Fallgate is a tranquil and highly attractive rural hamlet set in the scenic Amber Valley, nestled along the River Amber just a mile south of the historic village of Ashover. Characterised by its fine stone-built period cottages, quiet lane, and surrounding farmland, the settlement offers a peaceful, "away-from-it-all" retreat while benefiting directly from its immediate proximity to one of Derbyshire’s most desirable communities. Residents enjoy the distinct advantage of being within a short walk or minute’s drive of Ashover’s exceptional day-to-day amenities, including traditional public houses, a village shop and post office, medical centre, active village hall, and the highly regarded Ashover Primary School – allowing residents to enjoy the best of both worlds: a quieter, more private hamlet setting paired with effortless access to village life.

Positioned just off the A632, Fallgate combines its quiet streamside setting with outstanding practical links for commuters and lifestyle buyers. The hamlet is ideally placed for accessing nearby commercial hubs and market towns, sitting just 4.5 miles from Matlock, 6.5 miles from Chesterfield, and 7 miles from Bakewell.

Surrounded by a rich network of public footpaths connecting directly into the surrounding valley and Peak District borders, Fallgate presents an opportunity to enjoy idyllic countryside living with rich local amenities right on the doorstep.

RECEPTION HALLWAY
The main entrance is through a half-glazed stable door painted in a bold yellow, with the surrounding joinery and hardwood windows finished in a soft cream and complemented by brass fittings.

Steps rise through a limestone rockery to a broad flagged stone patio running along the front of the house and enjoying a southerly aspect. Beyond lies a generous lawn with established planting and views towards the surrounding hills. 

The garden continues beyond a native hedgerow to a gently sloping lower area planted with young fruit trees, while steps lead to a further upper lawn with a stumpery and established borders. A gravelled area with raised beds provides space for growing vegetables.

Woodland along one boundary gives the garden a private, rural feel while still being within easy reach of neighbouring homes and the village.

A timber garden shed is currently in place, with planning consent for a larger replacement workshop. Separate planning consent also exists to extend the home office/studio and construct an additional detached studio.
