Locality - Nestled within the picturesque landscape, Ashbourne stands as a historic market town renowned as "The Gateway to the Peak District," owing to its strategic proximity to the breathtaking Peak District National Park. Conveniently situated with easy access to the A50 (9 miles), facilitating connections to the M1 and M6 motorway networks. Noteworthy for its longstanding tradition of Royal Shrovetide Football, a ritual dating back to 1667, observed on Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday. The thriving town boasts a diverse range of amenities, featuring a plethora of distinctive, predominantly independent shops, and charming cafes. Adding to its allure, Ashbourne hosts a popular golf course on its outskirts, and the coveted Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School (QEGs) caters to the educational needs of the town and the adjacent Derbyshire Dales villages. Excellent transport links include a well-connected bus station linking Ashbourne to Derby and Uttoxeter, with a variety of regular services. Convenient train stations at Uttoxeter, Derby, and Matlock further enhance connectivity.

Owner's perspective - "Having come to Derbyshire walking for over 20 years, when we retired in 2015, Ashbourne was our favourite location to move to and we have never regretted our decision. What particularly attracted us to the house was the flexibility of the upstairs accommodation. We feel it suits most lifestyles, from young families, to those with teenagers and above, to our demographic with visiting family and friends. The four double bedrooms, en-suite to master, family bathroom and especially the Jack & Jill bathroom between bedrooms 2 & 4 offers multiple options. On the ground floor the separate sitting room plus the dining/kitchen with French doors onto the garden have afforded us great entertaining spaces. The cul-de-sac location with no-through access has given us privacy and a wonderful outlook at the front in all seasons over the countryside and golf club in the distance. We have regular visits from a Pheasant family, Buzzards, Owls, Red Kites and even the occasional Heron. Ashbourne has a wonderful, welcoming, community spirit and we have made many friends."
