Owner's perspective - "We have thoroughly enjoyed living here in the beautiful village of Clifton, having a friendly and thriving community spirit and great neighbours. The grandchildren have loved staying over, playing in the stream and grounds and being able to walk into fields straight out of the garden.
It’s been wonderful to be able to hear the cricket matches taking place on summer nights, just a few hundred yards away.
After 24 wonderful years here and with extensive improvements we've achieved with the house and garden, it is time to downsize as we are getting no younger. We have had numerous gatherings here and there is plenty of space to have family and friends over, both outdoors and in. The property is at the edge of the village and within easy reach of Ashbourne for shopping and convenient amenities. Clifton has a popular village school, together with a local traditional pub with great food. We will certainly miss Clifton, but cherish the time and memories here."
