DESCRIPTION
An excellent opportunity to acquire an attractive Georgian, Grade II listed, semi-detached property dating from the turn of the 18th century and situated in the heart of the sought after village of Ashford in the Water. The property is deceptively spacious, having many period features and well proportioned rooms which are light and airy offering a lovely family house. Our clients have gone to considerable trouble to ensure that all the renovations and decor are in keeping with the age of the property and have also used good quality materials. A solid wood front door opens into the entrance hall with flagged floor and doors opening off on both sides. The drawing room opens to the left and is a good square room with original paned and shuttered window, oak floor and an individually designed stone mantel with open fire. This room is currently in use as a study. To the right of the hall is the sitting room which is open through to the rear dining room to provide one large, airy space. The sitting room has a stone mantel over open fire, original paned and shuttered window and wood floor, all similar to the drawing room. A step from the sitting room leads to the dining room with wood floor, French doors to the garden and beamed ceiling. A door from the dining room leads to the rear hall with stairs sweeping to the first floor, access to the wine cellar and a further door out to the garden. To the left of the rear hall is the kitchen which has been completely redesigned featuring a good range of new hand-made solid wood wall and base units by local artisan Dominic Lee, with Belfast sink and appliances including a Rangemaster electric 5-ring cooker inset in a stone mantel, dishwasher and fridge. A door from the kitchen leads through to the side passageway which runs down the side of the house from front to the rear and offers plenty of racking and storage, as well as accommodating the cloakroom, the condensing boiler and washing machine/dryer tower at the rear. Additionally, there is a recessed space in the passageway for a large fridge/freezer unit. A side door provides a third passage to the garden.
The stairs feature a wide mezzanine landing with large picture window onto the garden.
The large landing upstairs gives access to the master bedroom with well-proportioned en-suite bathroom, two further double bedrooms, a smaller bedroom and a large main bathroom. Both the en-suite and main bathroom have been wholly refurbished with new Kohler brand ware, and floor and wall-to-ceiling tiling. Outside there is a small garden to the front with parterre left and right set in a gravel raised bed and a well maintained, good-sized green-and-white themed walled garden with central parterre to the rear planted with a variety of flowers and shrubs. The rear garden also benefits from two wooden storage sheds.
Ashford in the Water is considered to be one of the most attractive and sought after villages in the Peak District with a well stocked village shop, Post Office, pubs and a country house hotel in the village, and it is within the Lady Manners catchment area. The market town of Bakewell is nearby and the larger towns of Buxton, Sheffield, Matlock and Chesterfield are all a short drive away.
