Locality - Clifton village is located just outside of the market town of Ashbourne. Clifton is famous for having the “Down’ards” goal for the annual traditional Royal Shrovetide Football match. In the village there is The Cock Inn, Clifton (Holy Trinity) Church as well as a Cricket club. Clifton has Clifton C of E Primary School and is within the QEGs catchment for senior school. There is a nearby thriving independent garden Centre called Fairways, which has a restaurant and homewares department.

Owner's perspective - Clifton is a beautiful quiet village on the very edge of the Peak District national Park with beautiful walks from right outside the front door in any direction, yet still only minutes from the centre of Ashbourne with its great independent retailers, cafe bars, restaurants & Beer houses. The Royd is a cosy cottage that is cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Nestled in the very centre of the village, close to the local pub and overlooking the beautiful parish church. There's nothing like watching a wedding from your bedroom window, and when the lights are on in the church looking out at night to see the beautiful stained glass windows lit up is simply stunning.
Surrounded by nature in abundance, we are often visited by Bull Finches, Woodpeckers, Wild Partridge, Pheasant, and Owls hooting goodnight. The garden is a peaceful and secluded place to relax in at the end of the day or maybe just sit on the balcony and overlook this beautiful space whilst watching the sun go down...
