Margery Close, Ashbourne, Derbyshire DE6

Set within a quiet cul-de-sac in the historic market town of Ashbourne, this neatly presented three bedroom detached house offers comfortable, practical accommodation with the Derbyshire countryside providing a picturesque backdrop. Built in the late 1990s, it combines the convenience of modern family living with easy access to one of England’s most celebrated landscapes, the Peak District.

The house has been carefully maintained, with a light, neutral interior and an easy connection between its principal living spaces. From the entrance hall, the accommodation opens into a through sitting and dining room, creating a generous space that extends from the front of the house to the garden at the rear.

The sitting area is arranged around a bay window, with plantation shutters filtering the natural light and timber-effect flooring continuing through to the dining area. A wide, gently curved opening connects the two spaces, giving each its own identity while retaining an open, sociable arrangement. At the rear, glazed sliding doors lead directly onto a raised deck, extending the dining space outdoors during the warmer months.

Adjoining the dining room, the kitchen is fitted with traditional white cabinetry, contrasting worktops and integrated cooking appliances, while a window above the sink brings in natural light. A glazed external door provides further access to the garden.

Upstairs, three bedrooms are arranged around the landing. The principal bedroom is a comfortable double with a pleasant outlook towards the surrounding countryside, while the second bedroom also easily accommodates a double bed. The third is a good-sized single room. A contemporary family bathroom serves all three bedrooms, with a bath, overhead shower and modern fittings.

Outside, the enclosed rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn, while a substantial raised deck occupies the space immediately beyond the dining room, offering room for outdoor furniture and summer dining beneath an open-framed pergola. Gated access to both sides of the house adds practicality, while the front driveway provides parking for two cars in addition to the integral garage.

Perhaps the property’s most appealing quality is its relationship with the wider landscape. Beyond the neighbouring rooftops, the ground rises into a patchwork of green fields, hedgerows and wooded hills, offering a glimpse of the Derbyshire countryside from the upper floor. It is a reminder that, although the house sits within an established residential neighbourhood, some of the country’s most beautiful walking and cycling countryside lies close at hand.

Ashbourne itself is one of Derbyshire's most characterful market towns, with a history reflected in its cobbled Market Place, Georgian architecture and handsome historic buildings. Its centre offers an appealing mix of independent shops, cafes, restaurants and traditional pubs, together with everyday amenities and a longstanding market tradition. The town has a distinct identity of its own, combining the convenience of a thriving local centre with a strong connection to the surrounding countryside.

Just beyond Ashbourne lies the southern Peak District, where limestone valleys, wooded dales and open hills create a landscape of remarkable variety. The celebrated scenery of Dovedale, with its riverside walks and stepping stones, is within easy reach, while the Tissington Trail begins on the edge of town, following a former railway line through miles of countryside. Carsington Water offers further opportunities for walking, cycling and waterside recreation.

For those drawn to a different pace of life, Ashbourne offers an appealing combination of town and country: a place with history, independent character and the open landscapes of Derbyshire on its doorstep.

The property is offered for sale with no upper chain.
