Characterful and charming, this rustic barn conversion in the heart of the Derbyshire countryside creates a wonderfully peaceful escape for couples, friends or small families. The property is in a tranquil rural setting surrounded by rolling fields, wildlife and farm animals. You aren’t far from Ashover village (1.5 miles), which gives you a taste of traditional Peak District life, with welcoming pubs and scenic walks. A little further afield, enjoy peaceful strolls around Ogston Reservoir (6 miles) or explore the wooded trails of Linacre Reservoirs (9 miles). Head to the lively towns of Matlock and Matlock Bath (5 miles) for riverside walks, cafés and independent shops. History fans will love visiting Cromford (8 miles), part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Iconic destinations such as the Chatsworth Estate (12 miles), Bakewell (15 miles) and Haddon Hall (16 miles) are all within easy reach for memorable days out.
Inside, the property has an atmospheric open-plan living space with exposed stone walls and high ceilings, creating a sociable setting for relaxing together. A fully equipped cook's kitchen and living area form a welcoming hub, with comfortable seating including two separate sofa beds – perfect for unwinding beside the wood burner’s warm glow. The first of the king-size bedrooms is on the ground floor, sitting just off the main space (one small step up into the bedroom) along with a spacious wet room. The second bedroom is accessed via the original external stone steps, leading to a king-size bedroom with a free-standing bath in the room and an en-suite WC.
Outside, there’s plenty of space for relaxing when the weather’s nice. To the front, a cobbled courtyard provides a lovely spot for morning coffee or relaxed dining, while to the rear, you’ll find a shared, covered outdoor kitchen space complete with a pizza oven, BBQ for sociable evenings under the stars. Private parking for up to three cars is available on-site.
