Mappleton, Ashbourne

This detached country residence, known as The Haven, occupies a generous plot of approximately one acre in the sought-after village of Mappleton. Enjoying panoramic views across the Dove Valley and towards Okeover Park, the property is believed to date back to the 18th century and offers spacious, well-proportioned accommodation across two floors.

While some areas would benefit from refurbishment, the home retains many period features and offers a wealth of potential throughout. It also includes an adjoining coach house with scope for conversion into a holiday let or ancillary accommodation, subject to the necessary consents.

The ground floor layout includes a large drawing room with a striking bay window and floor-to-ceiling oak panelling, offering uninterrupted views over the surrounding countryside. The dining room features oak flooring and original fireplaces at either end, and there is a separate sitting room or library with a multi-fuel stove. The breakfast kitchen is fitted with wooden base and wall units, quarry tiled flooring, and appliances including an electric hob, oven, microwave, and warming drawer. A walk-in pantry/wine cellar offers additional storage.

The ground floor also includes a utility/bathroom with bath, Belfast sink, and appliance space, along with a guest cloakroom. A secondary hallway with a second staircase leads to a study and provides access to the coach house.

Upstairs, the master bedroom enjoys commanding views and includes a feature fireplace. There are six further bedrooms across the first floor, along with a shower room fitted with a white suite, and a separate bathroom featuring a roll-top bath. The coach house is accessed internally from the study and includes a ground floor workshop, stairs to a landing, and two versatile rooms that could be adapted for a variety of uses.

Externally, the property is approached via a semi-circular 'in and out' gated driveway offering ample parking. The mature grounds include formal gardens, lawns, a small orchard, and established borders. A detached double garage with twin double doors also provides access to the coach house, further enhancing the potential of this unique and characterful home. The Haven offers a rare opportunity to acquire a period home with significant scope in one of the area's most desirable locations, just two miles from the market town of Ashbourne.
