Look out across the open fields of Derbyshire from this delightful, stone cottage near Kelstedge. Sleeping four guests, the dog-friendly, three-bedroom retreat is nestled in attractive grounds where the owner’s former windmill is also situated. Set in rural surroundings, some 6.5 miles from the Peak District National Park and 5 miles from Chesterfield, the cottage comes with its own private patio for outside dining and access to a green, open space where children can play.
Step inside to find a cosy, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner at the heart of this holiday home. Slide open the patio doors to bring in a fresh country breeze on summer days. Sink back into the plump sofa to play a board game or watch a family film on the TV. Prepare tasty meals over in the compact kitchen area, which has been cleverly designed to incorporate everything you will need during your stay. Dine together at the table inside or sit down to your delicious Derbyshire dishes out in the fresh air. When you are ready to retire for the night, discover a double bedroom, family shower room and separate WC are all downstairs. Two staircases from the main living area each lead up to a single bedroom, both with sloping ceilings. Have breakfast out on the patio on fine mornings as you take in the verdant views. Cook out on the BBQ on fine evenings and enjoy a bottle of chilled wine as the sun goes down. There is private parking here for two cars.
Venture 6.5 miles to the famous Heights of Abraham, where you can enter the country park via cable car, then explore the caverns and enjoy long woodland walks. Head 13 miles to Carsington Water to try your hand at paddle boarding or canoeing or to hire bicycles.
