Escape to the Derbyshire countryside in this converted cow shed in the heart of the Peak District National Park, just over 3 miles from the village of Tideswell. Sleeping up to five guests in an open-plan bedroom, it’s the ideal base for couples, families and groups of friends who love outdoor adventure. There are some lovely walks in and around the village through the limestone uplands, the nature reserve at Tideswell Dale and the famous Chee Dale stepping stones, which are just two miles from the property. After a long walk, refuel in one of the village’s traditional country pubs. Alternatively, journey into Buxton or Bakewell (within 10 miles), both of which have a fabulous array of independent eateries. Nearby days out include Padley Gorge (12 miles) and Curbar Edge (11 miles), as well as the fascinating ‘plague village’ of Eyam (8 miles). There are some excellent attractions within easy reach, such as Chatsworth House, the Heights of Abraham, and the show caves of Castleton (all within 20 miles).
The detached, stone farm building is reached via two steps and has been sympathetically transformed into a stylish holiday home, whilst retaining the property’s original character and charm. On the ground floor, discover an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with ample space for socialising and relaxing together. Spend time here, preparing hearty feasts in the kitchen area using fresh, local ingredients, before sitting down at the rustic dining table for a meal to remember. In the evenings, sink into one of the plump sofas to read your book or watch a movie on the Smart TV. A beautiful wooden staircase leads to the first floor, which is home to a large, open-plan bedroom with wooden floors, characterful exposed beams, and whitewashed stone walls. Here, you’ll find two inviting double beds and a single bed. The property has two contemporary shower rooms – one on the ground floor and one upstairs.
Outside, extensive, unenclosed grounds envelop the property, with a choice of seating areas for relaxing in the sunshine and enjoying an al fresco supper on summer’s evenings. There’s also a lawn area where children can play, as well as an enclosed field space which can be used for exercising dogs. Private parking is available for three cars on the driveway.
