A contemporary countryside retreat, set on a peaceful smallholding with alpacas, ponies and sheep, a light-filled contemporary retreat for up to six guests. Tucked away in a quiet Derbyshire village on the edge of the Peak District, it offers space, privacy and a genuine connection with the surrounding countryside. This is a place to slow down and enjoy the changing landscape. Watch the alpacas from the windows and look out for the local wildlife. Walking and cycling routes begin in and around the village, making it easy to explore the area directly from your accommodation. Further afield, visit historic Tutbury Castle or spend a day exploring the picturesque streets, independent shops and traditional pubs of Ashbourne, 6 miles away, or Bakewell, 24 miles away. Rock climbing, horse riding and paddleboarding are among the outdoor activities available in the wider area, while the rides and attractions of Alton Towers are 16 miles away.


Inside, the spacious open-plan living area is wonderfully light and welcoming, with high vaulted ceilings, stylish furnishings, countryside views and bi-fold doors framing the landscape beyond. It is an inviting space for families and friends to relax and spend time together. The well-equipped kitchen flows into the comfortable lounge on one side and the snug and dining area on the other. The dining table is positioned to make the most of the views, while the snug has additional comfortable seating and table football. Curl up with a book, enjoy an unhurried meal or simply sit and watch life on the smallholding beyond the windows. There are three beautifully finished bedrooms, decorated in soothing colours to create a restful atmosphere. On the ground floor is a double bedroom, with a shower room and separate WC opposite. Upstairs, there is a king-size bedroom, a twin bedroom and a second stylish shower room. Outside, the property enjoys a tranquil setting, offering plenty of opportunity to immerse yourself in nature and appreciate the peace of the countryside.


The outdoor seating area is ideal for morning coffee, planning the day’s adventures or relaxing together as the sun sets—perhaps with a glimpse of the barn owl as it passes. Whether you come to walk, cycle, explore the Peak District, reconnect with family and friends or simply enjoy some quiet time surrounded by nature, this property offers a distinctive and comfortable rural escape.
