This historic cottage cleverly blends original features with modern facilities and makes an excellent base for couples or small families with older children looking to get out and about in the Peak District. A short stroll from a charming village with shops and places to eat and drink, it has walks from the doorstep and entrancing views from the seating at the top of the garden.
Set over three storeys, this charming, Grade II-listed terraced cottage offers a cosy atmosphere and a chance to relax and recharge. Unload by the door and re-park in the off-road space nearby, before exploring the delightful interior. You’ll enter straight into the lounge/diner, warmed by a wood burner-effect gas fire and featuring brightly painted wooden window shutters. Snuggle into the cosy seating and enjoy a movie on the TV, or spend the evening gathered around the dining table with its antique bench seat. Head through to the kitchen and you’ll find a compact but well-designed space that includes a microwave for speedy holiday cooking. Cottage-style stairs take you up to the first floor with a shower room and a small (4’) double bedroom. The final bedroom, a full-size double, is on the top floor, boasting a window seat with gorgeous views. The garden is another quirky spot, featuring 34 uneven stone steps taking you up to a gravelled seating area from which you can enjoy distant vistas of rolling hills.
Just 400 metres from the amenities of Cromford village, the cottage is only 0.5 miles from Cromford Mills, a fascinating 18th-century cotton mill with a visitor centre and shops. Join the famous High Peak Trail just 2 miles away, or head into Matlock Bath, 1 mile, to explore the shops and cafes.
