Being rebuilt just over 15 years ago, the modern property offers an abundance of living space and is ideal for those seeking a contempory home while having the added benefit of a small equestrian facility, ideal for one or two horses. Alternatively, further living accommodation could be created for extended family, subject to necessary permissions. GROUND FLOOR

The main ground floor accommodation, truly is the heart of the home and you are taken immediately with the available space. The front entrance porch leads you into the inner hallway, which opens up into a magnificent, open plan, dual aspect, lounge and kitchen dining area, a real wow factor upon entering.

The dual aspect lounge has a more formal aspect to the front, with its open vaulted ceilings, offering a wonderful feeling of space, having a multi fuel burning stove, set in an exposed brick fireplace and a more relaxed TV area to the rear, with patio doors leading to the rear garden. A further flexible snug/sitting room can be found to the front aspect along side the kitchen area, which could easily be used as a fourth bedroom, office or playroom for example. Again a great sense of space in this room, with the benefit of an open fireplace.

The spacious kitchen dining area again has an incredicble sense of space, with the kitchen offering ample storage, breakfast bar, five burner double oven range, with further fitted oven, microwave and dishwasher. This is adjacent to the formal dining area, with laminate flooring, looking out over the rear garden.

The ground floor has a further separate downstairs WC and utility area, offering plumbing and fitting for a washer and dryer, boiler store and further sink unit. The WC room is fitted with a modern two piece suite. This area has the benefit of a rear stable door to the rear garden.

SELLER INSIGHT

Elldan Grove is a superb detached family home surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside, and within walking distance of pretty Brailsford village. This rural property also offers the best of town and country living as picturesque and historic Ashbourne is only five miles away, and City eight miles.

The current owners Dave and Michelle explain that the house was originally a family owned bungalow. They were delighted to purchase the plot, as they realised they could design a spacious family home from the existing building. They took the bungalow down to the outer walls and with great care and the use of high spec materials rebuilt Elldan Grove. It is now a home with a luxury of space and comfort, and has given the family great pleasure for fourteen years.

The well equipped kitchen is the spacious daily hub of the home, and flows into the dining area, making it perfect for family meals and entertaining. The family enjoys entertaining and this sociable zone, with its bar, can easily accommodate a large number of guests, who can wander through the patio doors into the garden.

Dave explains that they included attractive features in their design, and the sitting room is evidence of this. The two large stone arch windows, brick fireplace and vaulted ceiling combine to make a pleasing room for family relaxation; whilst a beamed archway cleverly divides the room, from where patio doors lead into the garden.

The open fireplace in the beamed snug makes the room an inviting winter retreat, where you can settle on the window seat with views to the garden. These garden views add a charm to the bedrooms: and master bedroom has two generous windows, flooding the room with positive natural light. It is a great adult sanctuary

The large, landscaped garden is a glorious swathe of lawn and mature trees, and a choice of patios from where you can savour the tranquillity of your surroundings. An attractive out building is now a self contained one bedroom cottage, and the owners built a “man cave” adjacent to the patio which has served as a playroom and office. The stables, ménage and adjoining paddock form the ideal home for the horse lover.

Friendly Brailsford has a primary school, a shop and busy village hall. It is a short drive into the Peak District for endless walks, and nearby Carsington Reservoir offers activities for a day out. Popular Alton Tower is a half an hour away. Elldan Grove enjoys a fantastic location. Dave and Michelle are sad the time has come to downsize, but take away many very happy memories.*

FIRST FLOOR

The first floor is smaller than the ground floor, due to the nature of the build, the current owners chose to have a larger open lounge than to have more space upstairs. The first floor houses three double bedrooms and an ultra modern family bathroom. This features a contemporary white suite, including freestanding oval bath with outer wall taps and shower attachment, twin Rocco basins with out of the wall mixers and vanity mirrors. The floor and walls are porcelain tiled, back to the wall WC, contemporary stainless steel circular radiator, recess ceiling spotlights and Velux rooflight.

OUTSIDE

One Bedroom Annexe Running parallel with the home is an amazing one bedroom cottage, perfect for teenagers or extended family. The cottage boasts its own living/kitchen area, separate bedroom and shower room, giving them private, personal space, with the main house just a few metres away.

Stable Block This largely unused stable block features two stables, a separate office/tack room and a further storage area, totalling four separate areas in total, the boiler for this section of the property can also be found here. This amazing space has the potential to be converted from stables into further living space, garaging and or connected back into the property with the right imagination and necessary planning consent. A must see for people who need extra outdoor space.

Detached Log Cabin Constructed and installed by the current owners, the detached log cabin was originally considered a man cave! However, this is a versatile and flexible area to the rear of the property, away from the hustle and bustle of family life, so could be used for a variety of purposes, including a home office office, studio, gym, or a salon, as the cabin does have connected power and water available. Adjacent to the cabin is a covered seating area outside.

Gardens A very much outside property, the home has an immaculate flat laid lawn, with seating area and feature well to the front, as well as ample parking.

The tiered landscaped gardens at the rear are simply stunning and have been individually designed, to give each area a specific purpose. There is the immediate patio seating area to the rear of the property, ideal for Al Fresco dining in the warmer months. The next level is an amazing decked seating area with outdoor furniture and outdoor heating, perfect for relaxing or socialising and enjoying a drink in the day or night. Further garden areas have wonderful flowers, shrubs and herbs, all professionally sectioned off providing a neat clean garden. The gardens then stretch up the hill, with large lawned area leading to the grazing area/manège at the top.

Manège/Grazing Land The manège, installed by the previous owners and never used by the current owners, is set at the top flat level of the garden, adjacent to the grazing paddock. Being approx. 40 x 20 metre in size, enclosed and drained, this is again ideal for further use subject to imagination and planning.

LOCAL AREA

Mill Lane has a very much semi-rural feel and the small lane leading to the property gives you a true feeling of countryside living. You are just a few hundred metres away from the A52 into Ashbourne/Derby, approximately 15 minutes drive from each. The home is also ideal for more long-distance commuting, as there is access to the A38/ M1 and beyond. There are also an abundance of highly regarded schools in the area, with most being within 5 miles of the property. LOCATION INFORMATION
