About this property
A delightful three bedroom converted coach house in the centre of the picturesque Staffordshire village of Church Leigh, near the southern tip of the Peak District National Park. Set in the grounds of the owners home, this beautiful brick-built conversion is tastefully furnished throughout and is the perfect place for couples and families to enjoy a peaceful retreat or as a base to explore the surrounding countryside. The modern open plan kitchen and dining area with granite work surfaces and polished porcelain flooring is a fantastic space for socialising. From here French windows open into the sheltered courtyard and garden where children can play safely and you can sit in the sun and enjoy a glass of something refreshing with birds and church bells supplying the background music. The sitting room is a comfortable and cosy place to sit and chat or just gaze into the mesmerising designer fireplace, a modern take on a log burning stove. The three bedrooms are furnished with quality beds and furniture and one has an en-suite shower room. The bathroom is light, contemporary and finished to a very high standard. Staying close to your home-from-home you can decide whether to be saint or sinner as one neighbour is the beautiful All Saints Church and the other is the village pub! If you can tear yourself away, venture a little further to explore Ashbourne with its narrow cobbled alleys, market stalls and coaching inns. There are lots of lovely villages to explore and walks to enjoy such as stunning Dovedale and the abbey ruins at Croxden. Alton Towers is just 9 miles away or maybe enjoy a day at Uttoxeter Races, a mere 7 miles canter away. Whatever the season and whatever the weather, this luxury cottage makes for a great holiday.
Steeped in history and situated at the southern end of the Peak District, is the lovely village of Church Leigh with a beautiful Norman church. With Uttoxeter Racecourse and Alton Towers within very easy reach, this is a lovely village for a holiday.

Using Google maps the post code took me straight to the location. We stayed here after needing something to comfortably host 6, inc young children whilst we was attending a wedding and then decided to bulk out our stay with alton towers (20min drive) and the peak wildlife park (30 min drive) etc. The coach house has a decent size garden space which was brill and safe for my 5yr old to be out side. Very clean and modern inside, beds were really comfy, bathrooms were very clean as was the kitchen. Everything you would need in kitchen and more. Everything was as expected pictures are accurate. We ordered takeaway a few nights from looking on just eat/ uber eat - no problem. Overall very pleasant stay. âºï¸

There is a small shop and pub, the pub does not do food but there is one at Whithington a 10 minuet walk away. The house has comfy beds and good bathrooms a large kitchen with everything you need. The only thing that let it down was the garden and court yard area which could do with a little TLC, overall a very nice place to stay.

. Extremely fresh and clean, a very pleasant environment in all areas inside and out. Hosts Andrew and Margaret could not have been any nicer, quite unobtrusive, but there if you needed them.
