Market Place, Ashbourne, Derbyshire

A most elegant period town house property offering very spacious and extremely characterful accommodation over three floors which has recently been comprehensively refurbished to a very high standard to provide an exquisite family home.

The property principally dates from the late 18th Century but has older origins to the rear and is Listed Grade II* as being of architectural and historical interest. Retaining many of its original features including portico entranced door, sweeping Georgian staircase and plaster detailing the building was for many years utilised for a variety of commercial purposes but it has now reverted to its original purpose as a genteel town centre residence but which successfully combines the property’s original charm and character with the requirements of modern day living.

Overlooking the historic cobbled Market Place area the property is well placed for ready access to all of Ashbourne facilities and amenities. It briefly affords spacious entrance hall, two elegant reception rooms, comprehensively fitted breakfast kitchen, cloaks/wc and cellarage.
