Useful Information
Hoon Ridge is an important Grade 2 listed Arts & Crafts mansion designed by the architect George Morley Eaton, a follower of Sir Edwin Lutyens (ref \"The Derbyshire Country House\" - Maxwell Craven & Michael Stanley). The house is situated in the small hamlet of Hoon Ridge and is currently configured as four separate homes which boast many typical Arts & Crafts features and impressive fireplaces. However, it could easily be reverted to a very large country house. Hoon Ridge is set in approximately 6 acres of fine gardens which include a pony paddock, a staff bungalow, and two double storey double garages. It has been the subject of extensive renovation throughout under local conservation architects. Clearly influenced by the mature style of Sir Edwin Lutyens with its tall stacks and pronounced eaves, Hoon Ridge makes for an imposing sight and will attract those who either : seek a substantial country home ideal for entertaining; one with income-generating potential; with live-work potential or as a home for an extended family who wish to live independently. Hoon Ridge is centrally located, being close to major routes (M1, M6, A38, A50) and approx. 20 mins from East Midlands airport. It is a short drive to the public schools of Repton, Denstone and Derby Grammar and High Schools and to well regarded state schools. It presents an arresting sight at the end of a single track road and has commanding views over the Weaver Hills and Sutton Brook to the north and over its fine garden to the south.
