About this property

Set within the peaceful countryside of the Peak District, The Old Hen Shed offers a beautiful home away from home with ample space for big celebrations and plenty of cosy corners for a romantic break away. With the array of walking and cycling routes from the doorstep, you can easily explore the beautiful surrounding countryside too.

Once part of the village farm, this beautiful barn conversion has been lovingly renovated to include all of the home comforts you would expect, whilst retaining its rural countryside heritage and charm. The stylish interiors have been seamlessly blended with the exposed beams and bespoke items sourced from the local carpenter.

The Old Hen Shed welcomes you into the beautiful open-plan kitchen and dining area. The well-equipped kitchen is a spacious and homely area, equipped for even the keenest of chefs, and is the perfect place to cook up your favourite meal or spend an afternoon baking with the little ones. The kitchen boasts a Nespresso coffee machine too, so you can sit and enjoy a morning coffee in solitude, whilst the house awakens around you. The dining area is a bright and airy space, with ample space for big celebrations or intimate dinners together. Stone steps lead down into the cosy sitting room, that offers a sumptuous velvet sofa and a cosy electric wood burning stove, so you can curl up together in front of the Smart television and watch your favourite movie, or relax and read a book. The large french doors lead out to the rear garden and offer uninterrupted views of the Peak District countryside. There is also a utility room and cloakroom downstairs too.

Upstairs are two well-appointed and stylish bedrooms, both of which enjoy an en-suite bath or shower room. The principle bedroom offers a king-size bed and en-suite bathroom; whilst the second bedroom has a zip and link king-size bed that can be configured as twin singles if required, along with an en-suite shower room; making The Old Hen Shed the perfect place for a couples retreat, or a well-needed family holiday.

Heading outside, the south-facing front patio area has ample garden furniture, perfect for alfresco dining or enjoying an evening tipple whilst admiring the beautiful views. To the rear of The Old Hen Shed is the lawned garden area, fully-enclosed and the perfect place for the children to explore and play, whilst the grown-ups relax on the comfortable garden furniture or fire up the barbecue. Guests of The Old Hen Shed have access to private off-road parking for up to two cars and there is also a secure bicycle storage area for those wanting to make the most of the local cycling routes.

Located in the quaint village of Taddington in the Peak District National Park, the wonders of Derbyshire are on your doorstep. Take advantage of the bus routes to local towns such as Bakewell and Buxton with an abundance of boutique shops and pretty cafes, or step out of the front doors of Beech Farm Barns and head on an adventure via one of the many walking and cycling routes. The local village pub, the Queen's Arms is only a short walk away too and serves delicious food and local ales.
