Ashbourne | Derbyshire | DE6 4NG CRANBORNE Cranborne Kirk Langley | Ashbourne | Derbyshire | DE6 4NG CRANBORNE A sumptuously appointed, truly versatile and spacious family home complete with the ambience of open plan living; an interior defined by contemporary elegance, and all highlighted with fine fittings throughout. Located in one of Derbyshire’s most sought-after villages, this charmingly presented home enjoys a private setting, just moments away from stunning rolling countryside. This home is perfectly positioned within commutable distance of two of the most reputable secondary schools, namely Ecclesbourne and Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar, and close to all amenities the historic market town of Ashbourne and the city of Derby have to offer. INTRODUCTION Cranborne is a lovely example of a family home with flexible accommodation, enviably and peacefully overlooking the pretty 12th century village church. The house is accessed via a private driveway leading to just three properties. Nestled in its own grounds, the current owners have sympathetically and meticulously modernised the property into a timeless and elegant home. The room sizes are excellent, boasting five bedrooms, two of which offer beautifully appointed en-suites. The beauty of this home is further enhanced by four spacious reception areas, flowing seamlessly around the central open family dining area, which includes a period style conservatory, the total accommodation of which extends to over 2350 sq. ft. Externally, there is an extensive driveway with off road parking for multiple vehicles, with the addition of a detached garage in the grounds. The privacy of the surroundings allows for a large fore garden to be enjoyed which wraps around the property to the rear lawn and decking with outside dining area, perfect for versatile outdoor living. The property is beautifully positioned to make the most of village life, rural and secluded yet in a fabulous location for commuting with easy access to the local town of Ashbourne as well as the city of Derby. All of which provides the perfect setting for contemporary living. GROUND FLOOR This home has a lovely welcoming feel as soon as you enter the double entrance doors into the quarry tiled porch located at the side of the property. This leads through into a spacious hall. The quality and attention to detail are immediately evident showcasing seamless wooden floors and decorative coving. Here there is access to a beautifully fitted cloakroom and useful study, perfectly positioned in a quiet area towards the rear of the property away from the communal family reception areas. The hall gives access to the staircase rising to the first floor and to the front of the property, the lounge. This a lovely room, tranquil, light and airy with a period stone fireplace with raised marble hearth, recessed spot lighting and decorative coving to the ceiling. To the left of the hall is the fabulous dining / family room; a real asset to the property. This truly is the heart of this home, perfect for entertaining large gatherings or simply ideal for modern open plan family living. The seamless wooden floors continue creating a feeling of great space. This room can be further extended by opening the two sets of double doors, one of which leads to the drawing room at the front of the property, the other to the rear conservatory. Both rooms have French doors opening to the outside creating versatile living whatever the season. The conservatory has been cleverly thought through in order to maximise the rear garden view all year round with the addition of bespoke blinds to all windows, thereby controlling the light coming into the room. Located off the family room is the stunning bespoke shaker style kitchen complete with integrated high quality Neff appliances, Maytag fridge freezer and granite worktops and upstands. The quality is simply beautiful. To the far end of the kitchen there is a useful utility / laundry room with an abundance of practical storage and an outside door giving access to the rear of the property. SELLER INSIGHT I can still recall the sense of spaciousness and light when we first walked through the front door. My son, who was 8 years old at the time, said that he could really imagine himself living here and that just confirmed my feeling that this was the house for us. The views over the church and trees are just beautiful and I never tire of them even after 15 years,” says the current owner. “We were moving up from London in search of a lifestyle change and we found it here surrounded by nature. We can just step out of our front door and walk in the fields and woods or play cricket, football or shoot hoops in the playing field behind the church. The children’s playground is beautifully maintained, and the community orchard is just a little further down the road where we can sit in peace and tranquility.” “The village is really quite special. The drama club is always on the lookout for new members and there’s also a local book club and various events taking place at the village hall. There’s plenty to be involved with but there’s no pressure and you’re always assured of a warm welcome.” “We have a great choice of classy pubs and restaurants in the surrounding area and our village gastropub will be reopening after refurbishment in the new year. We’re just a 15-minute drive away from the Peak District and Carsington Water where my children always enjoyed the water sports activities in the summer months.” “Cranborne is the most fantastic house for parties. We’ll leave with fond memories of a 50th birthday celebration and my daughters Midsummer Night’s Dream 18th birthday party where we enjoyed drinks on the lawn and a meal for 25 of her guests in the dining room.” “The garden is not overlooked which is ideal for relaxing and eating out on the patio area, especially on a summer evening. It’s been landscaped with some interesting architectural features and mature trees.” “We’ve made many enhancements during our time here, including the addition of the bespoke kitchen and recent refurbishment of all the bathrooms and most of the house really, and as such, it’s impossible to choose just one favourite room. Depending on my mood I can find myself relaxing in the comfortable sitting room, reading a book in the tranquil drawing room or looking out over the garden in the conservatory on a summer afternoon,” concludes the current owner.* * 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. FIRST FLOOR The central wooden staircase with matching balustrade rises to a semi-galleried landing leading to five beautifully appointed bedrooms and family bathroom. The bathroom has been recently refurbished and oozes contemporary luxury. Focal points being the free-standing roll top bath and Corian vanity unit. The principal bedroom suite is stunning and benefits from a fitted dressing area and spacious en-suite bathroom complete with marble tiled floor, French granite and period fittings. The upstairs also benefits from a another double bedroom with modern en- suite shower room, perfect for guest accommodation if needed. To the outside, Cranborne is private and secluded and largely hidden from view from its two neighbours, yet just a moment away from all that the village has to offer. The house is set back with an extensive driveway leading to a detached single garage to the front. There is a sizeable fore garden mainly laid to lawn and edged with pretty well-established borders stocked with shrubs, specimen trees and plants. The garden wraps around the side of the property to the rear garden. This has been beautifully landscaped creating idyllic outdoor areas allowing for both entertaining and relaxing, whether it be just sitting under the gazebo or alfresco dining on the decking. LOCAL AREA The home lies in a village location but with the utmost privacy. The village itself is mainly made up of two lanes, namely Moor Lane and Church Lane which are fortunate to lie just beyond the well-known Meynell Langley Estate where the Meynell family home commands one of the most scenic views in the country. The feeling here is rural and unspoilt and the village is known for its thriving community spirit. This charming village includes a conservation area, a pretty mix of Georgian homes and cottages, a primary school, playing fields just moments away, cricket ground, and a Grade II listed village hall where the community frequently comes together. There is no shortage of places to eat locally with well-known gastro pubs such as The Horseshoes, The Bluebell and the renowned The Cow just moments away. For wine lovers, the village is home to the Worth Brothers, fine wine merchants who stock award winning wines and help bring the community together with their private events, cookery courses and BBQs in the garden. There is an array of excellent local schools, namely a village primary school and a two larger well reputed secondary schools. There are also notable independent establishments just a short drive away. The recreational activities surrounding the area are vast ranging from sporting activities such as sailing and windsurfing at the nearby Carsington Water Reservoir, to cycling on the Tissington Trail as well as walking the many countryside routes in places such as Dovedale and Thorpe Cloud. The area is a magnet for hikers owing to the stunning local landscape of the nearby Peak District National Park where the places to visit are endless.

To do this, effectually a register ought to be complete in all its parts, from the first clay the school opened its doors ; and it is evident that such a work could only be the result of a continuous purpose, coeval with the school itself. Unfortunately that task has been deferred from century to century, and has become harder in proportion to its long post- ponement. But is this a. reason why it should not at length be attempted? As the usefulness, or, to speak more correctly, the necessity of such an undertaking has in these latter times become more and more apparent at Derby School, and as procrastination only makes matters worse, the editor decided some years ago to face the difficulty and see what could be done.

Kirk Langley is within The Needwood and South Derbyshire Claylands area and is characterised as settled farmland. This is described as follows1: “An undulating to gently rolling, dairy farming landscape with hedgerow trees, dense watercourse trees and occasional small woodlands. A well- settled landscape of red brick farmsteads and cottages along winding country lanes” The survey referenced the study of Areas of Multiple Environmental sensitivity (AMES) to identify those areas of landscape within the county considered to be most sensitive in relation to landscape character, biodiversity and the historic environment.

    Kirk Langley Neighbourhood Development Plan 2019-2032 © Kirk Langley Parish Council 2019 Kirk Langley Neighbourhood Plan 2019 – 2032 Reg 14 Consultation Page 1 of 47 Kirk Langley Neighbourhood Development Plan 2019-2032 © Kirk Langley Parish Council 2019 Intentionally left Blank Page 2 of 47 Kirk Langley Neighbourhood Development Plan 2019-2032 © Kirk Langley Parish Council 2019 Foreword This is the draft version of the Kirk Langley Neighbourhood Plan (“KLNP”). We are at the pre-submission stage and therefore required to undertake a six-week period of consultation on the plan before it goes to the Local Authority for formal examination. Assuming we survive that process largely intact, the plan will go to a formal referendum where you will have the final say. The KLNP was launched in January 2017, following consultation by the Parish Council. As a first step The Committee was formed which, with the support of the Parish Council and several professional advisors, undertook the detailed research and carried out the processes required to support the policies contained within the plan. The Committee has consulted and listened to the community throughout the process with the well-being, sustainability and long-term preservation of our rural community as a focus. Every effort has been made to ensure that the policies in this document reflect the views of the majority of residents, wherever those views can validly be taken into account. We have involved experts to make sure our reasoning is sound and based not only on good evidence but also on sound planning principles. We have also worked with the planning department at Amber Valley.

  • AMES); (Landscape, Ecology and the Historic Environment)
    A Methodology to Identify Areas of Multiple Environmental Sensitivity (AMES); (landscape, ecology and the historic environment) 1.0 Background and Introduction In order to respond to a range of requests from various bodies and organisations, Derbyshire County Council’s Conservation and Design Section has developed a methodology for reviewing known environmental data within a landscape spatial framework. This work has helped to inform the targeting of Environmental Stewardship Higher Level Scheme (HLS) funding, the identification of key strategic Green Infrastructure assets, and the potential for housing growth across the county but particularly within the Derby and Nottingham Housing Market Areas (HMA). This approach was developed because of a need to improve the ability to manage and deliver the most appropriate environmental objectives in those geographic areas where environmental outcomes across all disciplines (landscape, ecology and the historic environment) are likely to be greatest as part of a sustainable approach. It is also important in helping to underpin specific policies in the National Planning Policy Framework such as paragraphs: 110. In preparing plans to meet development needs, the aim should be to minimise pollution and other adverse effects on the local and natural environment. Plans should allocate land with the least environmental or amenity value, where consistent with other policies in this Framework. 113. Local planning authorities should set criteria based policies against which proposals for any development on or affecting protected wildlife or geodiversity sites or landscape areas will be judged. … The overall aims of this project were: x To adopt an holistic approach to identify those areas of landscape of ‘multiple environmental sensitivity’ relating to ecology, the historic environment, and visual unity.
