Sitting next to a peaceful working farm, this sleek, Scani-style lodge is the ideal rural hideaway for small families or romantic couples in search of a chic retreat in the heart of the Derbyshire countryside. Perched at the summit of a hill, this is the best spot from which to unwind to the far-reaching vistas of the region’s rolling fields and woodlands. Lovers of the outdoors are spoiled with walking and cycling trails that lead from the property’s doorstep and weave across the surrounding countryside. For a busier day out, head into Derby (16 miles) to take a relaxing river cruise on a zero-emission, solar-powered boat, or if you’re in search of an adrenaline fix, make a beeline to Tamworth’s Snowdome (15.5 miles) to ski and snowboard. If you have the kids with you, they’ll adore spending a day on the thrilling rides at popular Alton Towers (26 miles). Want to explore more, take one of the many cycle route or hike around the countryside and forestry or just relax to Swadlincote family golf centre 1.2 miles. Staying local you have a fun family day out at Conkers (4 miles), and Twycross Zoo (9 miles). For history lovers try National Memorial Arboretum just 9 miles.
Before stepping into this scenic lodge built from red brick and wood, take a moment to appreciate your stunning, rural surroundings. Head inside to find that the countryside charm continues in the form of floor-to-ceiling windows and doors that frame far-reaching views. Be greeted by underfloor heating after days of Derbyshire rambles and kick off boots in the handy utility room. Walk into the social heart of the home, the light and spacious, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Throw open the bi-fold doors here to let the crisp country air flow in, and rest weary muscles in the lounge space, kicking back on the L-shaped sofa as the Smart TV streams your favourite shows. When stomachs rumble, walk over to the fantastic kitchen space and find all you’ll need to cook up a feast for your loved ones, who can gather at the breakfast bar or at the long dining table to plan the next day’s adventure over food. At the end of each day away, head down the hall and choose from two delightful king-size bedrooms. Both bedrooms are airy and restful, decorated in calming tones and served by the well-appointed family shower room with a walk-in shower, which completes the interior.
Outside awaits a scenic and spacious enclosed garden, offering the best spot to unwind in the afternoon sun and soak up the marvellous views. Find a hot tub and outdoor seating for four on the private patio, which is perfect for peaceful morning coffees and al fresco evening meals together.
