The fully applianced kitchen has custom pine and cherry cabinetry and an authentic soapstone sink. Around the corner are a large pantry and the washer & dryer.

When you are coming and going from the garage, shop or gardens, enjoy the benefit of a practical mudroom with plenty of space for boots, sweaters and winter coats. Step into the oversized garage where you'll find plenty of room for vehicles, toys and more. The back side of the 24' x 30' garage was designed to accomodate up to 3 boxstalls easily and slide-by doors are already in place. A walk-up loft will hold all your "stuff" or your hay/shavings if you own animals. A haydoor is conveniently located off the back of the building.
For those with horses or other livestock, you can utilize about 9-10 acres in good pasture, a 6 +/- acre hayfield and still enjoy the deer/turkey plot and garden areas that are already established. Once part of an old farm, the land is lovely.
One of the best places to be at Derry Hill Farm is the shop building. With 3 rooms, a lavatory, and a maple sugar setup, this charming post & beam building is presently a maple sugar house & antique shop. there's a "kitchen" with sink & fridge and large storage areas both attached and overhead. Sit on the porch or open the sliding barn door and inhale the view.
