The Smithy Main Road | Ward | Ashbourne | DE6 3EF THE SMITHY

Seller Insight

The house is one of two properties that were built within the grounds of the old smithy, hence the name,” says the developer, “and they were completed just a few months ago, so are brand new. The brief we set ourselves was to build houses of exceptional quality, with beautiful interior design and a layout that would be very conducive to modern living, and that’s exactly what we’ve achieved.”

“The layout of the house centres around a very spacious, open-plan kitchen, dining and living space that has been beautifully fitted out with contemporary units, beautiful quartz worktops and high-end appliances. We’ve installed under-floor heating throughout the ground floor and Revive radiators on the first floor, which are a stylish alternative to the standard modern radiator, and the whole of the interior has been painted with Farrow & Ball Ammonite paint. Upstairs is the large en-suite master bedroom that flows out onto an internal balcony overlooking the kitchen – which could be a lovely little office space – and the rest of the bedrooms are located on the ground floor, creating a nice sense of separation.”

The impressive main living area is flooded with natural light from two sets of glazed bi-folding doors, which when pushed back seamlessly connect the living space with the very private, enclosed garden beyond. “We wanted the garden to essentially be used as an extension of the house, so when the doors are pushed back, almost the entire corner section of the open-plan kitchen opens up to a huge patio terrace. The rest of the garden is laid to lawn, and we’ve deliberately left it as a bit of a blank canvass so that the new owners can really put their stamp on it.”

“The standout room in the house is definitely the open-plan kitchen, dining and living space; it’s what everyone wants these days,” says the developer. “I can see it being the real heart of the home and a fantastic space to entertain in.”

“The location offers something for everyone,” says the developer. “Hulland Ward is a lovely little village; Ashbourne, which has a superb selection of shops and amenities, is under ten minutes away by car and it’s possible to be in Derby in around twenty minutes. It’s a very convenient location, but at the same time, whoever comes to live here will have easy access to some of the most spectacular countryside. The Peak District, the Dales… it’s all just a stone’s throw away.”

“One of the real benefits of this house is the fact that everything from the dishwasher to the built-in microwave, even the carpets are all fitted as standard,” says the developer, “so the new owners can simply move in without having to worry about a thing.”

“It’s the sheer quality of both the design and build of this house that I’d say sets it apart from the rest,” says the developer. “It’s a very practical home, but at the same time incredibly stylish and I’ve no doubt its new owners will be extremely happy here.”*

The home also has the benefit of three ground floor bedrooms (one with ensuite facilities) giving it the feel of a bungalow, yet having two floors. Further to this, a well appointed four piece bathroom is also located on the ground floor. On the first floor the overall master bedroom is simply breathtaking in size, accompanied by a full size ensuite shower room. Ample light enters this room through the Velux-style skylights.

OUTSIDE The home is sat within a fantastic semi-rural location nestled on the main road with the benefit of a private drive, which provides plentiful parking to the front of the home. This then leads to the double garage, which has a door to the side and into the garden. There is a lawned garden to the rear with a patio area which is enclosed, fenced and private.
