Enjoying an idyllic location at the northern tip of Carsington Water, this stunning property offers light, fresh and welcoming holiday accommodation. This imaginatively updated and characterful barn conversion has been tastefully furnished and stylishly decorated throughout to provide a soothing and relaxing backdrop to a fantastic retreat. Perfect for families, this is a fabulous residence with original wooden beams and exposed brickwork, ideal for walkers and cyclists exploring the southern reaches of the Peak District National Park. The light-filled hallway leads through to the spacious and cosy lounge which has plenty of comfortable seating, TV, exposed beams and a wood burner housed in an eye-catching circular inset fireplace. The country cottage-style kitchen/diner is at the heart of the property, perfect to gather to cook and enjoy a celebratory meal. The ground floor also has a handy shower room. There are two light and fresh first-floor bedrooms: the super-king-size room and the king-size along with the family bathroom. Also on this floor is a snug with corner sofa, TV and Xbox. On the second floor is the twin bedroom and double bedroom both with low sloping ceiling with wooden beams. Outside, the paved and furnished enclosed courtyard has a stone wall with boxed hedges and display borders stocked with garden perennials, and provides a lovely spot for dining. Carsington Water makes a fabulous base for an array of activities including walking, hiking, mountain biking, windsurfing, canoeing and fishing. The reservoir is also home to a restaurant, shops, playground, bird hides and miles of footpaths. Heading into the Peak District you can visit Bakewell (13 miles) and Chatsworth House (15 miles).
