Location – The picturesque village of Shirley is nestled within the rolling countryside of the Derbyshire Dales, offering a tranquil rural setting while remaining highly accessible. Surrounded by open fields and scenic walking routes, Shirley is a quintessential Derbyshire village with a welcoming community spirit. The village is home to a charming parish church, a popular country pub (The Saracen’s Head), and enjoys a rich sense of heritage.
Despite its peaceful surroundings, Shirley is conveniently located just a short drive from the historic market town of Ashbourne, known for its fine Georgian architecture, boutique shops, cafes, and local amenities. The village is also well-positioned for access to the A52, providing links to Derby and the wider region. For those who love the outdoors, the nearby Peak District National Park offers outstanding opportunities for walking, cycling, and exploring some of the most beautiful countryside in England.

Owner's perspective - "We love living in our old cottage within the village of Shirley. The pretty garden is private and not overlooked. We have particularly enjoyed the renovation and letting of the annex and its income. We are sad that the time has come to leave the cottage and the village with its friendly people and community spirit.
We hope that the next owners will enjoy the cottage and life in Shirley as much as we have."
