship.

Constructed in 2011 as an exceptional self-build project by a renowned and highly respected local builder, whose portfolio also includes the magnificent Horsley Hall, the property was designed entirely around lifestyle, light, privacy and its surrounding landscape. Every element of the residence reflects uncompromising attention to detail, exceptional build quality and a timeless architectural vision.

Occupying an enviable elevated setting amidst rolling countryside, Stoneybrook enjoys exceptional privacy, with breathtaking far-reaching views from virtually every aspect. At the heart of the grounds lies a spectacular ornamental lake, beautifully positioned as the centrepiece of the gardens, creating an atmosphere more akin to a private country retreat than a traditional residence.

Extending to over 10,900 sq ft in total, including the principal residence, detached annex apartment, gymnasium, extensive garaging and equestrian complex, Stoneybrook represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the region's finest lifestyle estates.

Ground Floor Accommodation

A spectacular entrance vestibule opens into a dramatic reception hall, where full-height ceilings, galleried landings and herringbone parquet flooring establish an immediate sense of scale and grandeur.

The principal reception room is a magnificent triple-aspect space centred around an imposing stone fireplace with inset log burner, whilst expansive glazing frames uninterrupted views across the landscaped gardens, ornamental lake and rolling Derbyshire countryside beyond. The adjoining drawing room and games lounge continue the theme of luxurious entertaining spaces, each individually designed with bespoke fitted cabinetry and elegant proportions.

A beautifully appointed family room provides a more intimate retreat, complete with handcrafted bookcases and a feature fireplace, whilst the bespoke home office enjoys fitted furniture and Crittall-style glazing.

At the heart of the home lies the extraordinary open-plan living kitchen and dining area — an exceptional architectural environment designed for both everyday family living and large-scale entertaining. The bespoke hand-painted kitchen incorporates extensive Corian preparation surfaces, a substantial island, integrated appliances, twin wine coolers, pantry storage and a statement Lacanche range cooker. Roof lanterns and expansive glazing flood the space with natural light, whilst perfectly framing the spectacular countryside setting.

Supporting accommodation includes a luxury boot room, utility suite, wine room with bespoke racking and guest cloakroom facilities.

First Floor Accommodation

A sweeping staircase rises to an impressive galleried landing overlooking the principal reception hall below, enhancing the property's exceptional sense of volume and architectural drama.

The principal suite is particularly impressive, comprising a substantial bedroom with elevated countryside views, a luxurious dressing room with bespoke fitted furniture and a lavish spa-inspired en suite bathroom complete with a freestanding bath, twin vanity units and an oversized shower enclosure.

Bedrooms two and three are beautifully proportioned guest suites, both benefitting from fitted wardrobes and elegant en suite facilities. Two further double bedrooms are served by a luxurious family bathroom finished to an exceptional specification.

Throughout the first floor, bespoke joinery, premium materials and refined interior styling continue the home's uncompromising level of finish.

Annexe, Garaging and Leisure Facilities

Positioned above the detached triple garage is a superb self-contained studio apartment/annexe, ideal for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, staff quarters or independent working. The annexe provides a stunning open-plan living environment with vaulted ceilings, kitchenette facilities and contemporary shower room accommodation.

In addition to the principal triple garage block beneath the annexe, the property also benefits from a further substantial triple garage positioned below the dedicated gymnasium, creating garaging for up to six vehicles in total. A further secure storage room, accessed from the courtyard area, provides excellent ancillary storage for garden equipment, sporting equipment or workshop use.

Further ancillary accommodation includes workshop space, integrated storage areas and a dedicated gymnasium, all finished to the same exceptional standards evident throughout the principal residence.

The property additionally benefits from a dedicated high-speed private internet line serving Stoneybrook exclusively, ensuring reliable connectivity throughout the residence — ideal for modern family living, home working and media requirements.

Outside and Grounds

The approach to Stoneybrook is both elegant and discreet. Twin stone pillars with remotely operated wrought-iron gates open onto a sweeping driveway leading through beautifully maintained formal grounds towards the residence.

The gardens and grounds are genuinely exceptional, professionally landscaped to create a series of stunning outdoor entertaining spaces featuring extensive limestone terraces, sculpted planting, architectural retaining walls and sweeping lawns.

A spectacular ornamental lake forms the focal point of the estate, positioned perfectly within the grounds and creating a truly breathtaking backdrop to the residence. Combined with the rolling Derbyshire landscape beyond, the setting offers remarkable tranquillity, privacy and visual drama throughout the seasons.

A raised entertaining terrace incorporates a Scandinavian-style sauna and relaxation area overlooking a dramatic sunken firepit seating space, ideal for entertaining on both intimate and grand scales.

The equestrian facilities are equally impressive, comprising a substantial detached stable block with formal stabling, tack room, machinery storage and extensive paddock grazing land extending to approximately 16.5 acres under a separate title.
