This spacious late 1600s, semi-detached cottage which forms part of a traditional range of farm buildings set around a courtyard is on the northern side of the Golden Valley next to the village of Riddings, providing a fantastic base for families and those with pets. This lovely, traditional home from home is full of charm and has four comfortable bedrooms, two of which have en-suite facilities. Downstairs there’s a cosy sitting room with low ceilings and oak beams where you can relax at the end of the day, a spacious dining room again with low ceilings and oak beams and an open fire, and a lovely farmhouse style breakfast kitchen with quarry tiles, beams and a Belfast sink. There’s a lovely cottage garden to the front and side, perfect for a barbecue and chilling out in the sun. A really fantastic feature of this cottage is it has a paddock and field with walks all the way down into the valley which means you can step out the door and walk into the valley without ever going near a road. Quite amazing when you think it’s situated very conveniently for the local shops, eateries and real ale pubs. Take a stroll around Codnor Park Reservoir, jump on a steam train at the nearby Midland Railway Centre, or even try your hand at carp fishing. There’s a good golf course nearby and plenty of attractions with Matlock, Bakewell and Chatsworth all within easy reach. A superb cottage that you can enjoy at any time of the year.

In the village of Riddings you will find pubs, and a selection of pubs, as well as shops, supermarkets and a Post Office can be found in the town of Alfreton. Matlock is only 10 miles away, offering a range of shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as attractions including Gulliver's Kingdom.
