An enticing bolthole at Kniveton, between the southern fringes of the Peak District and Carsington Water, this bijou cottage makes an idyllic, romantic retreat. Perfect for anyone eager to enjoy walks and cycle rides, it is also in a great location for visiting villages, towns and beauty spots. Head 2.5 miles into Ashbourne, with its winding, cobbled streets and colourful shops, or drive 7 miles to Wirksworth, where you can see the enormous StarDisc black granite star chart. Venture 1.5 miles to enter the national park: climb up to Thor’s Cave, a natural cavern in the White Peaks, 12 miles away, and mystic Minninglow, an ancient burial hill topped with a distinctive double ring of beech trees, 6.5 miles away.
Enter the property to find a warm welcome and stylish design. The inviting lounge is a comfortable space, with exposed original stonework, where you can relax together on the soft seating in front of a good film on TV or the DVD player after your long walks. The country-style kitchen/diner has everything you need to whip up delicious dishes with the fresh produce you have bought, plus a central island to dine at. The oak and glass staircase leads down to the lower ground floor, to a stylish hallway, an inviting king-size bedroom benefiting from country views and an adjacent shower room.
Guests at the cottage can soak up the sunshine and the fabulous surroundings out in the garden, which has a patio and a lawn.
