Located in rural countryside in the grounds of the owners 135 acres property. This is truly an outstanding location in which to relax and enjoy some spectacular views in barn conversions which have been sympathetically and very individually restored. The farm and buildings, Grade 11 listed, date back to the 14th century, once a medieval monastic sheep farm belonging to Garendon Abbey which is in secluded surroundings . On the edge of Biggin Dale, which leads into Wolfscote Dale, Dovedale and beyond, this is an ideal base for both walking and cycling, from the doorstep, in this very picturesque area of the Peak National Park. Centrally located the Tissington and Manifold Trails are both nearby, along with the country houses of Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall, Kedleston Hall, Sudbury and Tissington Hall. The cottages are accessed from a long sweeping drive. |
