About this property
Come together and celebrate at this spacious detached property with lots to keep you entertained such as beautiful grounds, snooker table and magnificent views providing you with a want for nothing escape to the country.
Ideally located on the fringes of Matlock town with an abundance of independent restaurants, cafes, pubs and shops to explore all within easy reach of the property. The next town along is Matlock Bath (2.5 miles) which offers a huge selection of cafes and ice cream parlours and is also the starting point for the cable car that takes you to the Heights of Abraham. Each Saturday in autumn, there is a parade of boats with illuminations and fireworks. Within a short drive from the property, guests will find themselves at the gate of Chatsworth House Gardens (8.5 miles) and Haddon Hall (7 miles). For an afternoon of exploring, the pretty market town of Bakewell (9 miles) on the River Wye is a lovely way to spend an afternoon.

The snug offers comfortable seating and impressive views through the bay window to the garden and beyond. With a beautiful fireplace offering an open fire which is magical in the winter months. Unwind in the lounge with ample comfortable seating and wall mounted TV, and put your feet up while taking in the views or enjoy a good book while the open fire crackles away. Walk through the library, which offers a host of books and games to spark some interest on a rainy day, to reach arguably the best room in the house which is the garden room. The floor to ceiling windows capture the surrounding views perfectly and provide a wonderful backdrop to the dining table, which will comfortably seat 16.
