Its proximity to rolling hills, tranquil footpaths and the scenic Manifold Trail ensures that outdoor enthusiasts and explorers will find endless adventures right from their doorstep. Offering flexible accommodation for up to four people along with a hot tub beneath the stars, it will appeal to couples and small families who love rural charm – with a touch of luxury.
This historic property has been lovingly restored to combine rustic heritage with comfort and style. Exposed beams and stone-flagged floors – complete with underfloor heating – create a calm and welcoming ambience. With sturdy wooden cabinets and high-quality appliances, the bespoke kitchen is a dream for keen chefs. Two steps lead down into the dining room where an antique table sits next to patio doors, before heading into a lovely lounge with soft sofas, a roaring wood burner. Completing the ground floor is a handy WC. Upstairs, two inviting bedrooms sit beneath sloping eaves, a king-size and a room with zip-and-link beds offering flexibility. A lovely family bathroom completes the interior. Outside, the extensive patio is a highlight, featuring a private hot tub for four, dining furniture, a BBQ and a sloping lawn, all with rural views. Guests also benefit from access to the owner’s woodland, complete with river and ponds.
