About this property
For those looking for a slice of rural life, this cottage is a real gem. With original features, you will find this a home away from home in a splendid village location.
Litton can be described as one of the most attractive villages in the Peak District with many late 17th and 18th century houses full of character set around a large village green where you can find an ancient cross, old wooden stocks and a quaint village pub. Every year in late June, Litton has its Well Dressing Festival. Celebrations last all week with maypole dancing displays by local school children and Morris dancing alongside local brass bands. For the walking enthusiasts, the area boasts some of the most beautiful dales and valleys in the Peak District.
