Parwich, Ashbourne

Hallcliffe House has been restored to the highest standard whilst retaining all of the charm and character of this wonderful Grade II listed property being of architectural and historic importance.

Located opposite an open green with views of the church and enjoying the privacy and amenity of a 1.25 acre landscaped garden, the property also benefits from income generation via an attached holiday cottage and a barn conversion within the curtilage which historically has been successfully let long term.
