Cottage in Derbyshire Peak District National Park

The cottage is on a small lane above the village of Grindleford, with south facing views across the Hope Valley to Frogatt Edge. We are surrounded by the beautiful countryside of the Peak District.

The original 2-roomed semi-detached gritstone cottage was built 200 years ago and had two additions. There are steps between parts of the house, with hand rails to assist less mobile adults. There is a main bedroom, and one small bedroom with an en suite shower room upstairs. Downstairs, there is a living room, kitchen with dining table and a bathroom. The recently added conservatory looks out to the flower and vegetable garden.

There is a steep climb up from the main part of the village. There are no overlooking properties and the silence at night is broken occasionally by the sound of owls.
