Owner's perspective - "A wonderful family home for over forty years. The first thing that strikes visitors is the beautiful drive into Mapleton. There’s the entrance through the open parkland in Okeover Park, or the lane with its spectacular views into the Dove Valley or the convenient lane down from Ashbourne. At the end of a working day driving into the village I have always felt the stresses of modern life just disappear and knew a peaceful country home awaited. Situated a stones throw from the Peak National Park boundary the house stands back from the lane in the Mapleton Conservation Area and has spectacular views along the River Dove with Thorpe Cloud in the distance.
I have memories of family Christmas’s with the house full of children and friends along with our cats and dogs curled up in front of the roaring open fire. I remember family time in the snow sledging down the bank behind the Okeover Arms. There are walks a plenty. You can choose to walk along the River Dove. I have watched trout jumping at the weir or swans pass by with their signets or the kingfisher swooping up the river. Today I disturbed a heron fishing in the garden pond. Recently from the kitchen window I have seen deer on the other side of the garden fence. I have watched visiting badgers in the garden at night.
The garden has been a peaceful sanctuary where I grew vegetables and picked apples and plums off the trees or just leaned on the fence admiring the wonderful views. The village has a range of community services including a little Grade II star church, the historic Okeover Arms, playing fields and a village hall."
