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.

Owner's perspective - "This has been a truly wonderful family home for the past 14 years. Our children have grown up here, right in the heart of Ashbourne, with easy access to local amenities and excellent schools.
Arranged over four floors and connected by three sets of stairs, the house offers a unique sense of space and character. As a family, we’ve always appreciated the generous proportions, with large rooms and a flexible layout that easily adapts to different needs.
The garden has been a particular highlight, thoughtfully arranged over three levels to make the most of the sun throughout the day. It’s a perfect space for relaxing or entertaining, with lovely views and a design that’s easy to maintain—allowing you to simply enjoy it.
Living here has also meant enjoying the benefits of being close to the vibrant market town centre, while still having a peaceful and spacious home to retreat to. The added convenience of off-street parking and a dedicated residents’ parking area has been invaluable.
We feel incredibly fortunate to have been the custodians of such a characterful and special house and garden, and we hope the next owners will enjoy it as much as we have."
