About this property
Matlock 2 miles. This lovely stone barn conversion is situated next to the owners’ 17th century farmhouse, on their working arable farm, high up on Matlock Moor, just two miles north of the beautiful spa town of Matlock. Tastefully furnished, this cosy cottage is ideal for walkers, as trails run right through the farm and past the doorstep, and those who take their walk following a small white ball around will feel chipper knowing that the prestigious Matlock Golf Club is just 130 yards away. The sitting room with dining area has wooden flooring and is a sociable place to enjoy a meal and to snuggle up on the big squishy sofa in front of the woodburner-effect stove. Step through to the well-equipped kitchen with breakfast bar, where you will find everything you need to create a culinary masterpiece, or fuel up in preparation for the many and varied adventurous days the area has to offer. On the first floor is a double bedroom and a convertible twin room for flexibility, which have lots of natural light, and there’s also a contemporary shower room off the landing. Outside is a large lawn, so you can sit and watch the sun go down with a glass of something you fancy. Close by is the popular town of Matlock, along with the neighbouring Matlock Bath, where you will find a number of shops, pubs and restaurants, along with the attractions of Gulliver’s Kingdom and the Peak District Mining Museum. Also within reach are the towns of Bakewell, Ashbourne and Buxton, as well as the magnificent Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall. A comfortable base for your Peak District getaway.
