The details
Nestled along one of Ashbourne’s most historic streets, this luxurious hideaway for two offers the rare chance to stay within a beautifully restored grade two star listed building dating back to 1669. Built from warm local sandstone and rich oak beams, 42 Church Street forms part of the historic Pegge’s Almshouses, where centuries of heritage now meet sleek twentieth-century design and effortless modern living. It’s a stay that feels quietly indulgent, deeply characterful and wonderfully placed for exploring both town and countryside.
Step inside and you’ll discover a clever layout with the novelty of two front doors. One leads into a stylish open-plan kitchen and dining space, finished with contemporary fittings, Sophie Conran tableware and an Illy espresso machine for slow, café-style mornings. The other opens into a generous lounge where leather Chesterfield sofas invite long evenings in, warmed by a small electric stove and softly lit for a cosy, relaxed atmosphere. Fibre WiFi runs throughout the cottage and into the garden, so whether you’re streaming a film on the SkyGlass 4K TV or planning the next day’s adventures, everything feels easy.
The ground floor also includes a beautifully appointed bathroom with a walk-in rain shower, while a discreet utility cupboard keeps practicalities neatly tucked away. Upstairs, a bright study provides space to read, write or work remotely, before you slip through a charming triangular wooden door into the bedroom. Here, a supremely comfortable king size bed is dressed in Egyptian cotton sheets, with plush towels and robes adding a hotel-like flourish.
Outside, an outdoor dining area offers a peaceful spot for breakfast or evening drinks, while a secure stone outbuilding provides storage for bikes and walking gear. With restaurants, independent shops and cafés just minutes away, and the Tissington Trail close by for walking and cycling, the location couldn’t be better.
Venture further afield and the Peak District opens up in every direction. Dovedale’s limestone valleys, the grandeur of Chatsworth House, the drama of Haddon Hall and the delights of Ashbourne itself are all within easy reach, making this a refined and romantic base for discovering one of England’s most beautiful regions.
