Topshill

About this property

Topshill Cottage is a charming cottage in a wonderfully peaceful location with breathtaking views over the Ecclesbourne Valley. Created from a mellow stone barn it offers super accommodation with a spacious, beamed lounge and dining area, gathered around a glowing log burning stove, quality bedroom, lovely shower room and well equipped kitchen.

Set at the end of a quiet hawthorn clad lane with beautiful countryside all around you will think you are in the middle of nowhere. Yet the attractive village of Kirk Ireton with its stores, post office and famous pub is just a short walk away. Wirksworth, which is a brilliant little historic town, is also close by as is Ashbourne with its colourful market and lots of interesting shops. Carsington's wild water sports, Matlock Bath's exciting cable cars, Peak Rail's steam trains and the National Tramway Museum are to be found in the surrounding hills.

More traditional days out can be had in and around the Peak District, perhaps exploring Chatsworth House, visiting Haddon Hall or venturing out to Hardwick Hall. But make sure you get back in time for a 'real ale' from the jug in the Barley Mow before a last glass or two in the cottage garden under a night time canopy of stars.
