Description

Butterley Grange presents an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire one of Derbyshire's most remarkable private estates. Extending to almost 17,000 sq ft within approximately 13.5 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, paddocks and equestrian facilities, this is far more than a magnificent country residence, it is a lifestyle, business and legacy investment unlike any other.

Approached via a sweeping gated driveway, the principal residence has been thoughtfully designed for both grand-scale entertaining and refined family living. Elegant reception rooms, exceptional open-plan living spaces and beautifully appointed bedroom suites are complemented by a truly spectacular principal suite, complete with a dedicated dressing room and luxurious ensuite.

Created with entertaining and wellbeing at its heart, the estate boasts outstanding spa facilities with a substantial indoor swimming pool and sauna, together with an impressive cinema room, games room and gym. A vast entertainment suite, centred around an exceptional bar, offers an atmosphere more akin to an exclusive private members' club than a private residence, providing an unforgettable setting for entertaining on any scale.

Further enhancing the estate is ‘Noah’s Ark’, a charming and entirely self-contained separate residence, offering excellent flexibility for extended family, guests or independent accommodation. A "Gardener’s Cottage" provides additional on-site accommodation, ideally suited to a resident groundsman or estate staff, allowing the extensive grounds and equestrian facilities to be managed discreetly from within the estate.

The scale, privacy and versatility of the estate present exciting opportunities for equestrian pursuits, exclusive weddings, corporate events, wellness retreats or boutique hospitality, subject to the necessary consents.
Perfectly suited to entrepreneurs and business owners, Butterley Grange also features a dedicated boardroom and an established on-site income-generating business included within the sale.

Despite its private country setting, Butterley Grange is exceptionally well connected, with excellent road and rail links to London and convenient access to East Midlands Airport for international travel. Highly regarded schooling, everyday amenities and the nearby cities of Derby and Nottingham are all within easy reach, offering an exceptional balance of privacy, connectivity and convenience.

Offering an unrivalled combination of luxury, commercial opportunity and exceptional lifestyle, Butterley Grange is a landmark estate that rarely comes to market and represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to acquire one of the region's finest private residences.
