The epitome of interior luxury and design, this former forge has been renovated to the highest of standards and provides an impressive retreat for those wanting to immerse themselves in stunning surroundings, both inside and out. Nestled in High Peak, near the Goyt Valley, with the rugged and charming Peak District on the doorstep, you are perfectly placed to explore the breathtaking region of natural beauty. The local town is well stocked with businesses offering everything you need for your countryside retreat, along with a number of pubs and eateries. Pack your walking boots and from the property, meander around the Sett Valley Way; a trail offering spectacular views around Birch Vale Reservoir whilst gazing upon Lantern Pike. If you prefer two wheels, bring your bike and head down to Torrs Riverside Park to discover the Millennium Walkway. There is a whole host of recreational pursuits to be enjoyed nearby, from fishing, golf and even an indoor pool, along with National Trust Lyme Park (4.5 miles) and the historic spa town of Buxton (10 miles).
Opening the door to this stunningly adorned, single-level property will certainly take your breath away. Elegantly framed with a long, continuous, oak beam, this old building showcases its original features whilst adding contemporary quality and interior design know-how in all the right places. Running the length of the expansive open-plan living area is a sleek kitchen that sits proud against the reclaimed and exposed brick wall, complete with everything you need from coffee machine to dishwasher. Nestled in the corner is a stylish dining room table, perfect for those cosy evening gatherings with delicious food and conversation. A luxurious sofa takes centre stage for relaxation around an electric heater in the fashion of a vintage stove. A statement chandelier hangs above and provides not only ambient light but a beautiful feature to admire. All around, the walls are adorned with local artwork. Two large bedrooms are set off the main living area – a king-size and a twin – both containing unique, solid antique wardrobes and decorated to the highest standard. The king-size bedroom boasts a large Smart TV which retracts into the foot of the bed at the push of a button, perfect for those lazy mornings, or cosy winter nights. The light, stylish bathroom offers a shower over the bath, a WC and a basin. For evening entertainment, you have several board games, a speaker, or the Smart TV if you’d prefer to relax to your favourite film. There is also a large cupboard to store any extras you may want to bring along.
Outside, make the most of the sunshine in the secure, gated courtyard which is screened for privacy from the adjoining properties. The boot scraper is handy when you return from rambling in the countryside, while the bench offers a relaxing spot to enjoy your morning coffee. Roadside parking is available on the slight hill on which the property is set, or at the bottom.
