Chapter One

Chapter One is a renovated townhouse in Ashbourne's town centre, built with the kind of solid Victorian or Edwardian bones that give character to a stay. Three bedrooms on the first floor—a super king, a king and a three-quarter double—sleep six across the property. The shower room is on the same level. Downstairs, an open-plan kitchen and dining space has everything you need to cook properly: electric oven and hob, dishwasher, and room to eat together. The living room has a smart TV and sits behind a clever screen that keeps street views private without blocking daylight.

The essentials—heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and wifi—are all included. A rear garden with seating and furniture is ready to use. One pet stays free. The location puts you within walking distance of restaurants, pubs and shops, and only minutes from the Tissington Trail and Dovedale if you're after the Derbyshire peaks. Alton Towers sits about 15 minutes' drive away. Note that the neighbouring property has a right of way for their bins, and parking is unrestricted on the road outside.
