Grey Roofs is a modern ground floor barn conversion located near Ashbourne in Derbyshire. The cottage has two double bedrooms and a shower room, sleeping four people in total. This holiday home comes with a kitchen diner and a sitting room with a woodburning stove. There is a lawn to the front as well as a courtyard with furniture and a barbecue. Grey Roofs is an incredible property in a sublime location, with lots to see and do including visiting Alton Towers, the market town of Ashbourne and Matlock.

Lying south of the Peak District, Ashbourne is a perfect example of an English market town - it has a 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 outdoor pursuits, the Dove and Manifold Valleys are close by. Alton Towers is just 20 minutes away.
