Owner's perspective - "Flat 6 at Madge House has been an excellent property to own and manage, particularly as a successful Airbnb. Its central Ashbourne location has consistently been a major draw for guests, with shops, cafés, restaurants, and the surrounding Peak District all easily accessible. The flat is bright, well laid out, and easy to maintain, which has made turnovers straightforward while still providing guests with a comfortable and welcoming stay. Madge House itself is well kept and quiet, giving visitors a sense of privacy despite being so close to the town centre. It has performed reliably as a short-term let and would suit anyone looking for a property that works equally well as an investment or a personal home."
