Set back on a premium, tree‑lined street in Ashbourne, this Tudor‑Revival detached home sits on roughly half an acre of mature gardens. The house keeps strong period character—open fireplaces, bay windows and a conservatory—while providing a comfortable, spacious layout across about 1,721 sq ft suitable for family living. A horseshoe gravel drive and usable detached garage give generous off‑street parking.
A major value driver is the planning permission already granted (Derbyshire Dales ref: 19/00700/FUL) for a substantial extension, creating scope for a true grand‑design remodel. The plot is deceptive and easily maintained, divided lawns and well‑stocked borders create private outdoor rooms; a powered greenhouse and potting shed are included. The property is within walking distance of Ashbourne town centre and has a safe route to Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar School.
Buyers should note practical limitations: the fitted kitchen and some internal fittings are dated and present clear renovation potential; broadband speeds in the area are slow. The EPC is rated D and council tax is in an expensive band (Band F). There is a covenant preventing the garden plot being split for development, which limits subdivision options but preserves the plot’s character.
This home will suit families wanting space, character and scope for alteration, or purchasers looking for a sympathetic refurbishment project with planning already in place. The location, plot size and planning consent offer significant upside for anyone planning a sensitive extension or comprehensive modernization.
