    About this property

    • FOREWORD

      Waters View was originally conceived as a world class National Jewellery and Gemstone Centre, by fine jewellers C W Sellors.

      Designed by Award winning architects, Waters View embraces a quality of construction and materials that is rarely seen, with over 20,000 sq ft on a site extending to 17.525 acres (7.092 hectares).

      The elevated views across Carsington Water and borrowed landscape beyond are unique as is the opportunity to own this breathtaking piece of Real Estate.

      OVERVIEW

      The property comprises a three-storey bespoke building of modernist design, constructed to the highest standard, using a steel frame with a mix of feature glass and local, natural materials with extensive local stone cladding and using a low
      profile design to blend in with the immediate landscape.

      It sits on an elevated position, with a large, surfaced car park in landscaped grounds, along with serviced space for events and overspill plateaued car parking, on four levels accessed via
      an integral service road.

      The property is accessed via a large double-glazed entrance, leading to a striking triple height atrium, with lift and feature staircase to the upper and lower levels.

      The entrance lobby enjoys extensive natural light, primarily from a full height glazed elevation, with far reaching views across Carsington Water.

      Within this level is the main retailing gallery, along with two workshops, whilst the upper floors comprise administrative space with retailing, hospitality, marketing suite and studio, along with access to an open plan roof terrace, with separate
      bar servery and holding kitchen.

      The lower ground floor comprises a potential restaurant and kitchen area, with sales support office, studio and conference room.

      Extensive customer and staff welfare facilities are provided throughout the building, together with ancillary plant room.

      SUSTAINABILITY

      Waters View was designed to adhere to and embrace the need to be a sustainable rural workspace, with the building boasting
      excellent sustainability credentials. Every element has been designed to be in tune with the natural splendour of its location, including its heating, cooling, DHW and power systems.

      Such is the specialist and unique design of Waters View heating and ventilation system, the building has been nominated and a finalist in several industry awards - recently winning 'Ground Source Project of the Year' at The National ACR & Heat Pump Awards.

      The build also features locally sourced materials, which include a unique fossil limestone from the fondly nicknamed "The
      Once A Week Quarry" incorporated into its impressive dry-stone walling. Using local suppliers has ensured Waters View
      considerably reduced its carbon footprint during the building phase.

      Externally, attenuation ponds, wildflower meadows, intelligent green planting, and further scope for landscaping will help with
      the natural maintenance of the grounds and allow the building to merge into its setting.

      PLANNING - Full planning consent was granted by Derby Dales District Council in September 2015, for the creation of a jewellery design centre of excellence , incorporating Workshop, educational ,and retail uses, with associated car parking and landscaping ( Ref 14/00796/FUL ), subject
      to various subsequent variations.

      The property is outside the jurisdiction and boundary of the Peak District National Park.
