3 bedroom detached house for sale

With stunning panoramic views all the way to Thorpe Cloud and Dovedale, this home occupies an enviable position towards the end of a pleasant and peaceful cul-de-sac. Located within a short walk of the town centre, this home has been updated and redecorated, with a high quality kitchen and utility room to the fore. It's also a gardener's paradise, with a well-stocked garden which has been lovingly tended over the years.

On the ground floor is a spacious sitting room, breakfast kitchen, dining room, utility, WC and plenty of storage. To the first floor are three double bedrooms and a modern family bathroom. At the front is a driveway with off-road parking and a verdant rockery garden, whilst at the rear there are plenty of vantage points from which to sit and dine whilst looking down over the garden and Ashbourne itself - and beyond to those magnificent landmarks of Thorpe Cloud and Dovedale in the far distance.

This is a hidden gem - a wonderful home and garden in a splendid location.

The town centre is just a 15 minute walk away, with a wide range of shops and supermarkets including Sainsburys and M&S Food close by. Just outside Ashbourne are the Derbyshire Dales and Dovedale, with the Peak District just a short cycle ride or drive away.

Front Of The Home - Located towards the end of this quiet cul-de-sac, the home is of standard brick and tile construction, with modern uPVC windows throughout. A driveway at the front provides off-road parking and there is a rockery garden on the right, packed with plants, bushes and trees. This offers privacy for the sitting room too. A gate on the right leads through to a path to the rear garden. You can enter the home at the front into the utility room or entrance porch.

Entrance Porch - Entering through the part-glazed uPVC front door, you alight onto a patterned ceramic tiled floor. There are tall frosted windows on the right, a high ceiling and contemporary light oak door with glazed panel to the entrance hallway.

Entrance Hallway - The carpeted hallway includes a radiator and ceiling light fitting. Matching Mexicana doors with chrome handles lead into the sitting room, breakfast kitchen and the versatile dining room/study. Stairs from the hallway lead up to the first floor.

Sitting Room - 6.6 x 3.7 (21'7" x 12'1") - We love this splendid light and airy room, with a wide east facing window at the front and double French doors with full-height windows each side at the back. Consequently, the room is flooded with natural light. This carpeted room has a radiator, two ceiling light fittings and plenty of room for flexible room layouts. A log burner with flue sits upon the tiled hearth. At the far end of the room is a perfect spot to position seating to look out over the rear garden and take in the uninterrupted views all the way to Thorpe Cloud and Dovedale.

Breakfast Kitchen - 3.7 x 2.6 (12'1" x 8'6") - Another lovely bright and airy room, this has a wide west-facing window with more of those magnificent views (we will be saying this a lot!). Opposite the window is a wall-mounted breakfast bar with space for four stools underneath.

The L-shaped worktop has an integrated electric Zanussi oven with four ring hob and contemporary extractor fan above. The stainless steel sink and drainer with chrome mixer tap is positioned in front of that window so you might even forego the integrated Zanussi dishwasher, to give yourself an excuse to wash the dishes and drink in the view! There are two high level cabinets and a range of low level cabinets and drawers, including an integrated refrigerator.

The room has light oak veneer flooring, a ceiling light fitting, under-stairs cupboard and open archway through to the sleek utility room.

Utility Room - 6.7 x 1.65 (21'11" x 5'4") - The light oak veneer flooring flows through from the kitchen into one of the most impressive utility rooms we've ever seen! The long worktop has an integrated 1.5 stainless steel sink and drainer with chrome mixer tap. There are lots of glossy white cabinets with chrome handles above and below, including an integrated freezer and washing machine. There is a radiator, recessed ceiling spotlights and part-glazed doors to the front and rear gardens. Mexicana doors open to reveal a large storage cupboard and the ground floor WC.

Ground Floor Wc - 1.6 x 0.75 (5'2" x 2'5") - With light oak veneer flooring, this room has a capsule WC with integrated flush, wall-mounted ceramic sink with chrome mixer tap, frosted double glazed window and a ceiling light fitting.

Dining Room-Study - 4.85 x 2.45 (15'10" x 8'0") - This large rectangular room is currently used as both a dining room and study - it's plenty big enough to accommodate a 4-6 seater dining table and large desk and bookcases together. The wide east facing window brings lots of natural light in and there is pine-effect vinyl flooring, a ceiling light fitting and radiator.

Stairs To First Floor Landing - Carpeted stairs with a handrail on the right lead up to the first floor landing. There is a west facing window at the turn of the stairs. At the landing there is a ceiling light fitting and loft hatch above. Matching Mexicana doors with chrome handles lead into the three double bedrooms and family bathroom.

Bedroom One - 3.65 x 3.56 (11'11" x 11'8") - What a view!! From this elevated position, the uninterrupted panoramic views are even more spectacular through the wide west facing window. The bedroom itself has a suite of fitted wardrobes with integral dressing table, plus additional fitted furniture above and beside the double bed. The room is carpeted and has a radiator and ceiling light fitting. If you chose to remove the fitted furniture, it would make this already very spacious room even more roomy and flexible in terms of layout.

Bedroom Two - 3.7 x 2.65 (12'1" x 8'8") - Another room with the spectacular views to Dovedale and beyond, you also get a clear view over the rear garden and the rooftops of Ashbourne town below. This double bedroom is carpeted and has a radiator, ceiling light fitting and full-height cupboard housing the Worcester boiler.

Bedroom Three - 3.65 x 3 (11'11" x 9'10") - Located at the front of the home, this spacious double is also a tranquil room, with very little passing traffic outside. The room is carpeted and has a radiator and ceiling light fitting.

Bathroom - 3.7 x 2 (12'1" x 6'6") - We adore this modern, stylish bathroom. It's always great to have a separate bath and shower and this room certainly delivers! The sleek rectangular bath has a chrome mixer tap. The walk-in double mains-fed shower includes a large ceiling-mounted rainforest shower head and reinforced glass screen. There is a contemporary wide vanity unit with ceramic sink and chrome mixer tap. The ceramic WC has an integrated flush and the room also includes a radiator, frosted double glazed window, recessed ceiling spotlight and extractor fan, light oak effect vinyl flooring and a shaver point.

Rear Garden - Simply magnificent! Even without the views, this would be a splendid garden. Lovingly tended and developed over the years, the garden has a wide curved elevated limestone patio offering views over the rear garden, the town and beyond. The sun sets over to the west and it's an enchanting place to relax and dine with family and friends. The dining patio has plenty of room for a patio dining set and larger dining table and chairs, plus additional seating.

A stone path meanders between two neat lawns, with verdant colourful flower beds on all sides. Timber fences form the border on each side, with a picket fence at the bottom. The neat well maintained cottage garden at the bottom includes several raised vegetable patches and a shed. There is an outside tap too.

This is a beautiful peaceful sanctuary from which to watch the seasons go by - a truly wonderful location and a gardener's dream!
