A beautiful well laid out property, with lots of spaces inside and out, perfect for family and friends to enjoy. Set in central Ashbourne and nestled on a quiet hillside with unobstructed views to the open countryside, it’s a short walk to the colourful market square with shops, cafes, and pubs to visit. Steps away is a network of country footpaths and cycle trails including Tissington Trail with nearby cycle hire. Visit Carsington Water (7 miles), with walks, cycling, and water sports to enjoy. Enjoy family fun at Alton Towers (12 miles), Peak Wildlife Park (11 miles), Museum of Childhood at Sudbury Hall (11 miles), and Great British Car Journey (15 miles). Be sure to explore Chatsworth House (20 miles) and gardens, navigate the garden maze and treat yourself to a leisurely afternoon tea.
