Steeplow Cottage Alstonefield | Ashbourne | DE6 2FS STEEPLOW COTTAGE Steeplow Cottage Alstonefield | Ashbourne | DE6 2FS STEEPLOW COTTAGE Steeplow Cottage is a five- bedroom detached stone cottage located within the conservation area of the Peak District National Park, on the outskirts of the highly sought-after village of Alstonefield. KEY FEATURES Steeplow Cottage is a five-bedroom detached stone cottage The property offers over 2,175 sq. ft. of well-appointed accommodation. The property boasts a covered porch area that leads through to the country style kitchen with beamed ceilings, a fantastic Aga, butler sink, tiled floors, built in cupboards and patio doors leading out to the front garden. Off the kitchen is the siting room with wooden floors, stone feature wall, beamed ceilings, an inglenook fireplace with log burner, and bespoke built in units that provide the room with a sense of warmth and space. The ground floor also includes a dining room with wooden floors and views across the fields that can accommodate large gatherings. Next to the dining room is the utility room which has solid wooden work surfaces, a wall mounted unit, plumbing for a washing machine, space for a dryer and the hot water cylinder and oil-fired central heating boiler. An inner lobby off the main sitting room provides access to the guest cloakroom and the snug which has a door onto the garden. Access to the cellar is from inside the house. SELLER INSIGHT The present owners, Gordon and Angela, enjoyed family holidays in the area and loved it so much that when Steeplow Cottage came onto the market, they decided to make Alstonfield their permanent home. They were so determined to own the cottage they bought it before they had sold their own house. The stone cottage dates from the late nineteenth century, when it was probably two separate cottages. It sits on the edge of the popular Alstonfield village and a five minute walk takes you to the centre which has a very busy social life centred on the church, village hall, and the good food pub. The cottage commands panoramic views across the neighbouring valley and the rolling vistas of the beautiful Peak District National Park. It is perfect for an idyllic, outdoor lifestyle with the convenience of thriving and picturesque Ashbourne, less than ten miles away. Angela explains that the cottage interior needed care and attention. They took the walls back to the stone and re plastered, added a dining room and, with great attention to detail, generally renovated throughout. It is now an ultra modern comfortable home where the inglenook and ceiling beams link it with its past. Gordon says the house is a sociable entertaining venue. Their five children return for the weekend of the annual Leaden Boot Challenge where competitors must cover twenty six hilly miles in twelve hours. Christmas and holidays again see the house alive with family, enjoying home and countryside. At such times the kitchen is the gregarious hub of the house. The large modern Aga copes with the extra demands, and ensures the kitchen provides a warm welcome home, after brisk winter walks. It is also a room for relaxation where you can quietly settle by the French doors, and watch the changing weather through the seasons. The pretty garden is a summer delight where you can enjoy the fantastic views from the comfort of the patio, which becomes the ideal al fresco dining room. The surrounding countryside is almost a vast garden extension, offering amazing walks and scenery. The cottage has given Gordon and Angela a charming lifestyle. They never intended to leave; however after five years they have decided to extend to a smallholding. They take away lovely memories. * 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. KEY FEATURES On the first floor there is a large gallery landing with doors leading off to the five bedrooms and a modern family bathroom. The master bedroom is an impressive double with dual aspect boasting wonderful views of the countryside. One of the four remaining bedrooms is currently being used as a dressing room which has a range of high gloss cream fitted wardrobes, whilst bedroom five is used as a home office with views across the neighbouring field which occasionally holds numerous sheep. The impressive family bathroom has been refitted with a white suite including an inset wash basin with granite top and vanity unit, separate shower cubicle and a Victorian style freestanding bath with tiled flooring and a heated towel rail. KEY FEATURES OUTSIDE Leading off the kitchen porch there is access to a large gravel driveway edged with stone walling with plenty of space for parking cars. The main garden lies to the front of the house and has been beautifully landscaped with a main lawned area, a paved patio and borders packed with a variety of plants and shrubs edged with a drystone wall.

  • Local Environment Agency Pi
    local environment agency pi DOVE ENVIRONMENTAL OVERVIEW AUGUST 1999 Ashbourne Dove LEAP Foreword I am delighted to introduce the Consultation Draft for the Dove Local Environment Agency Plan. This is the third LEAP to be produced in the Upper Trent Area of the Midlands Region and looks at environmental issues within the River Dove catchment. The Agency in consultation with key organisations has identified a number of environmental issues relevant to this area. We need to confirm that we have addressed all current issues and the options to resolve them, taking into account the often conflicting demands on the environment by its users. The LEAP process will provide a vision for the environmental needs of the River Dove area. It will provide a framework within which we can seek to develop new partnerships with organisations and bodies with whom we wish to share a common approach on environmental , issues. This report is published as part of our commitment to being open and consulting with others about our work. This will be part of a major consultation exercise and marks the start of a three month period of consultation. Following the consultation period the Agency will produce a five year action plan which will set out a costed programme of work by the Agency and other organisations. Annual reviews over the five year period will report on significant achievements and progress being made on the issues. Your views are extremely important. Only by letting us know your opinions will we be able to make a real difference to your local environment.

  • Village & Community Magazine November 2020
    Village & Community Magazine November 2020 Keeping our Local Villages Connected Alstonefield, Butterton, Ecton, Elkstones, Warslow & Wetton Remembrance Day When I think about Remembrance Day, I recall being at the Menin Gate in Ypres, Belgium seeing my son Joseph playing at the nightly Last Post Ceremony. He first played at the Last Post Ceremony in 2010 with the City of Stoke Youth Brass band. The occasion was very moving, the Youth Brass band playing, veterans bearing standard flags and wreaths, the buglers playing the Last Post and the Reveille. Last year he was there again, with Silk Brass Band. The band was given special permission to march from the Market Square to the Menin Gate. A privilege normally reserved for Military Bands. The first time I witnessed Joe playing there he was nearly eighteen, he would have been old enough to march through that gate towards the battlefields, the trenches, and the front line. The names inscribed on the walls of the Menin Gate and other War Memorial sites were mainly of young men like Joe. Ordinary young men. It brought home to me the reality of the millions of young men’s lives, who died in war. At the end of the ceremony, the words of the Kohima Epitaph are read: When you go home tell them of us and say, for your tomorrow we gave our today. These words echoed in my head. It is important to remember and not to forget. Those named on the Memorials were all someone’s son, brother, husband, or father. Their deaths had an impact on their loved ones, their homes, and their local community.

  • Village & Community Magazine April 2021
    Village & Community Magazine April 2021 Keeping Connected our Local Villages of Alstonefield, Butterton, Ecton, Elkstones, Warslow & Wetton The Hope of Easter Following a Pandemic and a National Lockdown It is a year since the pandemic lockdown started. The order was to stay at home. What were your feelings and thoughts at that time? Shock? Fear? Disbelief? Uncertainty? A sense of what now? These feelings reflected our sense of loss. A loss of our normal daily lives. A loss of going to work, to school, to the shops and seeing loved ones. We missed our families, friends, colleagues. We lost human social contact. We grieved these losses. We suffered being separated from our loved ones. We ached for a simple hug and embrace. We left older family members isolated in their own homes, or in a care home: unable to visit them. We have watched healthcare staff donning full Personal Protective Equipment to bravely face the consequences of people infected by Coronavirus. They were armed with patience and compassion. They shifted working on their normal wards into a hospital full of patients in intensive care beds. Treating seriously ill patients, some who recovered, and many who died. Many who died far from their loved ones, with staff stepping in to hold their hands. Last year has been harsh, painful, and a difficult experience to live with, for all of us. It has impacted the very core of being human. Impacting our physical, mental, spiritual, and social well-being. A dark time and place in our lives. Following Jesus’ arrest in the darkness of the Mount of Olives; after the Last Supper on that first Maundy Thursday.

The Peeling Back the Layers project is a project that focuses on the study of Whitle, a small area within the parish of Sheen, in Staffordshire, lying on the river Dove right on the boundary with Derbyshire. It has had a relatively long gestation with the interests of many local people in the history and development of the landscape within which they lived, and in the people who lived there before them, becoming focused initially in the Tudor Farming Interpretation Group (TFIG), but now in a much more ambitious formal project with funding and support from a number of local and national bodies, and in particular from the Heritage Lottery Fund. The project is multi-disciplinary marrying the skills of professional historians and archaeologists, but also incorporating the work and knowledge of the local community, so that the project is very much a ‘hands-on educational project’.
