Located in the heart of England in Hope Valley, Derbyshire, this fabulous stone barn conversion on a working sheep farm can accommodate up to six people in comfort and luxury. The 17th Century barn has been thoughtfully converted into a stone-built semi-detached property full of character, situated next to the owner's farmhouse in the charming hamlet of Ollerbrook, just a 10-minute walk from Edale. The property retains many original features while incorporating modern conveniences, with the living area on the first floor to take advantage of stunning views. The open plan layout includes a fitted kitchen and dining room leading to a relaxing sitting area with oak beams, providing a great space to unwind. All three bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms and are beautifully furnished, ensuring a restful night's sleep. Furnished to a high standard, this property serves as a perfect base for a family holiday in the picturesque area.
Amenities at the property include oil central heating, an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, washing machine, dishwasher, Smart TV, and WiFi. All fuel and power are included in the rent, as well as bed linen and towels. A travel cot and highchair are available upon request, and there is ample off-road parking and storage for bikes or walking equipment. Outside, there is a patio with furniture and a shared BBQ, as well as a shared grassed paddock. Pets and smoking are not permitted on the premises, and shops and pubs are just a 10-minute walk away.
The Peak District, where the property is located, offers year-round appeal with its countryside, picturesque villages, and magnificent scenery across six counties and 555 square miles of open moorland, flowing rivers, and wooded dales. The nearby village of Edale, situated at the foot of Kinder Scout and the start of the Pennine Way, is a walker's paradise with amenities including a general store, post office, two pubs serving food, and a Moorland Visitor Centre. Castleton, only four miles away in the stunning Hope Valley, is famous for Blue John, a rare mineral discovered by the Romans. Buxton, known as a spa town, became popular after the arrival of the railway, making it accessible to visitors of all ages. With its natural beauty and attractions such as Chestnut Centre Otter, Owl and Wildlife Park, the Peak District is a wonderful holiday destination for families.
