Situated high up on a hill reached via a winding country lane this is the perfect location to get away from it all, yet being close to the various amenities of Matlock which is less than a mile away. Matlock has a variety of shops, cafes, restaurants, pubs, a weekly market, river walks, and parks. In Autumn the Matlock Bath illuminations and firework display are a spectacular event. The property is 9 miles away from the home of the Bakewell pudding in the pretty riverside town of Bakewell. Chatsworth House and Gardens are also 8 miles away and provide a fabulous day out.  During November Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall have fabulous Christmas markets and other events through the year.

Step into the open-plan accommodation which offers an impressive, vaulted ceiling with exposed wooden beams. Relax on the comfy sofas around the wall-mounted Smart TV or come together and play a board game on the dining table which is a beautiful feature within the accommodation, offering bench seating and a farmhouse table. Light the wood-burner in the chillier months which makes the open-plan space toasty and warm and relax with a good book or maybe a movie. The kitchen area offers everything you need to rustle up a memorable meal, including an electric oven and gas hob, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and microwave. The king-size bed is situated under a picture window offering beautiful views across the valley. There is a shower room with a wet room-style shower, and WC.

There is a pretty stone-flagged terrace directly outside the barn with BBQ, seating, and parasol, providing a delightful spot to sit and enjoy the summer sun. There is a lawned area with further seating to sit and enjoy the peace and tranquillity that surround you. Off-road parking for 2 cars.
