3 Bed Cottage in Bakewell

About this property

Nestled in the pretty village of Baslow, set back from the road to the front and with the river at the rear, this is the perfect escape for families and couples who are seeking to relax explore the delights of Derbyshire. Wandering the village, you'll find quirky boutiques and cosy old inns that make it feel like stepping back in time. Chatsworth House is just 2.5 miles away, and it's easy to lose a morning exploring the ornate rooms, the sculpture-filled gardens, or catching one of their seasonal events. Try the famous pudding from Bakewell (4 miles), where you can enjoy a walk along the River Derwent. Ramble your way to the top of Bamford Edge (10 miles) to experience showstopping views across the Peak District. Keen birdwatchers can view an abundance of wildlife at Wyming Brook Nature Reserve (11.5 miles), including the bullfinch, wood warblers and the spotted flycatcher.

Kick off your shoes in the spacious hallway before entering the home-from-home lounge. Characterful beams, a central fireplace and cosy colours that invite you to slow down and unwind as you catch your favourite TV show or map out holiday activities. The quirky kitchen is kitted out in vibrant blues and stone accents, creating an ideal backdrop for culinary creativity. Perch at the barstools while grabbing a light bite or spread out around the six-person dining table to tuck into Derbyshire treats. After dinner, the garden room is a delightful spot for board games and river views. When it's time to rest, the first floor boasts two thoughtfully designed bedrooms, a super-king-size and a king-size bedroom. Another pretty king-size bedroom is on the ground floor. All three bedrooms are serviced by a sleek bathroom with a bath, shower and WC on the first floor with an additional WC on the ground floor.

Outside, you'll be met with an enclosed patio with dining furniture for al fresco eating. Bubble away in your hot tub, too, while gazing out over the river. Private off road parking is available for two cars.
