The light filled lounge is a favourite room, where the space, beams, exposed brick chimney breast and wood burner, create the environment for family downtime. The windows frame the most amazing sunsets: and to sit quietly with a glass of wine watching the sun go down is a gentle way to unwind at the end of the working day.�

Seller Insight Whitehouse is an attractive detached home, which backs onto the beautiful, rolling Derbyshire countryside and is located on the edge of sought after Dalbury Lees village. It enjoys a fabulous location. The present owner, Brian, explains that nine years ago the family were searching for a property which had the facility for stabling and land for horses. Whitehouse ticked all the boxes as the house was an excellent family home, with two acres of paddock and the opportunity to redevelop the former stabling with the addition of three Harlow stables. Dalbury Lees is a friendly, community minded village, with its clubs and societies; whilst the easily accessed A38 and M1 make the village the perfect commuter base. The bustling market town of Ashbourne is approximately five miles away and Derby a thirty minute drive. The surrounding countryside forms the green and stunning gateway to the Peak District, and is a rambler’s paradise. Brian explains that Whitehouse is an older property which has been modernised to the highest of standards by a previous owner, whilst he added the conservatory. It is a house of great charm and comfort, where the magnificent views across the landscape provide a constant sense of tranquillity and enchantment. The light filled lounge is a favourite room, where the space, beams, exposed brick chimney breast and wood burner, create the environment for family downtime. The windows frame the most amazing sunsets: and to sit quietly with a glass of wine watching the sun go down is a gentle way to unwind at the end of the working day. The most sociable zone is the kitchen and dining area which runs into the conservatory, and is ideal for daily family living and entertaining. It is quite simply an area with a welcoming and positive ambience, whilst the floor to ceiling glass walls of the conservatory pull the garden into the house and allow you to look over the paddock. There is room for everyone to have a space of their own and if some solitude is needed, the ‘The Quiet Room,’ provides a soothing sanctuary. The garden is a soft blending of shrubbery and lawn that leads into the paddock. It has been a convenient pleasure to have the paddock integral with the garden and the stables. The sense of being miles from anywhere in the midst of the most glorious countryside is a great wow factor. It is a private oasis where you can only delight in your surroundings. Brian is a reluctant mover but is relocating. He knows that he is going to miss every aspect of life at the Whitehouse, the village and the Derbyshire landscape, but takes away many happy memories.
