WITHIN THIS EDITION...
Welcome To the spring edition of the Fine & Country Derbyshire & Staffordshire Collection magazine.
04 Properties The finest homes available in Derbyshire & Staffordshire
We hope you find the blend of lifestyle articles and available homes of interest. We take pride in producing the ‘Collection’ magazine and this edition is released at an interesting time, as we slowly emerge from the third national lockdown. In light of the pandemic, we have most certainly seen a recent change in the behaviour of house buyers and the Derbyshire area is proving particularly popular, with more people looking to move out of cities and into more rural locations. It is becoming apparent that the work from home trend is likely here to stay and so, the requirement for a suitable home office has become an essential requirement in the search for a property. We are seeing record sales in the upper quartile of the property market and are most definitely experiencing a seller’s market, with nearly 60% of homes across the county, currently recorded as under offer or sold. Whilst demand remains high, we also see an understandable caution from some sellers when it comes to placing their home on the market. However, now could be an ideal time to sell your home, as we predict Spring 2021 will be a very busy time for property transactions to take place. With the recent increase in demand, we have welcomed a new agent to the Derbyshire team, Jolene Fellows (see her profile on page 46). Jolene will be working alongside Greg Perrins and will specialise in areas such as Belper, Duffield, Allestree and villages to the north of Derby city centre.

BENTLEY BENTAYGA HYBRID COLLECTION MAGAZINE
City & Beyond
Bentley is taking the next step on its journey to a sustainable future with the launch of the new Bentayga Hybrid – the only electrified true-luxury SUV in the world, and a model that Bentley predicts will become the best-selling member of the new Bentayga family.

ollowing the recent launches of the new Bentayga V8 and Bentayga Speed, the new Bentayga Hybrid becomes the third model in the most successful luxury SUV portfolio the segment has ever seen.
The new exterior and interior design emphasises Bentley design DNA across the entire model range, giving Bentley the freshest and most modern product family of any luxury car company. The new Bentayga Hybrid offers the ultimate in electric luxury, with smooth and silent progress through urban environments, whilst having the grand touring capability to escape the city and explore further. Customers of the Bentayga Hybrid can escape the noise of the city through the refined and acoustically-isolated serenity of the cabin without engine interference, using up to 31 miles of electric-only range (NEDC), before physically leaving the city behind with the comfort of a total combined range of 536 miles (NEDC). Delivering the same level of comfort and luxury, yet with a quieter and more refined driving experience, the Bentayga Hybrid brings a selection of new technologies and connected car services, positioning the new product as the most technically advanced Bentayga to date. Introducing the very latest on-board technology and an even more cosseting cabin, the new Bentayga is significantly revised both inside and out from the previous generation. Subtle exterior badging complements the new Bentayga’s exterior design now prevalent across the entire model range, giving Bentley the
BENTLEY BENTAYGA HYBRID COLLECTION MAGAZINE
freshest and most modern product family of any luxury car company. Chairman and Chief Executive of Bentley Motors, Adrian Hallmark, comments: “The Bentayga Hybrid is the next step on our journey to becoming the world’s leading sustainable luxury mobility company. Bentley will transform from a 100-year-old luxury car company to a new, sustainable, wholly ethical role model for luxury, and the Bentayga Hybrid is the first model to pioneer our company’s recently announced Beyond100 strategy.”

Bentley’s research shows over 90 per cent of customers use their firstgeneration Bentayga Hybrid on a daily basis or several times a week, and nearly 100 per cent of customers use EV mode, with half of them consistently undertaking journeys of less than 30 miles. During previous retailer training, 78 per cent zero emissions journeys were achieved regularly over a 500 mile activity. In a more urban environment, one of Bentley’s development drivers achieved 67 per cent zero emissions over 672 miles around San Francisco, and in the UK, Chris Cole – Project Leader for the Bentayga Hybrid achieved 64 per cent zero emissions commuting to and from the factory. In real world terms, the majority of journeys can be achieved completely in electric only, with zero emissions, delivering more benefits environmentally and building on Bentley’s new reputation for sustainability for the future.

AUTHENTIC
Spanish Cooking A
fter the family's move to Spain in 2015 for Phil to work at Valencia Football Club, Julie was captivated by the Spanish culture, their love for food and cooking and their use of fresh local ingredients. This resulted in her working in a wide range for Spanish restaurants for two years and the creation of her latest book “Authentic Spanish Cooking”. Now relocated in the UK but keen to share all that she has learnt. “Up until three years ago I was confident that I had experienced true Spanish cooking bringing together the many flavours of the Mediterranean – and its health benefits too. I had holidayed many times in this incredible country and sampled many traditional dishes and there are numerous lovely Spanish restaurants emerging all over the UK now too. Moving to Spain in 2015 made me quickly realise that I had not even scratched the surface and that the types of foods the Spanish eat, when they eat, their cooking methods and their use of herbs, spices,
oils and locally produced foods was so incredibly different to anything I had tasted or experienced before. My quest to learn as much as I could during my time in Spain about their food and culture resulted in me working in a wide range of incredible restaurants, some Michelin Star with award winning chefs and others only the locals would know where the grandmother is still cooking her famous recipes in what was her original house 60 years earlier. Some in the city, some by the beach and others hidden in the mountains. Collaborating with many of the restaurants in which I worked, I have now brought to you Authentic Spanish Cooking which shares the recipes of restaurant quality food that you can easily recreate in your own home using traditional ingredients and methods. With each restaurant we have provided their most popular dishes including a starter, main course and dessert.” Julie Neville.

The low calorie, omega 3 rich cod, the anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory garlic, the eggs rich in vitamin D and protein, the antioxidant rich paprika and the detoxifying, immune and digestion boosting onions. However, these are fried and therefore are a two star health rated dish.

FIRST-CLASS SERVICE First-class service! Lee was always available for advice and acted as a great information go-between ourselves and our buyers. The sales brochure was excellent and we can really recommend the walk-round video. We would definitely use F&C again. Ray Ashworth 28 Feb 2021 -
FIRST CLASS ESTATE AGENTS Fine & Country sold our property where 3 other Estate Agents failed. The Brochure put together by Arma Kang was exquisite. The accompanied viewing by Arma & Pip Holden were extremely professional & we believe, honest & informative to prospective buyers. Our buyers were so impressed with the service that they made a point of telling us. We have no hesitation in recommending Fine & Country, Arma Kang & Pip Holden, as they provided a first class service. - Raymond Jeffery16 Feb 2021
EXCEPTIONAL AGENT FOR FINE & COUNTRY Lee Armstrong is a very personable representative for Fine & Country. He conducts himself very professionally and has represented us for just over a year. He has arranged for sixteen potential buyers to view the house, six of whom submitted an offer, of which three went to exchange. The final sale was completed with four weeks of the first viewing - amazing! We would certainly recommend Lee to other potential clients. David Harrison 9 Feb 2021 -
We have been absolutely delighted by the service received from Pip, Abi and all the team at Fine & Country, Derbyshire. In particular, we would like to offer our sincere thanks to Pip who has been nothing short of fantastic. Nothing has ever been too much trouble for Pip and she has overseen the whole process every step of the way. This has resulted in a smooth, seamless and stress-free sale. Not even the pandemic has slowed down the relentless energy and support shown by Pip. Firstly, the marketing, brilliantly supported by Abi, was excellent and was really bespoke, nothing felt ‘off the shelf’. Secondly, in double-quick time, Pip found the perfect buyers for our property. Thirdly, Pip kept in touch regularly during the process ensuring that all sides were kept completely up to date at all stages. We highly recommend Pip and the whole team at Fine & Country Derbyshire. Everyone has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. Thank you all very much. - P Donlan 8 Feb 2021
