A beautiful example of a Derbyshire stone cottage, filled with character and charm and nestled next to a 17th-century pub in a peaceful hamlet. You are spoilt for choice for walks and places to eat, with the pub next door and another great pub at the end of the road, both serving splendid local ales and good food. Winster, just over 2 miles away, has a great local shop for your kitchen essentials and fabulous local produce. Sitting perfectly between Bakewell (5.4 miles) and Matlock (7.7 miles), you get to experience some of the best locations in the Peak District, with Bakewell famous for its pudding and tarts, and Matlock and Matlock Bath offerings Abraham Heights, Caves and Caverns and local independent shops. Chatsworth House and Gardens is just over 7 miles away, along with a parkland, a farm, and it also hosts various events throughout the year.
The house itself if full of original features and character, including beamed ceilings, stone fireplaces and exposed stone walls.
