Seller Insight Enjoying countryside views, this detached 6-bedroom family home with 3 reception rooms and 3 bathrooms, offers the ultimate in contemporary country living. “We were immediately impressed by the combination of a relatively modern house with the peace and quiet of country life,” say the current owners of Packhorse Lodge. “We are surrounded by fields in the middle of beautiful countryside, a quarter of a mile from the nearest neighbour, so it is wonderfully secluded here. The house sits within a 3/4- acre plot and boasts an additional paddock of approximately 1.45 acres, the gardens being laid mainly to lawn and interspersed with mature trees.” Since moving in, the owners have made various improvements to the property. “We have extended the house twice during our time here,” they say, “and the house still offers plenty of potential for further development. The 4-car garage for example has ample space for supplementary accommodation above, should one wish to convert the upper space.” “It has been a great family home to bring up our four children, the freedom and the space, even noisy teenagers playing their music loud couldn’t annoy the neighbours! I used to enjoy the walk along the lane to the local Primary School (15 mins walking, 3 mins in the car) and then when the children reached senior school age they could catch the free bus from the village”. Stanton-by-Bridge is a peaceful and picturesque village close to where the historic Swarketone Causeway crosses the River Trent. The local church of St Michael dates back in part to Norman times, being pleasant to pass by on one of the many walking routes in and around the village. The nearby reservoir at Foremark is a fantastic place for walking and cycling, with fishing, sailing, horse-riding and golf also popular in the area. The Georgian market town of Melbourne is easily reached for its variety of shops, pubs and restaurants, with National Trust property Calke Abbey and the reservoir at Staunton Harold also nearby. Schooling is excellent in the area, Repton Independent School and the renowned Chellaston School being particularly well regarded. Stanton-by-Bridge is well located for access to the A50, and the M1 and M42 motorways, thus within an easy commute of all major Midlands towns and cities. The Nottingham East Midlands airport is conveniently to be found near Castle Donington. Paul states that “I love the open plan lounge. It is the heart of the home, with a large wood burning stove in the fireplace providing a warmth which permeates the whole house”. For Alison the best room is the conservatory “It’s a relaxing room, and I often enjoy sitting in there reading a book, having lunch or enjoying a glass of wine whilst being able to look up and enjoy the lovely views”. “The adjacent woodland is resplendent with wildlife, from roaming deer on the lane to buzzards swooping above. We even had a weasel that lived in the stone wall in the front garden.” “The garden is ideal for summer entertaining, with a large floodlit patio perfect for barbecues on warm evenings. We have a large yard and parking for 8 cars, so can accommodate generous numbers of guests at any one time! The main facade of the house itself is south facing, so the conservatory at the front enjoys the sun and warms up quickly even in winter. It is a great house for entertaining, we like to set food out in the formal dining room, then people can relax in the lounge, chat in the kitchen or spill into the conservatory”. “We shall miss not having any immediate neighbours, and the peace and quiet a luxury such as this provides. It is also pleasant, however, to bump into passing walkers and horse-riders along the bridleway when we are out for our evening stroll.” * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property.

The paddock has post and rail fencing and its own water supply. The home is located on some excellent hacking routes with many bridle paths and countryside around. Packhorse Lodge itself is located on the left, when reaching the top of the field track, overlooking the paddock.

It sets out the special historic and architectural interest that makes the character and appearance of Stanton by Bridge worthy of protection. It also assesses the degree of damage to that special interest and thus opportunities for future enhancement. This document will be used by the Council when making professional judgements on the merits of development applications. The Stanton by Bridge Conservation Area was designated by South Derbyshire District Council on 13th July 1978. Summary Stanton-by-Bridge evolved over a long period. It had a strategic ridge-line location first established around its church and was one of several Anglo-Saxon settlements in South Derbyshire bordering the floodplain of the Trent. Shallows in the River Trent north of Stanton-by-Bridge enabled a bridge to be constructed in medieval times. This with its massive 14th century Causeway (pictured below), constructed across the flood plain, terminated at the foot of the rocky Millstone Grit outcrop on which Stanton sits. Swarkestone Bridge was then the only bridge to cross the Trent for some 10 miles or so, the nearest being at Burton.

These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future. 1 The Natural Choice: Securing the Value of Nature, Defra NCA profiles are working documents which draw on current evidence and (2011; URL: www.official-documents.gov.uk/document/cm80/8082/8082.pdf) 2 knowledge.

Archaeology, history and geology underpin the formaon of our landscapes, and help to create a sense of disncveness and identy for the places in which we live, and the ways that people understand and engage with them. 'Cultural heritage' includes historic buildings and structures, earthwork monuments, buried archaeology, artefacts and historic landscapes. Parcularly rare, or culturally significant sites, buildings and landscapes have been recorded on naonal registers or designated as conservaon areas, to allow for extra protecon in the planning process. The aims of the cultural heritage audit were to produce a catalogue of recorded cultural heritage sites within the study area, drawing together exisng documentaon and recorded informaon. The audit summarises some of the key themes represented in the valley's cultural heritage resource, which will inform interpretaon and spaal strategies for the project area, as well as the development of a landscape conservaon acon plan. This document presents a summary of the main cultural Study area map showing designated cultural heritage sites heritage themes idenfied within the Transforming the Trent Valley landscape, along with informaon on some of the management issues that will allow the valley's historic environment to be sustained into the future.

  • Heritage at Risk East Midlands Em
    APETHORPE HALL Northamptonshire Grade I listed, country house dating from the late 15th century onwards. Following a public enquiry in 2004, the Secretary of State confirmed the Compulsory Purchase Order. English Heritage took possession of the site in September, and urgent works and holding repairs were completed in October 2004. The first phase of repairs is complete and Apethorpe Hall is now for sale. 16 HERITAGE AT RISK EAST MIDLANDS EM 17 HERITAGE AT RISK 2008 Since the 1999 baseline register, the total number of Grade I and II* buildings and structural monuments at risk on the East Midlands register has fallen from 161 to 147. In the past year, however, there has been a significant net increase in the number of entries on the regional register. Ten buildings at risk have been added, three of which are in the highest priority category for action; at immediate risk of loss and have no solution agreed.With two exceptions, no solution is yet in place for any of the new entries. Five buildings on last year’s regional register have also been upgraded in their level of risk.This year, for the first time, the East Midlands register includes one registered battlefield at risk. Only three buildings at risk have been removed from the register, although ten have seen an improvement in condition.The first phase of repairs to the Grade I listed Apethorpe Hall, Northamptonshire is now complete and the estate has been offered for sale. Some of the Region’s entries are among the most intractable cases on the register.
