Locality - Longford is a charming and relatively small village situated in the southern part of the Derbyshire Dales, surrounded by rolling countryside and a scenic network of rural lanes, including the notable Long Lane. Just 6 miles from the market town of Ashbourne and around 10 miles from the city of Derby, Longford lies within an area fondly referred to by locals as the "Golden Triangle"—an attractive region known for its desirable rural living, yet excellent accessibility.
The village is primarily centred along Main Street, which becomes Longford Lane as it leads eastwards, and is home to a close-knit community. Longford offers a peaceful village lifestyle while still providing some key amenities, including the well-regarded Longford Church of England Primary School. While the village itself is tranquil, further facilities and services can be found in nearby towns such as Ashbourne and Derby.
The surrounding area is ideal for countryside walks, cycling, and equestrian activities, making it particularly appealing to outdoor enthusiasts and families seeking a rural yet connected lifestyle. The wider Derbyshire Dales and Peak District National Park are also within easy reach, offering further opportunities to enjoy the region’s natural beauty.

Owner's perspective - "We have lived in Longford for nearly 20 years and our current home for 10 years, we have brought up our daughter here, owned our horse and a dog so the setting was perfect. Living in our current home has always delivered the perfect balance of a peaceful and picturesque countryside setting with easily accessible transport links including the A50, M1 and the M6 with the added bonus of Longford being just over 10 minutes to Derby. When we brought our home it had all the right spaces for us and ticked everything on our “ wish list “ which included a social family breakfast kitchen, spacious living room, home office and gym spaces with parking for 6 cars and unspoilt countryside views, if we could pick up our home and move it closer to where our daughter now lives, which is our reason for moving we certainly would, it’s been a happy home for our family and I am sure it will be for the next owners."
