We adore the beautiful, lovingly tended rear garden which has a Cotswolds feel thanks to the large stone building bordering the left hand side.
Shirland is an historic village which featured in the Domesday Book. Ogston Reservoir offers pleasant local walks nearby and the delights of the Derbyshire Dales and Peak District are a short cycle or drive away.
