Enjoy the traditional character of this idyllic Derbyshire cottage, which beautifully combines original features with modern comforts. A rural retreat for friends or families, it’s situated in idyllic countryside among the low-lying hills of the Amber Valley, close to a beautiful reservoir.
The charming features of this stunning property include rugged beams, exposed stonework and planked doors; the occasional vintage and antique piece mingles with stylish contemporary furniture. After a day exploring, kick your shoes off in the boot room and sink into one of the comfortable sofas in the lounge, where a wood burner creates a flickering glow on a winter’s evening. The spacious kitchen has a friendly, farmhouse-style feel, and includes all the appliances you’ll need to whizz up delicious meals, plus a breakfast table that seats four. A more formal dining room accommodates six people in front of another wood burner, perfect for a celebratory supper. Open the French doors to feel really connected to the beautiful garden just outside. Also on the ground floor is a family bathroom, while upstairs there’s a shower room. Three first-floor bedrooms complete the interior, all smartly decorated with stylish colours and carefully chosen textiles, as well as ample storage. The outside space here is really impressive, and includes comfortable seating, loungers and a dining set for al fresco drinks and meals.
The small village of Woolley Moor is located on the edge of the lovely Ogston Reservoir, a Site of Special Scientific Interest that boasts many species of birds. In picturesque Ashover (2 miles) you’ll find country pubs, a coffee shop, a farm shop and a butcher’s, while in Matlock (5 miles) you can indulge in some retail therapy or stroll along the Derwent Gorge to the Victorian spa town of Matlock Bath.
