The Old Workshop

About this property

From the mill yard, step through a door and then climb wooden stairs up to the first floor. You emerge into a stunning open plan room that merges contemporary furnishings with the original stone walls of an 18th century mill workshop. Then you look up and marvel at the old drivebelt wheels running through the open roof beams and you are instantly reminded of the incredible heritage of this unique building. An eclectic mix of furniture, fixtures and fittings adorn the open plan living area, whilst the three spacious bedrooms, one of which opens out to a small gravelled terrace with views down to the river, and well-appointed bathrooms are off a corridor on the same floor. Note: This cottage can be booked with Refs. 926727 and 926757, together they sleep 17.

Situated on the borders of North West Derbyshire and Cheshire is the small town of New Mills, forming part of the Derbyshire Peak District. Although the settlement dates back to the 13th Century, the late 20th Century saw the Torrs Riverside Park, often called 'the park under the town' - come into being as a place for recreation and relaxation. To promote tourism in the area, the New Mills Heritage Centre was opened and visitors can enjoy this as well as The Torrs Millennium Walkway, a much-admired bridge set deep within the gorge. Just five miles away is Chapel en le Frith - the Capital of the Peaks - that boasts a cobbled market place complete with historic old stocks. The spa town of Buxton is within easy driving distance and is famous not only for its therapeutic spring water but also for its Pavillion Gardens and splendid Victorian Opera House.
