Description
Tastefully converted genuine old Hayloft dating back to the 18th century set in a peaceful hamlet midway between MATLOCK and BAKEWELL amidst beautiful countryside with wonderful views in all directions. The Hayloft nestles in lovely gardens just below Stanton Moor and the Druid’s Nine Ladies Stone Circle, with the use of a 3.1/2 acre private paddock with free-range chickens – lovely brown eggs available with that long-forgotten flavour!
The Hayloft is completely self-contained and overlooks the quaint and colourful south-facing courtyard full of various cottage garden and climbing plants where you can sit and enjoy a glass of wine.
A wealth of natural stonework, original king post truss and old pine timber framing give an olde worlde atmosphere to the high class accommodation which has been beautifully restored, decorated and equipped to a luxurious standard with antique pine furniture throughout, but also providing all modern facilities. An open-plan sitting room which has been recently luxuriously re-carpeted includes a comfy cream sofa and easy chair, TV/video and radio/CD player, a dining area and fully equipped farmhouse style pine kitchen with oven and hob, microwave and full size fridge-freezer all making for your utmost comfort. The views from the kitchen window take in the old steam trains of Peak Rail, Darley Hillside and the rolling countryside towards Beeley Moor.
There is a spacious, character double bedroom including an original antique Victorian brass & iron bed with a comfortable double 10” thick mattress, bed-side tables, fitted wardrobe and chest of drawers. The dressing area overlooks the courtyard, and has panoramic views of the fields and woods beyond. An en-suite shower room completes the accommodation.
