8 bedroom house

Ladyhole House stands in an elevated position in a rural location within the parish of Yeldersley and is approached via a country lane, ½ mile off the A52 with a tree lined entrance leading to a sweeping drive and generous parking area between the house, garage block and cottage. Ashbourne is about 2 ½ miles and Derby is about 12 miles where there are fast intercity train services to London (from 1 ½ hours). The A38 and A50 dual carriageways are 10 and 12 miles respectively providing convenient access to many of the Regions centres and motorway network. East Midlands airport is about 25 miles.

The house and main rooms face south, overlooking the main garden and paddocks beyond, with the range of buildings and Cottage to the rear. The accommodation is arranged over three floors, plus a cellar, with a substantial entrance door opening into the reception hall which has wooden parquet flooring, woodburning stove and a wide, imposing staircase. The drawing room is a beautiful room with two wide bay windows, large open fire and wood floor. The dining room has a fireplace and its size takes a long table. The sitting room also has a bay window and fireplace with a second door to the kitchen / breakfast room which has French windows onto the terrace. There is a four oven Aga, separate hob and electric oven and twin bowl sinks and dishwasher within the fitted cabinets. A walk-in pantry off the kitchen provides lots more storage.

The principal staircase has a large window providing good natural light to the generously sized landing serving the first floor bedrooms and bathrooms. The main bedroom has a dressing room, which might also provide an en-suite bathroom, and the fourth bedroom enjoys a balcony. Both bathrooms are a good size.

A second staircase also serves the first floor and continues to the second floor where there are four more good size bedrooms, most with built in wardrobes and bathroom providing an ideal space for children.

The house is well equipped with built in cupboards, Butler's pantry, laundry, linen and general storage space and there are useful boot and boiler rooms providing additional practical storage and connection to the garden and parking areas.

Coachman's Cottage
The owners currently let this as a Holiday home for 6-7 people and over the last three years it has been let for an average of 180 nights producing about £22,500 gross income per year. Previously it was used by one of the Owners Parents with the conservatory being added and cottage upgraded. It could equally provide excellent staff accommodation or be let on a standard Shorthold tenancy.
There is a hall, cloakroom, fitted kitchen with limestone flooring and Rayburn cooker, separate utility, good size sitting room with dual aspect, fireplace and fitted cupboards, and conservatory opening onto the patio with hot tub. There is one ground floor bedroom, a main bedroom with ensuite and a further bedroom and bathroom on the first floor. There is underfloor heating to hall, kitchen and bathroom and radiators elsewhere.

Outbuildings
Adjoining the Cottage is a range of brick buildings with store room, double garage with sliding doors and additional covered parking is provided by a canopy. There are dog kennels, three timber stables and an old timber garage/store. At the back of the house is a Fuel store housing two oil tanks and providing plenty of space for logs and coal.
In the front paddock there is a further timber stable with lean to store. There is also a further brick building hidden away in the wooded area
