Set back from the road along a long, private drive in the quietly coveted village of Troway, Doe Lea Farm carries the kind of presence that feels less like a property - and more like a chapter of English rural history.
Priced at £1,375,000, this four-bedroom farmhouse sits within 16 acres of land and rolling views.
The property dates back to before 1828, during the reign of King George IV, and was originally purchased from the Crown. That origin gives it a distinct identity - with a traditional, almost “royal” feel that runs through the building.
Inside, much of that history is still visible. Panelled walls feature throughout, alongside period fireplaces and details such as an Art Nouveau surround in the dining room.
The layout includes four bedrooms, multiple reception rooms, and a large orangery linking the main house to a one-bedroom annexe, making it suitable for extended family living.
While the style leans traditional, key systems have been updated, including a new Worcester boiler installed in 2025.
The land is a major part of the property’s appeal. Eight acres of grassland are paired with eight acres of ancient woodland, known as Newlands Woods, with a stream running through it.
The setting is private, with no rights of way, and supports a range of uses - from equestrian, with existing stables and a barn, to general countryside living.
Externally, the property includes two courtyards, open-fronted garaging for three vehicles, and maintained gardens extending to around three-quarters of an acre.
Despite it’s privacy, the home is also within a mile of multiple primary schools: Marsh Lane, Northfield Junior and Dronfield Stonelow.
For the essentials, the home is also a few minutes from Wards of Troway farm shop and cafe, and a 24-minute drive from Sheffield city centre.
