This pretty cottage is perfect for families and friends who want a relaxing break in a sleepy village with the most delightful surrounding countryside just waiting to be explored.
Welcome to this historic property nestled in a picture-postcard, rural village in the South Derbyshire Dales. It’s perfect for a group of four friends and two dogs ready to explore the wonderful surrounding countryside and the Peak District National Park. Whether you’re a cyclist, walker, hiker or nature lover, there is an abundance of things to do and places to see in the area.
Oozing character and style, this traditional cottage has been converted from a pump house once serving the village. The pretty lounge has comfortable seating and a large SkyTV with DVD and sound bar - perfect for cosy evenings in watching your favourite series or a film. Head through to the well-equipped kitchen, which also has a four-seater table so you can all sit and enjoy a homecooked meal together. To the rear of the cottage is a peaceful lawned garden, surrounded by mature plants, and a patio with table and chairs.
The small village of Longford is nestled within what’s known as the ‘Derbyshire Golden Triangle’, surrounded by picturesque countryside and 1 mile from the nearest pub. Walkers, cyclists and nature lovers will enjoy the routes leading from the doorstep of this property, and if you travel 7 miles north, you’ll be able to access the plethora of trails in the Peak District. Head to Foremark Reservoir (12.5 miles), a 230-acre nature reserve ideal for walking, fishing and sailing. You can also try your hand at windsurfing or stand-up paddleboarding. If you’re real adrenaline seekers, spend a day at the magical Alton Towers (12 miles).
