Owner's perspective - "We have really enjoyed our home in Doveridge Park, which is a very pretty and spacious development located on the far edge of Doveridge, perched above the river Dove with lovely views toward the 12th century church and hills to the south. Beautiful scenery and countryside walks are just steps away. Doveridge is a vibrant community with every possible amenity and an array of clubs and interest groups for those who like to get involved. At 5 Pickford Grove we’ve paid particular attention to creating a comfortable, spacious, functional and low-maintenance home that one can spend time enjoying. The private courtyard-garden is a real oasis and suntrap, providing the perfect place for a quiet morning coffee, as well as for entertaining family and friends. All this, with great links to the A50 and M1, provides the perfect mix of “country-feel” with “town-convenience”."
