Owner's perspective - "Our ownership of this apartment ranks as the happiest of times for us following our retirement. We had access on foot to Thorpe, Thorpe Cloud, Dovedale, walks by the river Dove and its famous stepping stones, Milldale and much of Derbyshire's beautiful countryside. The Tissington trail and High Peak trail is also nearby and easily accessible by foot or bike giving 26 miles of scenery for walkers and bikers alike. We spent many happy days over Spring and Summer on the trail. We kept our bikes in the large cupboard inside the flat. Apart from these happy memories the flat was a focal point for meeting our friends and family for walks and many memorable dinner parties.
The town of Ashbourne is easily accessible by turning left down the alleyway and footpath off Windmill lane so you don’t have to walk down the main road. At the end of the path you enter the town square with all amenities and some excellent pubs. There is a supermarket as well as a lot of independent shops. It is very quiet with no traffic noise as Tissington Court is set well apart from the busy main road."
