Rambler's Gate, DE6

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

The new streets are quite narrow and can be difficult to drive on when cars are parked on the streets. There isn't much of a provision for guest parking.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

We got lucky with out plot as the location of it is great, but in hindsight we would have considered its position on the estate much more carefully. Where are your neighbours, how much traffic will go past your house, are you overlooked by other houses, will you have a view, etc.

What is the best feature of your home:

The double French doors leading out to the garden.

I like the area ashbourne is a lovely town with loads of pub and cafes and some nice shops. It’s also very close the Peak District national park.

Not many shops , restaurants in the area. Parking on the Main Street and at junction is dangerous,as well as parking on the pavement so you can not get a pushchair or wheelchair through.

What is the best feature of your home:

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Area is lovely, a small market town with lovely places to eat and drink. Expensive council tax but feel it is worth it. Bins are not always collected which is poor considering you pay extra for this service on top of your council tax. Traffic noise is OK.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

I wish I had known how high the houses were going to be behind me, 3 years later they're now being build and I am offered no privacy.

What is the best feature of your home:

The master bedroom, large size on a seperate floor to provide privacy when guests stop over.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Transport links are good for buses - stop is by the estate. Parking is not good on areas of the estate as drives are not adequate on most properties. Bin collections are sporadic which is poor considering the high rate of council tax. Ashbourne has tourist focused shops but is pretty and has plenty of pubs.

What is the best feature of your home:

Large open plan kitchen diner with patio doors and glassed area
