Toadmoor Lane, Ambergate, Belper, DE56

£375,000 - £385,000 (Guide price) Built in stone, full of character and shaped by more than 175 years of history, this charming three-bedroom home sits comfortably within its Derbyshire surroundings.

Dating back to around 1850, the house has all the warmth you would hope to find in a home of this age, with characterful spaces arranged across three storeys and a layout that gives each floor its own purpose.

Character without compromise, countryside on the doorstep and 1,280 sq ft arranged across three beautifully useful floors, a proper Derbyshire home with a story already behind it, and plenty still to come.

The Accommodation - Extending to approximately 1,280 sq ft, the main living accommodation occupies the ground floor. Two separate reception rooms provide plenty of flexibility for everyday life — spaces to retreat, entertain or gather around the table, while the kitchen completes this sociable level of the house.

Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms sit alongside the family bathroom, complete with both a bath and shower, creating a surprisingly generous upper floor.

The lower ground floor adds another dimension to the home. An integral garage provides useful storage and secure parking, while a separate utility space keeps the practicalities of day-to-day life away from the main living accommodation.

Outside - Outside, a private patio garden sits to the rear, an easy, intimate space for morning coffee, summer evenings and outdoor dining, while additional off-road parking can be found to the side of the house.

And then there’s the setting.

Positioned on Toadmoor Lane in Ambergate, the house is surrounded by the landscape that makes this part of Derbyshire so special. Countryside, woodland and walks are never far away, yet the village remains well connected for Belper, Matlock and the wider region.

Why Ambergate? - Ambergate is a well-connected and scenic village on the edge of Belper, perfectly positioned where the River Derwent meets the River Amber, and surrounded by rolling countryside and woodland. Known for its excellent transport links, the village benefits from its own railway station with direct connections to Derby, Nottingham and Lincoln, as well as easy access to the A6—making it ideal for commuters seeking a more rural setting without sacrificing convenience. Belper is also well known for its highly regarded, award winning high street.

The area is particularly popular for its gateway position to the Peak District, offering immediate access to a wealth of walking routes, cycling trails and open countryside. Nearby Belper, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, provides a vibrant mix of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and highly regarded schools, adding to the area’s overall appeal.

Ambergate itself retains a quiet, semi-rural charm, with a strong sense of community and a selection of local amenities, while benefiting from its proximity to larger towns and cities. For buyers seeking a balance of countryside living, connectivity, and lifestyle, it remains one of the most desirable locations within the Derwent Valley.

Dales & Peaks Forwardmove Please Read - Dales & Peaks is marketing this Property with the benefit of ForwardMove. Dales & Peaks has introduced ForwardMove to help speed up the sales process, minimise sale fall-throughs and give more certainty to both the Seller and the Buyer.

Purchasers will benefit from the Buyer Information Pack (BIP), which we have created with our legal partners, to give buyers more information before they agree to purchase.

The pack includes:

Fixtures and contents form (TA10)
Official Copy of the Register (OC1)
Title Plan (OC2)
Local Search*
Water and Drainage Search*
Coal and Mining Search*
Homescreen / Environmental Search*

(Dales & Peaks has ordered the local, drainage, coal and homescreen / environmental searches; we will add these to the BIP as they become available)


ForwardMove allows the sale process to be completed significantly quicker than a ‘normal sale’. This is because the legal work, usually done in the first four to eight weeks after the sale is agreed, has already been completed. The searches, which can take up to five weeks, are ordered on the day the listing goes live and are transferable to the successful Buyer as part of their legal due diligence.

Additionally, and on behalf of the Seller, Dales & Peaks requests that the successful Buyer enters into a Reservation Agreement and pays the Reservation Agreement Fee of £595 (including VAT). This includes payment for the Buyer Information Pack and all the searches (which a buyer typically purchases separately after the sale is agreed).

Upon receipt of the signed Reservation Agreement, payment of the Reservation Agreement Fee, completion of ID and AML checks and the issuing of the Memorandum of Sale, the Seller will agree to take the Property off the market and market it as Sold Subject To Contract (SSTC).

During the Reservation Agreement period, the Seller will reject all offers and not enter into another agreement with any other buyer. The reservation period is agreed upon at the time of sale but is usually between 60 and 120 days.

The Reservation Fee is non-refundable except where the Seller withdraws from the sale. A copy of the Reservation Agreement is available on request, and Dales & Peaks advises potential buyers to seek legal advice before entering into the Reservation Agreement.

If you have any questions about the process or want to know how selling or buying with Dales & Peaks ForwardMove could benefit you, please speak to a member of the Dales & Peaks team.
