Stroll through the picturesque Belper River Gardens or visit Denby Pottery Village (4.5 miles) for shopping and craftsmanship. Whisky and gin aficionados can tour White Peak Distillery (5.5 miles), and car enthusiasts will love the Great British Car Journey (5.5 miles). Carsington Water (9.8 miles), a beautiful reservoir offering activities like sailing, cycling, fishing, and birdwatching, is also nearby.

Other popular destinations include Bakewell (20 miles), Wirksworth (8.8 miles), Chatsworth House (21 miles), Cromford (8.2 miles), and Matlock Bath (9.1 miles).

The cottage, built in the 1790s, is one of five charming cottages with a single sloping roof, reputed to be the oldest of its kind in the world. This delightful retreat boasts many original features and has been lovingly restored to offer all the modern comforts you need.

Stepping into the cottage, you’re greeted by a welcoming porch, perfect for kicking off muddy boots and placing footwear on the shoe rack after a day of exploring. From here, enter the cosy lounge, where original tiled flooring and a crackling wood burner create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The lounge flows seamlessly into the well-equipped kitchen, complete with a small dining table for casual meals. A convenient shower room is also located on this level.

Upstairs, the first floor hosts a versatile middle room with a double sofa bed and a beautiful decorative fireplace, which can serve as a bedroom comfortably sleeping two guests or a second sitting room. A table in this space makes it a great spot for reading, working, or enjoying a board game. This level also features a handy WC. At the top of the cottage, the master bedroom awaits, boasting a sumptuous king-size bed. Throughout the home, lovingly preserved original features and carefully selected artwork add a distinctive and stylish touch.
