About this property
The Old Dairy House is a superb, Grade II listed house on a pretty shopping street in the market town of Ashbourne. On arrival, discover the covered outdoor seating area to the front of the property; here you can sip your morning coffee and plan the day ahead. Step inside to the open-plan living space, hosting a kitchen area with shiny marble worktops, white-glossed units, and an island to enjoy home-cooked meals. Unwind on the corner sofa as the Smart TV with surround sound keeps you entertained or venture upstairs to the roof top terrace to savour a glass of wine. Prepare for the day ahead in the bathroom, featuring a Jacuzzi bath for a leisurely soak, a wet room-style shower, basin, heated towel rail and WC. When sleep calls, there is a super-king-size bed with bedside table to keep your favourite book and a single bedroom, ideal for a younger one. The bustling town of Ashbourne is a great base for adventures, with its cobbled alleys, quirky shops, and traditional inns to enjoy heart-warming meals. Within easy reach is the Peak District National Park, home to deep valleys in Dovedale and the sprawling moorlands of Kinder Scout for a challenging hike. Visit the town of Matlock, where visitors can enjoy a variety of attractions, including the Heights of Abraham, Gulliver's Kingdom, and Matlock Farm Park, as well as explore its beautiful countryside surroundings. All this and more awaits at The Old Dairy House.
Ashbourne, at the southern end of the Peak District, is an English market town featuring a market place, an odd street pattern, small cobbled alleys, coaching inns, and almshouses. The town was a fashionable social centre in the 18th century, and many Georgian structures remain. Today, the town offers many restaurants, inns, and antique shops, but don't anticipate a deal. Dove and Manifold Valleys are nearby, while Alton Towers is a short drive away.
