CHARACTER
CONVERTED HAYLOFT APARTMENT
The Hayloft is part of a range of sympathetically converted
mellow old stone farm buildings dating back to the 18th century
and was actually used as a hayloft for storing hay up until
about 15 years ago. Idyllically situated amidst beautiful
countryside in a peaceful hamlet midway between MATLOCK and
BAKEWELL, the Hayloft is a romantic, luxury apartment available
for weeks during the summer and short breaks off season.
Nestling just below Stanton Moor and the Druid's Nine Ladies
Stone Circle and with 3.1/2 acres of paddock and lovely rambling
gardens, it is the ideal location for touring the Dales and
Peaks of Derbyshire. Chatsworth and Haddon Hall are only 10
minutes away, Dovedale and Ashbourne lie to the south and
Hartington and Ladybower Dam lie to the north. There are wonderful
walks locally and throughout the whole of the Peak District.
The Hayloft is completely self-contained with access via
original old stone granary steps, which rise from the quaint
south-facing, secluded courtyard full of various cottage garden
and climbing plants. Panoramic views from The Hayloft windows
take in the gardens and paddock and the wooded and heather
clad hillsides towards Stanton and Beeley Moors, and also
the rolling farmland towards Darley Hillside.
Accommodation
1 bed, sleeps 2
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 tastefully restored,
and decorated and equipped to a luxurious standard with old
pine furniture throughout, but also providing all modern facilities.
An open-plan sitting area with comfy cream sofa and easy chair,
TV/video and radio/CD player, dining area and farmhouse style
pine kitchen with oven and hob, microwave and full size fridge-freezer
all make for easy, comfortable living.
There is a spacious, very pretty double bedroom with an original
old Victorian brass & iron bed with a new comfortable
double 10" thick mattress. A vanity unit with gold taps
is set in an alcove alongside a fitted wardrobe, and there
is a dressing area with chest of drawers and a window overlooking
the courtyard. An en-suite shower and toilet complete the
accommodation.
Various sitting out chairs are provided in the courtyard
and down on the lawn where you can admire the wonderful views
and watch the free-range chickens in the field (lovely eggs
with that long-forgotten flavour are available!) You may also
catch a glimpse of the abundant deer and the other wildlife
in the area. Keen gardeners will be delighted by the ponds
and vast array of plants in the rambling gardens. If you fancy
a barbecue there is one available on request for your personal
use.
A cot can be provided on request and baby sitting by arrangement.
A fold-up single bed is also available for an older child
