Owner's perspective - "We have loved living at Chestnut House for 25 years and are only leaving to downsize as we aren’t getting any younger and the family have flown the nest! Our children loved the space and it is now enjoyed by our visiting grandchildren. The house has been great for many wider family gatherings and parties.
Hollington represents true, classic, quiet country living yet we are around 10 minutes from Ashbourne and 20 minutes from Derby. We also have walks on the doorstep as well as easy access to the Peak District.
The village community spirit is brilliant with the famous Red Lion pub at its heart. We will be very sad to leave! "
