Dale Head House Foolow | Eyam | Hope Valley | S32 5QB DALE HEAD HOUSE Dale Head House Foolow | Eyam | Hope Valley | S32 5QB DALE HEAD HOUSE Set within two acres of beautiful gardens and grounds and completely enveloped by nothing but mile upon mile of rolling countryside is Dale Head House, an extremely well proportioned and immaculately presented family home that over time has been sympathetically updated. A large four bedroomed detached house beautifully appointed with spacious open rooms which stands prominently in two acres of garden and paddock and has spectacular views over the limestone plateau in all directions and close to the sought after Foolow village. The property has been enlarged over the years and has evolved to offer a superbly appointed family home and would suit those actively retired and discerning buyers with equestrian interests. Rooms have been opened to offer spacious modern areas for living and to offer unrivalled views of the Peak District. Modernised tastefully and with facilities and utilities right up to date this is a lovely opportunity to settle in a remarkable location where there are endless recreational facilities, good schools and major commercial centres within easy reach just outside the Peak District National Park. Ground floor A central hall has a stair to the first floor and leads onto a comfortable sitting room, this room has a dual aspect, a lovely cast iron fireplace and the floor is oak boarded. In contrast the dining room has been opened out to the very large farmhouse kitchen. This is a remarkable hub of this family home and a natural place for gathering and social dining around the log burning stove. The kitchen is modern yet relaxed with timbered cabinets and Belfast sink around a steel cooking range and further practical storage within the pantry. Windows offer views towards Foolow village and doors lead out to the terrace and gardens. A utility room serves its practical function nearby and there is a cloakroom/wc for convenience. The lofty drawing room features a mezzanine with balcony, French doors connect with the extensive private gardens and there are distant views of Eyam Edge. The open-plan kitchen/diner is the real hub of the home,” says Neirin. “It’s a lovely big space that’s ideal for day-to-day family life and it’s also a great for entertaining.” First Floor A lovely arrangement of three double rooms and a single, the bathroom is large and luxurious, it has a modern suite in white featuring an oval freestanding bath and tap stand and a large separate shower enclosure. Within the grounds we have a large triple garage and adjoining garden room,” says Neirin. “However, if the new owners were keen to keep horses, subject to gaining the correct permissions, they could definitely be converted into stables.” Seller Insight My parents bought the property in 2002 and it’s where I lived from the age of eleven, so I spent a great deal of my childhood there and it was an idyllic place to grow up,” says Neirin. “The property incorporates gardens, a paddock and around half an acre of woodland, so it’s a magical place for children and the views are just incredible. It’s a very special place.” “The house was built in c1904 and an extension was added at some point before my parents purchased it, so it’s a very spacious family home, and it’s been beautifully enhanced in more recent years. All of the windows have been replaced, a mezzanine floor was added to the ‘long room’ – we’ve always used it as a spare bedroom, but it could be a lovely little office space – and the kitchen was beautifully refurbished and under- floor heating was installed, which has been a real plus. The house is now really lovely throughout and I think has that perfect balance between old and new; it retains lots of attractive original features but it’s definitely a home for modern family living.” “As I said before, this was a magical environment to grow up in,” continues Neirin. “My brother and I would be gone for hours, building camps in the woods, playing football on the lawn… but we never felt as if we were living in the middle of nowhere. Foolow is a lovely village, half a mile up the road so we always felt part of a community, and as we got older we could head into Sheffield or Chesterfield with relative ease and Manchester is only around an hour away. It’s a setting that has a lot to offer.” “There’s this amazing feeling of peaceful seclusion within the house and grounds, and yet the property is by no means isolated,” says Neirin. “Foolow which has a gorgeous pub is within walking distance and it’s possible to be in Sheffield city centre within half an hour.”* * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property. They have not been independently verified, should not be relied on without verification and do not necessarily reflect the views of the agent. I’ll miss the views, the garden, the setting… it was a fabulous place to grow up,” says Neirin, “and although just lovely as it is, I’d say that there’s still so much scope to further enhance the whole property.” Outside Around two acres of beautifully private gardens, secret paths meander amongst the woodland to the old tree house. The paddock and grazing land stretches out to the boundary and blends effortlessly with the adjoining rolling farmland up to Eyam Edge , Foolow and Bretton. Remote and electrically operated gates open to the long-curved drive to the garages. Garages are clustered by the boundary comprising a generous double and a separate single. The garden room adjoins the garages and is a splendid place to enjoy the upland views. LOCAL AREA Foolow is a conservation village in The Peak District National Park, 1000 feet above sea level on a limestone plateau but sheltered by Eyam Edge and Bretton. Nearby Litton Mill and Cressbrook Mill on the River Wye are areas of Special Scientific Interest and Special Areas of Conservation. Arkwright’s mills were major employers in the area, alongside agriculture. The village of Foolow lies a short walk away and has a stereotypical village green and a welcoming gastronomic country inn The Bulls Head.

  • News Updates
    Old House Museum Volume 1 | Issue 17 Updates 3rd October 2020 Bringing you the latest news from B.D.H.S and the Museum. Sincerely trust you are well and keeping safe. Art Council Project News. The techy part of our project is almost finished. The museum now boasts new VoIP telephones (voice over internet phones) and Wi-Fi boosters in most rooms. Internet speeds are greatly improved for our staff and volunteers. Visitors will be able to access the internet in order to listen to the QR Codes and post a few pics onto social media. A lesser strength of internet and a separate line of use which does not compromise our own computers security. QR Code recordings have been completed and currently being edited. We feel this will enhance the visitor experience to the Old House. The next task is to upload these recordings to our new website which is also receiving a lot of technical support thanks to Lesley Ayers, Duncan and Joyce Janes. The Covid film interviews are almost complete with just a couple still to film which are Lady Manners School and Bakewell Town Hall. Editing the films will be a time consuming job and this is currently underway. Thank you for sending in your Covid images. These will feature on the website along with the films. 2 LOCKDOWN by George Challenger The comparison with the 1665 lockdown at Eyam reminds me of how the Old House Museum was used in November 2001 for filming for a documentary for Channel 4. They wanted a place where the two priests, Mompesson and Stanley, could be shown planning for Eyam residents to self isolate.

  • Grindleford Including Nether Padley Parish Statement (Draft)
    Grindleford including Nether Padley Parish Statement (draft) Grindleford is a merger of the former parishes of Stoke, Eyam Woodlands, Upper Padley and Nether Padley. Grindleford Parish is located between Hathersage, approximately 3 miles north and Calver, approximately 3 miles south. The area is a popular walking and cycling destination with good public transport connections. The earliest mention of the village is in the 1248 Derbyshire Charter as Grundleford. Clearly the ford across the River Derwent was all-important. The building of a bridge across the river, first documented in 1577, facilitated the medieval salt routes used by packhorse drivers and later, the Photo needed turnpikes enabled the village to develop further. The railway was built in 1894 and this opened up the Hope Valley area to tourism and to commuters. here Grindleford has 2 conservation areas, the station designated in 1994 and the village designated in 1998. As a result of its transport connections, Grindleford developed in the C19th from its traditional agricultural structure. A tannery – superseded by a laundry in1913 - and quarries employed local people whilst its picturesque location attracted industrialists from Sheffield. Today, Grindleford has an eclectic mix of residents; professionals, business people, trades people, farmers, artists as well as people who work within the Hope Valley and retired folk. Grindleford has a thriving Primary School , a play group, a much-valued Community shop in the Vestry of St Helen's Church, numerous outdoor activities often focused on the Bishop Pavilion Playing Fields, (including a cricket team)and its own village website. It fosters an active community spirit and is enjoyed by walkers, cyclists and those who value the beauty of the Hope Valley and a welcoming rural area.

She can be contacted at [email protected] DATES • Prior to 1752 the year began on 25 March (Lady Day). In order to avoid confusion, a date which in the modern calendar would be written 2 February 1714 is written 2 February 1713/4 - i.e. the baptism, marriage or burial occurred in the 3 months (January, February and the first 3 weeks of March) of 1713 which 'rolled over' into what in a modern calendar would be 1714. • Civil registration was introduced in England and Wales in 1837 and records were archived quarterly; hence, for example, 'born in 1840Q1' the author here uses to mean that the birth took place in January, February or March of 1840. Where only a baptism date is given for an individual born after 1837, assume the birth was registered in the same quarter.

  • TRO Jacobs Ladder, Stoney Middleton
    Public Agenda Item No.4(d) DERBYSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL MEETING OF CABINET MEMBER – HIGHWAYS, TRANSPORT AND INFRASTRUCTURE 19 June 2019 Report of the Executive Director – Economy, Transport and Environment PROPOSED TRAFFIC REGULATION ORDER – STONEY MIDDLETON BYWAY OPEN TO ALL TRAFFIC NO. 15 KNOWN AS JACOB’S LADDER (1) Purpose of Report To consider the objections and other responses received following consultation and publication of a notice of a proposal by the County Council to make a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) to prohibit the use of this byway open to all traffic (BOAT) by mechanically propelled vehicles (MPVs), and to recommend that the Cabinet member authorises such a TRO to be made. (2) Information and Analysis The Route Stoney Middleton BOAT No.15, known as Jacob’s Ladder, is a 540m long route, rising steeply with an average gradient of over 15% or 1 in 7 from The Nook to New Road, Stoney Middleton. It is shown as a length of non-classified highway maintainable at the public expense on the Council’s List of Streets, kept under Section 36 of the Highways Act 1980. It was added to the definitive map and statement as a BOAT in November 2012, following a public inquiry into a definitive map modification order made by the Council, convened on behalf of the Secretary of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. The confirmed modification order indicates that the width of the highway varies between 3m and 3.5m. It is partly enclosed between stone walls and is, in places, a hollow way with steep banks on either side.
