1 / 24Lane End - Crich
Crich, Derbyshire
A five bedroom house for eight at Crich near Matlock, with two single bedrooms among the five, an enclosed garden and three dogs welcome.
Two of the five bedrooms at Lane End are singles, and that is what separates this house from the others on the hill. Eight people go into two doubles, a twin and those two singles, so the odd one out of a family group gets a door rather than a sofa. Lane End is dog friendly and takes three dogs at Crich, with an enclosed garden holding patio, lawn and seating. A house that solves the odd-number problem is worth more to most parties than another double.
Five bedrooms, two bathrooms and a separate WC for eight works because the sleeping is spread so wide. The utility room deals with the dryer and the washing machine, which at this size stops being a nicety, and a hot tub stands outside. The garden is shut on every side with the patio at the near end, so three dogs go out and stay out without anybody standing at the gate.
Sunday morning and the house is running at three speeds. Somebody has been out with two of the dogs before anybody else moved, both singles are still shut, and the third has taken a position in the kitchen doorway where food is likeliest to appear. By ten the garden has filled up and the whole thing starts over.
2 miles down the hill, Whatstandwell is where the valley narrows and the road, the railway and the river go through the same gap in the rock. Alderwasley stands above on the far side, an old park of oaks with a hall in the middle and lanes nobody drives. The Derwent runs between the two through steep woodland the whole way. Three dogs get river-level walking one way and a climb back the other.
