Property code: OC-90972

A luxurious cottage, set in over 500 acres of unspoiled farmland, with views over Carsington Water and within the grounds of a working farm. There are many animals to see on the farm, including cows, sheep, Alpacas along with hens, ducks, geese, cats and dogs. Take the footpath down to Carsington Water and enjoy the waterside walks. For those who like dry land, push your limits on an 8-mile mountain bike course. You will also find a restaurant, playground, shops, bird hides and miles of footpaths and bridleways to explore. Take a trip to the local pub in Brassington (1.7 miles) that can also be accessed on foot over the farm land. Visit towns and villages such as Cromford, Matlock Bath, Bakewell and Buxton, all of which boast an array of shops and restaurants and within a 20 mile radius.

The property itself has the perfect area to decant your muddy boots and coats, whilst being under cover and away from the elements, come rain or shine. Here you can also get those muddy paws ready for a wipe down and enter the hallway. There is a well-equipped utility room and a door that leads into the kitchen. The kitchen and living area all combine to make a lovely open space, where you can enjoy original features like beams and exposed stone. There is more than enough comfortable seating, and a dining area to enjoy in this space, and a wonderful feature window that gives a nod to the history of the property. Upstairs there are two rooms, one with a king-sized bed and a sofa bed, offering sleeping for three. This is a large spacious room with a dragon fly theme and a calm and peaceful setting. There is also a room that offers two good sized singles. A family shower room is also on this floor.

Outside there is a courtyard with rattan furniture, and a wonderful hot tub at the front of the cottage where you can relax after a day exploring. There is also a trampoline, slide and climbing frame for the children to enjoy.

Lovely cottage to relax for a weekend away, we had a great time and enjoyed the hot tub. Great walk from the cottage down to Carsington Water through the fields, walking notes in the cottage and owners were really helpful in showing us where to go and took us to meet the Alpacas and Goats who were very friendly
