About this property

Suited to families and groups of friends looking to explore the nearby Peak District National Park, this abode boasts a private garden and proximity to local amenities and a river. Pull up along the roadside and take a moment to notice the residential surroundings before stepping inside. Enter into the sitting room, where a corner sofa invites you to sink in and relax, set against soft carpeting and warm tones that create a homely feel. Artwork on the walls adds character, giving the space a lived-in charm as you settle in with a film on the Smart TV or unwind after a day out.

Move through into the kitchen and dining area, where a warm ambience continues, complemented by wooden countertops and carefully placed artwork. Here, you can prepare meals with ease, lay the table, and gather together to enjoy food or plan the next day’s outing, with the space lending itself well to both dining and catching up over a drink. Head upstairs at the end of the day to find three bedrooms, each carpeted and styled with artwork on the walls, creating cushy spaces to rest and recharge. Whether you choose a double or the single room, each offers a welcoming place to unwind with a book or drift off to sleep.

The bathroom provides a handy spot to freshen up, with the choice of a bath or shower to suit your routine. Step outside into the rear garden, where seating offers a place to enjoy a quiet drink or a slow morning start before heading out. A short stroll brings you to a nearby shop and pub, while a gentle walk leads you towards a local river for a change of pace. For exploring further afield, the Peak District National Park lies within easy reach, where you can follow winding walking trails, take in sweeping views across rolling hills, and pause among striking natural rock formations.
