Planning ref AVA 2024 0147

House 2518 sqft
Garage ground floor 656 sqft

Overall 3819 sqft including garages, accommodation above the garage and garage loft storage.

Enjoying an out of town location, planning consent is granted for a striking new build home to occupy the site of a former cottage. Within the site currently is a garage annexe scheduled to be removed as part of the proposed development. The proposed new home is designed to accommodate contemporary lifestyles meeting high efficiency standards which complement bespoke architectural detail making excellent use of natural light and countryside views from this special location. The location not only affords ready access to the recreational delights of the surrounding Derbyshire Dales and Amber Valley, it is just a short drive from the centres of Crich, a favoured village well served by a number of shops, independent traders and other amenities to include doctors surgery and respected primary schooling. The local road network provides excellent links to the neighbouring market towns of Matlock, Chesterfield and Alfreton, together with commuting to further afield via the A38 and M1 corridor.

Highcroft Design Statement This proposed new dwelling is designed to respect the traditional Derbyshire vernacular whilst providing a contemporary family home. Split into three volumes, the stepped roofscape provides a clear entrance into the central circulation zone, with accommodation to each side.

The building orientation takes advantage of the distant views whilst creating external areas in both sun and shade. A sheltered terrace between the house and garages provides private amenity space, readily accessible from the kitchen dining room.

The specifications provide a well insulated home which is designed to perform above Building Regulations standards. There is plenty of healthy, fresh air from a central ventilation system and lots of natural light. Good storage is available on both floors.

Recesses and overhangs allow potential solar gain to be managed whilst maintaining views to the south and east. There is access to the rear garden from first floor level.

The architects are happy to work with the purchaser to deliver a new house.

Please note some changes were made at the technical stage to comply with building regs.
