Locality - Crakemarsh is a small hamlet mainly built on the former site of Crakemarsh Hall. Super location just off the B5030 Rocester - Uttoxeter road which easily links to the A50 commuting network. With nearby Uttoxeter with train station, Uttoxeter Races and amenities. Private schools of Abbotsholme and Denstone College both very close and also in Thomas Alleynes High catchment area.
Owner's perspective - We have lived here at Manor Brook for over twenty years and have really enjoyed living here. We love how peaceful and tranquil the setting is here hence why we have stayed here so long! In winter when the leaves are off the trees, you get a great view of the lake in front with all of its wildlife that it brings. The A50 is minutes away so whenever we need to commute, it's so easy and convenient. We have both market towns of Ashbourne and Uttoxeter nearby, and we are close to the Staffordshire/Derbyshire border. Whats special here, is the property is just a small collection of six properties on an exclusive development with private drive. You wouldn't know we were here!
