Vendor Insight

“When we first viewed Thorpe Cottage, we instantly fell in love with its beams and overall look. Nestled in the picturesque conservation area of the Peak District National Park, it’s a superb location, what’s not to love? It’s a beautiful spot with gorgeous views where we can relax in serenity and total peace and quiet, Thorpe Cottage has it all, ” say the current owners.

“We’ve lived here for 14 years and spent the first-year stripping everything back and renovating to a high standard throughout. Perhaps one of our favourite features is the log fireplace in the dining room. It’s a natural gathering place for our guests and it perfectly complements the character of Thorpe Cottage.”

“The location is a walkers’ paradise! We’ve walked all over the hills and along the River Dove, often ending up in nearby Dovedale. It’s ideal for horse riding too, as well as fishing in the river that teems with both rainbow and brown trout. There are a lot of interesting areas to explore in the vicinity, including Tissington Hall, Haddon Hall and Kedleston Hall. The county fair at Chatsworth gets bigger and better every year and there’s always something to enjoy. Ashbourne is a historic market town offering a good choice of shops and restaurants, as well as a lovely delicatessen.”

“The fully enclosed garden is ideal for our dogs as they can be securely outside which gives us peace of mind. The large decked and patio area is perfect for BBQs and entertaining or just relaxing with a good book in the sun. We live opposite the village green which is a fabulous space to throw a frisbee or enjoy a game of cricket, and best of all, we can enjoy all it has to offer without worrying about mowing the grass!”

“We are moving to be closer to our family and we will miss the beauty of the area and living in a gorgeous, stone cottage. We look out of the windows and see nothing but grass and trees, it’s very special indeed.”

“We’ve lived in bustling cities that are full of busy people, but we have absolutely loved being in the countryside where we breathe the fresh air and walk in the peace and quiet. It’s total escapism.”

“It’s hard to choose just one favourite room but I do like to spend time in the kitchen, as I enjoy cooking. The under-cabinet lighting and worktop areas are both practical and attractive.”

“The house and garden are perfect for entertaining. There is plenty of room for parking and we can easily accommodate a large marquee over the patio area which was particularly useful when we hosted a summer bbq on what turned out to be a very rainy day!”
