The Old Rectory Cubley, Ashbourne, Derbyshire

Old_8pl.indd 3 16/10/2014 13:29 DESCRIPTION The Old Rectory was originally constructed in the mid eighteenth century with Regency additions in the early part of the nineteenth century. It is of brick construction under a slate roof and sits centrally within its plot. The house, set in its own grounds, is approached down a driveway running alongside its own woodland before passing the side and front gardens, in particular the large Cedar tree and then leading to an area of gravelled off road parking and a double garage. Ground floor: The front door opens into a large, stone flagged hallway with stairs to the first floor and access to the principal rooms. The drawing room is dual aspect with a wide south facing bay window with the central portion forming a door onto the garden, wood parquet floor and attractive Adam style carved wood fire surround with working grate. The dining room looks over the front garden and has a marble fire surround with working grate. The sitting room has a stone fire surround with working grate and opens onto the rear patio. An inner stone flagged hallway within the wing of the main house has a good study off it, a cloakroom and a side door through a porch to the parking area. Also off the inner hall is a large utility room, pantry, the cellars, the kitchen, a rear staircase and a further hallway with a back door. The large kitchen is of good proportions and has twin Belfast sinks, an electric oven and hob and a four oven oil fired AGA, a pair of French doors open onto the rear patio. First floor: The staircase rises to the first floor landing giving access to a rear double bedroom and two interconnecting double bedrooms to the front of the house, one of which has an en suite bathroom. There is a further double bedroom with access to the family bathroom which also has a doorway back into the inner landing. A few stairs up from the main landing leads to an upper landing/sitting area, enjoying views over open countryside, and into the master bedroom suite which comprises a lobby with a walk in closet, a large bathroom and a bedroom with an attractive bay window overlooking the garden and Cedar tree. The inner landing in the wing has staircases to both the ground and second floors; there is a good double bedroom and two further double bedrooms both with fitted cupboards. Second Floor: This floor basically comprises a self contained flat within the house with a large shower/dressing room, a lobby, a sitting room with beamed ceiling and a good double bedroom. Outside: The house sits well within the middle of its mature gardens which are mainly laid to lawn with an array of shrubs, plants and trees including the aforementioned spectacular Cedar tree. To the rear of the house is a good sized terrace with steps up to a further area of garden, passing a large rhododendron bush, which again is laid to lawn with two large, well stocked borders and up behind this garden is the hard tennis court. To the rear of the property an acre and a half of woodland provides an annual carpet of snow drops, daffodils and bluebells.

Old_8pl.indd 4 16/10/2014 13:29 SITUATION The Old Rectory, almost hidden by trees, is tucked away behind St Andrew’s Church on the edge of the village of Cubley which is mentioned in the Domesday Book as being part of the lands of Henry de Ferrers. The village is a short drive from the market town of Ashbourne which has excellent local amenities for shopping, leisure and restaurant facilities. Cubley is close to Dovedale and Carsington Water and also on the edge of the Peak District with its extensive outdoor and family pursuits including walking, climbing, fishing and cycling amongst others. Derbyshire also has a wealth of historic houses and attractions including Chatsworth, Haddon Hall, Sudbury Hall and Kedleston Hall. The Derwent Valley World Heritage site, historic Matlock Bath and the Heights of Abraham are in easy reach, as are Buxton with its Opera House and Derby and Nottingham with their theatres. The area has numerous pubs many of which are also well regarded restaurants. Both the A50 and A38 are nearby giving swift access to East Midlands Airport and into Derby, Nottingham and Birmingham as well as to the M1 and M6 and therefore offering good communication with the rest of the country.
