Wyntor Avenue, Winster, Matlock

The Location

The conservation village of Winster is situated within the White Peak area of the Peak District National Park and is an extremely pretty place, with a charming 17th century market house at its centre, and other imposing 17th and 18th century houses, many, three storeys high. The three main streets - Main Street, East Bank and West Bank are interconnected by alleyways known as ‘ginnels’, which are well worth exploring. The village of Winster is famous for its Morris dancers, the annual Shrove Tuesday pancake race, Wakes festivities in June, and the Secret Gardens of Winster event in July. Within the village there is a well-stocked, community-owned general store incorporating a Post Office. There are two pubs, both serving food and traditional beer. Bakewell, Matlock, Chatsworth House and the Peak Rail Steam Railway are all nearby and, for keen walkers and cyclists, The Limestone Way runs along the edge of the village. The Tissington and High Peaks walking and cycling trails, with bike hire available, both lie less than 5 miles from the village, a wonderful base for exploring the Peak District.

Council Tax Information

We are informed by Derbyshire Dales District Council that this home falls within Council Tax Band C which is currently £1889 per annum.

Derbyshire Dales Occupancy Clause

The Derbyshire Dales Occupancy Clause refers to restrictions placed on the deeds of properties situated within the Peak District National Park. The clause applies to former council owned properties that have passed into private ownership through ‘right to buy’, discounted properties and other schemes under Section 37 of the Housing Act 1985.

Under the Housing Act 1985, the effect of these restrictions mean that the purchaser must meet certain criteria to be allowed to buy the property. This can also affect the selling of the property as fewer people may meet the criteria and be able to buy it. Buyers will also need a letter from the District Council stating that they either meet the specified criteria or that they have been granted permission to purchase the property.

The Derbyshire Clause is permanent and stays with the property on any subsequent sale. Therefore, any future purchasers must also satisfy the same criteria or obtain permission from the District Council.

There are currently 863 properties within the Derbyshire Dales District which contain the Derbyshire Clause that are former District Council properties within the Peak District National Park boundary.

The buyer is a member of the armed forces with a local connection to Derbyshire or the Peak District who is returning to live in the area.

Having a local connection means that you have lived in Derbyshire or the Peak District for three out of the past ten years or that you have immediate family who have lived in the area continuously for the past three years. All other cases will be referred to the Director of Housing for the exercise of their discretion. When applying for consent the proposed purchaser should supply sufficient evidence to support their request.
