Locality � Kirk Ireton is widely regarded as one of the most charming and picturesque villages in the Derbyshire Dales. The village, predominantly composed of traditional stone properties, is set on a hillside, offering stunning views of the surrounding countryside. A quintessential linear village, Kirk Ireton stretches along a single road, creating a quaint, village feel.
A prominent feature of the village is Holy Trinity Church, a stunning historical building that dates back to Norman times, offering a glimpse into the village's long and rich history.
For those seeking a warm and welcoming atmosphere, The Barley Mow Inn provides a classic village pub experience. With its traditional charm, it�s a popular spot for both locals and visitors, serving delicious food and a selection of ales in a relaxed and friendly setting.
Kirk Ireton is also home to the Church of England Primary School, (OFSTED: outstanding) which is an essential hub for the village�s younger generation. The school is well-regarded for its nurturing environment, and it falls within the catchment area for Anthony Gell Secondary School in Wirksworth, ensuring that children in the village have access to quality education as they grow.

Its peaceful and timeless atmosphere is enhanced by its location, nestled halfway between Ashbourne and Wirksworth, two unique historic market towns. Ashbourne is known for its market square, Georgian architecture, and the famed Ashbourne to Wirksworth Railway Line. Wirksworth has a thriving arts community.
Kirk Ireton is ideally located near the serene beauty of Carsington Water, which lies just a short distance away, offering opportunities for outdoor activities such as walking, cycling, and water sports.

Owner's perspective - "We love our cottage! We�ve had seven wonderful years here and enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the beautiful countryside. Everyone who stays with us says it�s a special place and very calming.
Some of the things we really like are the original features and the large windows that give a real sense of light and space. Our garden is lovely for entertaining, and the added bonus is lots of parking too. We�ve kept the cottage well maintained. Being a listed building everything has been done correctly, and the Council have been very helpful any time we�ve had questions.
We get plenty of birds in the garden and at night you might hear an owl or two! We have wonderful, elevated views across the valley and also get amazing starry skies (we�ve even watched the odd meteor shower from our lawn).
Kirk Ireton is magical � there are village activities and a great community. We enjoy countryside walks from our doorstep. You can walk to Carsington Water and the Peak District is a 20 minute drive away! Then coming back to the cottage with its log burners is something we really love to do.�
