Vendor Interview

“Having looked high and low over the whole of Derbyshire, when we came across 26 Lodge Hill it was love at first sight, ” say the current owners of this semi-rural four-bedroom detached property, nestled within nearly an acre of land. “We were looking for a home with good connections, but with all the peace and quiet of the countryside, and were immediately enamoured with the style of Lodge Hill, too, with its traditional 1920s style aesthetic.”

Since moving in, the owners have made various improvements to the property. “We have significantly extended the house itself, ” they say, “more than doubling its size. While from the front the house looks unchanged, retaining its original charming façade, we have built an oak framed addition to the rear with floor to ceiling glass, mirroring the shape of the original footprint. Now, it feels like a house with two complementary identities: A traditional presentation to the street, and a modern, open outlook to the rear.”

“Looking out over open countryside to the rear, all of the living space faces the back of the house, ” the owners continue, “making the most of the views with huge windows which provide a connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces. The living accommodation centres around the kitchen/living area, while double width corridors enable sociable circulation and a great feeling of space. The property is thus ideal for everyday family life and entertaining alike, as we can cook, relax and chat to guests all in the same space, creating an atmosphere of togetherness within our home.”

The generous grounds also have much to offer, providing an extension of the indoor living space. “Connected by large windows and doors from the house itself, the l-shaped garden is a delight, ” say the owners. “We also have an orchard bearing fruit all through the season, providing us with early and late apples from Spring until Autumn.”

The local area has much to offer, too. “Situated equidistant from the villages of Tutbury and Rolleston-on-Dove, the property is within easy reach of plenty of nice pubs and places to eat, ” say the owners, “as well as local cricket pitches. Supermarkets are less than 10 minutes away by car, while the A50 provides easy access to road networks and connections. The A38 to Birmingham, Derby and Nottingham is close by, too.”

“The extension was built over an old well, so we commissioned a bespoke metal and glass structure in the floor of the new part of the house, with lighting down the well to create a unique and beautiful feature which retains the history of the site.”

“The ground floor, open plan kitchen and lounge area is a favourite space, beautifully connected by the floor to ceiling windows to the garden and countryside beyond. We love being able to cook and relax in the same space, enjoying the feeling of being outside with the doors kept open in the summertime.”

“We love being able to simply walk through Fiddlers Lane bridle path to Rolleston-on-Dove, enjoying the beautiful surroundings as we walk into the village.”

“The previous owner of the property was a joiner, so there is a large workshop in which I myself have also spent many happy hours on carpentry projects. I will also miss spending time in the sensational garden, taking in the countryside views.”

Outside

The home is sat within a fantastic semi-rural location nestled behind a gated entrance which provides plentiful parking to the front and side of the home. There is a garage, and this is open to a large and spacious workshop area, big enough to be a home office. To the rear of the home there is a lovely family friendly garden which offers lots of privacy and views over the countryside. There is a large lawned garden leading to a decked terrace, beyond which is a coppice area. The overall plot measures at just under 1 acre.

Location

Tutbury Village is one of Staffordshire’s finest villages, located on the edge of the county bordering South Derbyshire and to the south of the River Dove. The home occupies a private position on the edge of the village but is within walking distance of the centre, wherein there is a lovely village atmosphere with an excellent range of amenities including public houses and restaurants, local shops, boutique shopping parades, post office, bank and medical/dental practices.

The village is famous for Tutbury Castle, which was a Norman stronghold, and the ruins are a popular spot to visit. The village has a most interesting mix of period homes. For commuting, the village provides swift access to the A50 and A38, with fast links to M1, M42 and M6. Railway links can be found with a village train station being on the Crewe to Derby Line giving access to the High-Speed network. There are good rail links from Lichfield Trent Valley (to London within 70 minutes on the Virgin Trains) and East Midlands Parkway. There is also ease of access to both East Midlands & Birmingham airport with 30-40 minutes’ drive from the house. Schools in the proximity include Repton (8 miles) and Foremarke Hall, Abbotts Bromley & Derby High for girls and Derby Grammar for boys.
