2. North Avenue, Ashbourne
Jaw-dropping views from the peak of the avenue is just one reason why this road is one of the most desirable in Derbyshire. Ashbourne town centre is just 10 minutes walk away, where you will find a vibrant community-led shopping centre in the Market Place. Idyllic setting aside, Ashbourne is also known for its fabulous quirky factor - the annual Royal Shrovetide football match takes place where hundreds gather and support the age old tradition of getting a 'goal by scrum'. | Ria Ghei

3. Darley Street, Darley Abbey Derby
Darley Street in the village of Darley Abbey is another hotspot where people are keen to call home. Based on the banks of River Derwent, Darley Street is filled with beautiful architecture, country cottage styled housing and winding cobblestone streets. Nearby Darley Park with its acclaimed hydrangea collection - it is the largest in Britain and the third largest in the world - spans an expansive 80 acres. Tranquility abounds in Darley Abbey, and being just two miles away from energetic Derby city centre offers the perfect spot for city dwellers seeking a slice of zen.
