This traditional stone barn, formerly a stable for shire horses, has been sympathetically modernised to eco-friendly standards whilst still retaining its authentic rustic charm. This wonderful family holiday home boasts a warming wood burner in the cosy lounge and an enclosed garden with a BBQ for al fresco dining, accompanied by far-reaching countryside views.
Pass through the grand entrance door into the inviting hallway, finished with herringbone brick flooring that leads to the kitchen/diner. Crafted from seasoned oak planks sourced from the farm, the kitchen exudes rural elegance and features marble worktops. Adjacent, a dining table comfortably seating six invites shared meals. A separate utility room offers ample space to dry outdoor gear, while a convenient cloakroom adds to the practicality. The lounge has plush seating, a crackling wood burner and French windows that offer enchanting vistas of the Peak District fields beyond. Climb the open tread staircase to the spacious landing, showcasing the barn's original beams and exposed brickwork. Three inviting bedrooms await – two doubles and a twin, one with an en-suite shower room. The family bathroom promises a soothing retreat after a day's exploration and completes the internal layout. Outside, the enclosed garden invites relaxation, equipped with a charcoal BBQ and locally-crafted garden furniture—an ideal setting for al fresco dining surrounded by sweeping 180-degree panoramas of the Peak District National Park.
