Locality - Kniveton is located near the Peak District within the Derbyshire Dales. 3 miles from Ashbourne, 6 miles from Wirksworth and 16 miles from Derby. Being close to Carsington Water reservoir, the village has Kniveton C of E Primary School and the church of St Michael and All Angels’ is a Grade I listed building. There are two pubs, The Red Lion Inn centered in the village, and the second just outside, called The Bubble Inn – formerly The Ketch.

Owner's perspective - After 12 great years it’s time to move on. The house gave us the perfect space to bring our family up and the garden and field let us share that time with the horses, dogs, hens and ducks! The kids sledged, built dens, fished and hid in perfect peace - while we could still walk to and from Ashbourne when we wanted. Far enough away to be anywhere, but close enough to be in town in under 10 minutes. The house has lots of space for everyone and opens onto the views of the garden and the sound of the brook.
