About this property
With the centre of Bakewell just 2.5 miles away, this contemporary, dog-friendly cottage is perfectly placed for adventures in the Peak District with family or friends. Pull on your walking boots and head for the footpath, just 100 metres away, for a walk to the local pub (2 miles) or ramble through fields and open countryside to Lathkill Dale, Over Haddon, Sheldon, Monyash, Ashford-in-the-Water and Bakewell (all between 2 and 5 miles). An array of eateries, shops and attractions are available in the beautiful market town of Bakewell (2.5 miles), while days out can also be enjoyed at Chatsworth House (6.5 miles), Haddon Hall (7 miles) and the elegant spa town of Buxton (11 miles).
This attractive barn conversion is the largest in a complex of similar properties, all set around a pretty courtyard. Enter into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, where the farmhouse dining table offers plenty of space for eight to tuck into delicious meals cooked in the well-equipped single-wall kitchen. Sip your morning coffee at the breakfast bar, and in the evenings, retire to the lounge area next to the kitchen to relax in the sinkable sofas and armchair. Fire up the wood burner and switch on the TV for a movie night. A ground-floor double bedroom is found off the dining area. A staircase leads up to a twin bedroom with characterful exposed beams and an en-suite shower room. Also on this level is the family bathroom, while the final, king-size bedroom is located up a further short, curved set of steps. This room is bright and spacious, with a vaulted ceiling, wooden bed, and en-suite bathroom with bath and separate shower.
A rustic outdoor seating area can be accessed via the upstairs landing, affording wonderful views of the large guest garden. The guest garden is a shared space for all on-site guests to enjoy, with garden games in the shed, BBQ and large picnic tables. Elsewhere, make the most of the two dog paddocks, a circular walk around a field, and natural spaces designed to encourage wildlife. Within the courtyard, a shared games room features a pool table, table football, table tennis, board games and a children’s toy corner. Bikes can be stored in the shared shelter.
