Church House, Thorpe, Ashbourne, Derbyshire

For Sale - Freehold
Guide price: £1,150,000 (subject to contract)

This attractive, stone built house under a Staffordshire Blue tiled roof is approached down a small lane leading to a private gravelled driveway offering off road parking for a good number of vehicles and garaging for three cars. To the left of the driveway is a good sized barn which incorporates two stables and offers great potential for an incoming purchaser to create additional or ancillary accommodation (subject to planning). The house is the other side of the driveway and our clients currently use the rear door which opens into a good sized hallway with glazed roof which in turn opens into a utility room to one side and a lovely, light conservatory garden room to the other. Both the hallway and conservatory garden room were recently constructed by Amdega. The front door to the house opens into a good sized hallway with the dual aspect drawing room to the left. The dining room to the right is partially oak panelled and has a spice cupboard. There is a small study to the rear. An inner staircase hall has a recently re-fitted cloakroom off. The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with an excellent range of wall and base units with granite worktops by Davenports of Nottingham. There is also a good range of appliances including a Falcon range cooker with two ovens and a grill, a built in microwave, integral fridge and a drop down flat screen television. The kitchen has ample space for a large kitchen table, with doors leading out to the dining room, garden and utility room. To the first floor is a master suite comprising a dual aspect bedroom and en suite bathroom, two further double bedrooms and a shower room. To the second floor is a further large bedroom which is currently in use as an office. Several of the rooms have window seats, shutters, fireplaces and oak beams. Outside the back door is an outbuilding containing a large store room, boiler room and gardener’s w.c. The front of the house has wisteria, roses, honeysuckle and jasmine in season. Both the main house and the conservatory garden room have large paved terraces, with a garden store to one corner, a pond to the other and steps down to a lawned area off which are various well stocked borders. To the top corner of the garden is a charming summer house by Scots of Thrapston, constructed on a turntable to take advantage of the lovely views down over the garden and beyond over open countryside. The property benefits from many fine, mature trees and a high degree of privacy and seclusion without being isolated. A gate from the garden leads into a large orchard with a selection of fruit trees and has lovely views over the village towards Thorpe Cloud. Adjacent to the orchard is a large field with post and rail fencing offering a good opportunity for those with an equestrian interest.
