***ORCHARD END*** An opportunity has arisen to join an established rural housing cooperative in a quiet and beautiful part of the Derbyshire Dales. Earth Heart Housing Cooperative, established in 1997, consists of 8 privately owned grade II listed homes on the edge of Atlow village near Ashbourne. The Co-op is set in the 21 acres of organically certified land it owns and manages, primarily for nature conservation and increasing biodiversity. Residents at Earth Heart become members and directors of the Co-op with shared responsibility for managing the land, outbuildings and facilities that it owns. The shared land includes a 13 acre parkland style pasture bordered by Henmore Brook, two other smaller pastures, 5 acres semi-ancient woodland, a productive orchard and a large vegetable garden. Other shared facilities include a communal wood pellet boiler and a reed bed sewage system. There are also shared outbuildings for storage, workshop space, community meetings and social events.
