Description
IMPOSING COUNTRY HOUSE IN AN EXCEPTIONAL VALLEY SETTING
An imposing Victorian property with exceptional countryside views, set within approximately 9 acres of land, including 7.34 acres of mature natural woodland, on the edge of the highly regarded village of Ashover.
Hockley House occupies a commanding position with unrivalled panoramic views of the Amber Valley and the hills beyond. It is located within easy reach of the market towns of Matlock and Chesterfield and is on the doorstep of the Peak District National Park.
With a footprint of 4,679 sq. ft. (437.7 sq. m.), including cellar and double garage, the house offers generous room proportions for the main living accommodation set over three floors.
The property has remained in the same family ownership for more than 60 years and, whilst requiring refurbishment, the property is not listed and so it provides an exceptional blank canvas for someone seeking tore-imagine and reconfigure this imposing family home.
Complementing the main house is a detached 1½ storey coach house, 1,159 sq. ft. (107.6 sq. m.) benefitting from existing water and electricity feeds to the property, which could be converted further to provide ancillary accommodation or a separate dwelling, subject to the necessary permissions.
The grounds, together with the coach house, may lend themselves to a variety of use, including equestrian, subject to any necessary consents.
Situation - Ashover is one of the most sought after villages in Derbyshire and is well known for its strong community. The village offers a range of amenities including a shop, cafe, butcher, Post Office, public houses, medical centre, primary school and church.
Despite its rural location the property remains well connected to the nearby market towns of Matlock and Chesterfield, with the latter providing a main line railway station, offering direct services to London and other major cities and easy access to the M1 Motorway.
Development Potential & Overage - Aside from developing the existing coach house, given the size of the plot, there may also be longer term potential for additional development within the grounds, although formal enquiries should be made to the local planning authority.
Any future development resulting in the creation of additional dwellings will be subject of an overage agreement. Further details are available from the selling agents.
