ASHBOURNE

Lying at the southern end of the Peak District, Ashbourne is a perfect example of an English market town - market place with stalls, eccentric street plan, narrow cobbled alleys, coaching inns and almshouses. In its heyday in the 18th Century, the town was a fashionable social centre and many fine Georgian buildings remain from this period. Today the town still has much to offer in terms of restaurants and inns and is regarded as something of a haven for antique hunters - but don't expect a bargain! For those who prefer more outdoor pursuits, the Dove and Manifold Valleys are closeby. Alton Towers is just 20 minutes away.

The Property: Smith's Yard

A charming Grade II listed terraced cottage, tucked away in a delightful and quiet position, yet just a stone's throw from Ashbourne's main shopping streets and alleys. The brick built cottage has been recently refurbished throughout and offers extremely well furnished and comfortable accommodation whilst retaining many original features including old beams and cast iron and stone fireplaces. An excellent base from which to explore the south west corner of the Peak National Park - particularly the Dove and Manifold Valleys.
