The Smithy Main Road | Hulland Ward | Ashbourne | DE6 3EF the SMITHY The Smithy Main Road | Hulland Ward | Ashbourne | DE6 3EF THE SMITHY This very attractive and well-appointed home is ideally positioned in the centre of Hulland Ward, a popular village that enjoys a glorious rural location just five miles from the historic market town of Ashbourne. As you enter the home, there is a spacious open hallway area with a choice of flooring and underfloor heating which provides access to all the main areas of the property, as well as the staircase to the first floor. The living room to the right of the hallway opens the full length of the home and the successful buyer has the choice of flooring and lighting to finish this spacious room. The open feel in this room is incredible with the modern style of living/kitchen, and the hallway of the first floor overlooking this light and airy reception area. The home is contemporary and ultra modern throughout and the kitchen/dining area really impresses that point with the modern porcelain tiled flooring with underfloor heating running throughout this area . There is a large breakfast kitchen which features quartz worktops, a central island unit and houses a range of modern space-saving storage units, induction hob, integrated electric oven and a range of built in AEG appliances including a double integrated American-style fridge freezer. There is also a well-appointed utility room with further storage units and built in washer and dryer. 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.”* * 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. 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. LOCATION Hulland Ward is a village and civil parish in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire roughly 6 miles west of Belper and a suburb of the well known historical town of Ashbourne. Ashbourne is a market town in the Derbyshire Dales, England. It contains many historical buildings and many independent shops and is famous for its historic annual Shrovetide football match. Due to its proximity to the southern edge of the Peak District, the town is known as the ‘Gateway to the Peak District’, so naturally there are plenty of excellent countryside walks on the doorstep. For commuting, the village provides swift access to the A50 and A38, with fast links to M1, M42 and M6, as well as convenient rail links. Ashbourne has many road links into Yorkshire, Lancashire and surrounding areas of Derbyshire. SERVICES TO THE PROPERTY All mains services connected.

  • Derbyshire Dales Local Plan Settlement Hierarchy
    DERBYSHIRE DALES LOCAL PLAN SETTLEMENT HIERARCHY February 2016 CONTENTS 1 Introduction 2 Policy Context 3 Methodology Scope Economic Attributes Social Attributes 4 Summary Tables and Ranking Appendix A Settlement audits B Table of indicators, scoring methodology and sources of information C Businesses providing employment in assessed settlements D Public transport services in assessed settlements 2 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 The purpose of planning is to help achieve sustainable development. Pursuing sustainable development involves seeking positive improvements in the quality of the built, natural and historic environment and includes a requirement to plan positively to support local development. As such, sustainable development and the creation of sustainable communities lies at the heart of the Government’s National Planning Policy Framework. 1.2 In considering where new development should be located, there is a need to balance the requirements of development against other needs such as sustainability and environmental impacts. Development needs to be accommodated in settlements where the need to travel can be reduced through good access to facilities and services and where it can be accommodated without significant adverse impacts. This paper seeks to assess the relative sustainability of each of the main settlements (excluding the Market Towns) in the Derbyshire Dales (outside the Peak District National Park) and will be used to inform strategy and policy formulation in the Derbyshire Dales Local Plan. From a national perspective, none of the District’s settlements would be regarded as large. However, there are nevertheless significant variations in the land uses and services that are located within them, the relationships between different settlements.

  • White's 1857 Directory of Derbyshire
    391 WIRKSWORTH HUNDRED. ____________ This Hundred is bounded on the north and north-east by the High Peak Hundred, on the east by the Scarsdale Hundred, on the south and south-east, by the Appletree Hundred, and on the west by the river Dove, which separates it from Staffordshire, where at the north-west extremity, the Middle and Upper quarters of the parish of Hartington bound the south-west portion of the High Peak Hundred for ten miles, to the source of the rivers Dove and Goyt. This portion was, by order of Quarter Sessions of 28th June, 1831, annexed to the Bakewell division of Petty Sessions, and is now comprised in the north division of the county, the remainder of the Hundred being in the south division, with the Appletree, Morleston and Litchurch, and Repton and Gresley Hundreds, for which the polling places are Derby, Heanor, Ashbourn, Wirksworth, Melbourn, Belper, and Swadlincote; and those for the north division, Buxton, Alfreton, Bakewell, Castleton, Chapel-en-le-Frith, Chesterfield, Glossop, Tideswell, and Eckington. This Hundred contains 77,659 statute acres of land. The northern side of this Hundred partakes of the same features as the High Peak, though not quite so mountainous, and is often designated the Low Peak. It is noted as being almost the first seat of the cotton manufacture, (See Cromford,) for its warm baths at Matlock, its numerous caverns and picturesque dales—particularly Dovedale,—and the rich mineral field at its northern extremity. The southern side is more an agricultural district of fertile land with a variety of soils, principally a red loam on various substrata, and chiefly occupied in dairy farms, many of which are large.

    FaithinDerbyshire Derby Diocesan Council for Social Responsibility Derby Church House Full Street Derby DE1 3DR Telephone: 01332 388684 email: [email protected] fax: 01332 292969 www.derby.anglican.org Working towards a better Derbyshire; faith based contribution FOREWORD I am delighted to be among those acknowledging the significance of this report. Generally speaking, people of faith are not inclined to blow their own trumpets. This report in its calm and methodical way, simply shows the significant work quietly going on through the buildings and individuals making up our faith communities. Such service to the community is offered out of personal commitment. At the same time, it also deserves acknowledgment and support from those in a position to allocate resources, because grants to faith communities are a reliable and cost effective way of delivering practical help to those who need it. Partnership gets results. This report shows what people of faith are offering. With more partners, more can be offered. David Hawtin Bishop of Repton and Convenor of the Derbyshire Church and Society Forum I am especially pleased that every effort has been taken to make this research fully ecumenical in nature, investigating the work done by churches of so many different denominations: this makes these results of even greater significance to all concerned. I hope that a consequence of churches collaborating in this effort will be an increased partnership across the denominations in the future. Throughout their history Churches have been involved in their communities and this continues today. In the future this involvement is likely to result in increasing partnerships, not only with each other but also with other agencies and community groups.

  • The Livery Collar: Politics and Identity in Fifteenth-Century England
    The Livery Collar: Politics and Identity in Fifteenth-Century England MATTHEW WARD, SA (Hons), MA Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy AUGUST 2013 IMAGING SERVICES NORTH Boston Spa, Wetherby West Yorkshire, lS23 7BQ www.bl.uk ANY MAPS, PAGES, TABLES, FIGURES, GRAPHS OR PHOTOGRAPHS, MISSING FROM THIS DIGITAL COPY, HAVE BEEN EXCLUDED AT THE REQUEST OF THE UNIVERSITY Abstract This study examines the social, cultural and political significance and utility of the livery collar during the fifteenth century, in particular 1450 to 1500, the period associated with the Wars of the Roses in England. References to the item abound in government records, in contemporary chronicles and gentry correspondence, in illuminated manuscripts and, not least, on church monuments. From the fifteenth century the collar was regarded as a potent symbol of royal power and dignity, the artefact associating the recipient with the king. The thesis argues that the collar was a significant aspect of late-medieval visual and material culture, and played a significant function in the construction and articulation of political and other group identities during the period. The thesis seeks to draw out the nuances involved in this process. It explores the not infrequently juxtaposed motives which lay behind the king distributing livery collars, and the motives behind recipients choosing to depict them on their church monuments, and proposes that its interpretation as a symbol of political or dynastic conviction should be re-appraised. After addressing the principal functions and meanings bestowed on the collar, the thesis moves on to examine the item in its various political contexts.
