This beautiful stone-built retreat offers an idyllic base for exploring the Peak District, set in glorious Staffordshire countryside near Winkhill. Sleeping six guests across three bedrooms, the property lies close to Waterhouses and the market town of Leek, with Ashbourne also within easy reach. Walkers and cyclists can enjoy direct access to scenic trails, including sections of the Manifold Valley Walk, Dovedale and Ilam Park. Nearby attractions include Thor’s Cave, Alton Towers and Peak Wildlife Park.
Inside, the cottage combines original character with refined comfort. A welcoming reception hall leads to a stylish lounge, where plush seating surrounds a woodburning stove set in a stone inglenook fireplace, alongside a Smart TV. Across the hall, the country-style kitchen/diner is perfect for sociable meals, with French doors opening on sunny days. A utility room and ground-floor WC add convenience.
Upstairs are three beautifully presented bedrooms, including two super-king-size rooms, one with a sleigh bed and en-suite shower room, and the other enjoying lovely views and original stone steps. A twin bedroom and family bathroom complete the accommodation.
Outside, the enclosed garden offers a lawn, patio and BBQ area, ideal for dining and relaxing while overlooking the river and surrounding countryside. Off-road parking is available for up to six cars, making this a wonderful countryside escape.
