This 2-bedroom end-of-terrace cottage sits on a peaceful hillside right in the heart of Ashbourne, Derbyshire. A footpath directly behind the property leads straight into the town centre. Exposed beams and a wood burner give the cottage real character.

Ashbourne is the gateway to the Peak District. The town has independent shops, coffee houses and traditional pubs all within walking distance. The Tissington Trail, a traffic-free walking and cycling route, is right on your doorstep. Carsington Water is just 7 miles away for water sports and lakeside walks.

The cottage sleeps 5 across two bedrooms. The king-size bedroom has one king bed. The family bedroom has one double and one single. One bathroom with shower over bath serves both rooms. The kitchen-diner has an electric oven, hob, microwave, fridge, freezer and dishwasher. The large lounge has a wood burner and a big comfortable sofa.

Alton Towers is 12 miles away (around 20 minutes). Chatsworth House is 20 miles (30 minutes). Peak Wildlife Park is 11 miles (18 minutes). Sudbury Hall and the Museum of Childhood is also 11 miles away.
