1 bedroom cottage for sale

BENNET SAMWAYS are delighted to offer for sale this beautifully presented, one-bedroom, characterful end cottage located on a popular road within walking distance of Ashbourne town centre. This charming property features a surprisingly spacious, enclosed side garden.
With its character and convenient location, this cottage would make an ideal holiday home, second home, or first-time buy. It’s well-situated within Ashbourne, providing easy access to all local amenities.

Interior - The main entrance door opens into a character-filled, open-plan living room with a painted beam ceiling and wooden-effect flooring. Stairs lead to the first-floor accommodation, with a useful understairs storage cupboard, and a side door provides access to the garden. The kitchen area features a range of base and wall-mounted units, associated worktops, a stainless steel sink and drainer, an electric induction hob, electric oven, plumbing for a washing machine, and space for a fridge-freezer.
On the first-floor landing, you'll find access to the master bedroom and fitted bathroom. The master bedroom boasts a unique feature: a door opening onto an enclosed brick balcony-an ideal spot to enjoy morning coffee with partial views over Ashbourne. The fitted bathroom includes a white suite with a bath and shower over.

Exterior - A charming gated entrance through an original brick wall leads to the main garden on the side of the property. The garden is spacious, low-maintenance, and provides a lovely setting for outdoor entertaining with views over Ashbourne. There is ample space for a garden room or office. The neighbouring two properties have an occasional right of way across the garden, though this is rarely used and primarily for access if they are conducting maintenance on their properties.

Locality - Ashbourne is a historic market town known as “The Gateway to the Peak District” due to its convenient location to the magnificent Peak District National Park. It is within easy access of the A50 (9 miles) which connects to the M1 & M6 motorway links. Famous for its annual Royal Shrovetide Football (dates back to 1667) which is played on Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday. There is a great array of amenities and facilities within a thriving town centre, which offers a plethora of individual, mainly independent shops and cafes. Ashbourne has a popular golf course on the outskirts of the town, and has the highly sought after secondary school of Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar School (QEGs) which serves Ashbourne and the surrounding Derbyshire Dales villages. There is a bus station which helps connect Ashbourne to Derby and Uttoxeter with a number of regular services, and nearby train stations at Uttoxeter and Derby & Matlock.

Owner's perspective - "We have had a wonderful time in this sweet cottage during 2024 as we sought a permanent home in the Peak District, which we have now found. Everything in Ashbourne is easily accessed on foot, particularly through the old alleyways which we adore. Also, within easy walking distance is the wonderful Tissington Trail, whether you want to cycle or trek, and walks across fields to neighbouring villages which has been perfect for many a dog walk. We have met so many friendly people and have had lovely and helpful neighbours. We will always continue to visit Ashbourne as it is a really special place to us both. "
