Approached via a long sweeping driveway, The Coach House is surrounded by undulating fields grazed by cattle and sheep in the heart of the Peak National Park. The cottage which is nestled in the 10 acre grounds of Rowdale, a Grade II listed 17C longhouse, once part of the Eyre Estate of Hassop, has private access to the Monsal Trail and footpaths to local villages, Bakewell, Monsal Head and beyond.
Two miles away is the historic market town of Bakewell and a gentle stroll through fields leads to the pretty village of Ashford in the Water. Both have excellent stores (open 7 days), pubs/restaurants and the Chatsworth estate is 1.5 miles away with a superb farm shop/delicatessen and restaurant.
Accommodation
The spacious conversion has a southerly aspect with lovely scenic views from all rooms and central heating and double glazing throughout.
The stone paved terrace provides level access through the original arched coach entrance to a well-equipped kitchen diner with electric cooker, microwave, fridge, dishwasher, freezer and store/drying room.
Open access leads to the lounge that is comfortably furnished with TV/DVD, CD/radio. The large original arched doorway opens onto the terrace with open aspect across the Crackendale valley.
On the first floor the generous double and king bedrooms have vaulted ceilings with exposed trusses and en-suite facilities. Both rooms have dual aspect to the front/rear overlooking fields and one has a door leading to the orchard.
