Enjoy some quality time with your nearest and dearest at this fabulous farmhouse sitting on a pretty complex of properties just 2 miles outside the village of Brassington. Sleeping four people over two bedrooms, this is the ideal rural retreat for small families or groups of friends who are searching for a welcoming cottage to call home while they discover the magnificent Derbyshire Dales together. Spend a fun day paddleboarding or canoeing at the beautiful reservoir at Carsington Water, and in the evening, come home to your cottage’s patio to soak up the country views as you dine alfresco.
Step inside this beautiful stone farmhouse and you’ll find yourself in a chic panelled hallway that leads to a bright and cheerful lounge with flagstone flooring and a wood burner. When it’s time to eat, head to the sleek kitchen/diner to whip up some dinner, which you can enjoy at the charming, church pew-style dining area. Alternatively, step outside and dine alfresco on the pretty patio. After dinner, head back to the lounge to stretch out in front of your favourite TV shows. When the day is done, make your way upstairs and you’ll find two cosy king-size bedrooms, both with stylish en-suite shower rooms. In the morning, start your day the right way with a freshly-brewed coffee as you take in the country views from the patio. Guests will also find ample private parking.
Head into the pretty market to town of Wirksworth (3 miles) to explore its intricate network of narrow lanes. Browse the shops, explore the Heritage Centre, or take a trip to Duffield on the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway. Alternatively, get your adrenaline kick on the rides at Gulliver’s Kingdom Resort (5.5 miles) – if you have the kids with you, they’ll love it.
