This 2-bedroom property is a pretty stone cottage packed with character in Ashford-in-the-Water, a picture-postcard village in the heart of the Peak District National Park. It sits overlooking the village green alongside the River Wye and the historic Sheepwash Bridge. The village itself has a restaurant, pub, tearoom and village shop all within easy walking distance.

The Peak District surrounds you here. Miles of footpaths start right from the village. Monsal Dale is just 2 miles away. Bakewell is 3 miles away and great for its weekly market and famous Bakewell Pudding. Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall are both within 6 miles.

The open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining area seats four. A sunroom overlooks the enclosed courtyard garden and is light and bright with comfy seating.

Chatsworth House (6 miles) and Haddon Hall (6 miles) are top days out. Monsal Dale (2 miles) is superb walking country. Bakewell (3 miles) has shops and cafés. Buxton (14 miles) offers an opera house and spa town atmosphere.
