Roseville

About this property

Roseville is a charming abode resting in a wooded hillside with stunning views over the picturesque village of Cromford in Derbyshire, and is a superb, extended 18th century cottage. Packed with original features such as exposed beams and stonework it marries old with new providing a home from home steeped in history. Situated in the heart of the Derwent Valley Mills UNESCO World Heritage Site, Cromford is best known for being the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, as the site of Industrialist Richard Arkwright’s first cotton mills. Even Roseville once belonged to the Arkwright family. Set over two floors and sleeping up to eight guests in 4 well-proportioned double bedrooms, Roseville is the perfect family-friendly setting for exploring the Peak District with your furry friend, with easy access to country walks such as the High Peak Trail and the Cromford Canal. Be welcomed into the well-equipped kitchen, which boasts all the mod cons you could need from a washer/dryer and dishwasher to a coffee machine that will automatically steam your milk and make a perfect latte at the touch of a button. The quaint dining area enjoys beautiful views though the large kitchen windows and is the perfect place to open a bottle of fizz and chat whilst culinary delights are being whipped up in the double oven. Retire to the lounge on an evening where you can relax under exposed beams on the large corner sofa in front of your favourite film on the 4K Smart TV, as the woodburning stove crackles nearby from the original stone fireplace. Completing this floor is a handy downstairs W.C which is ideal for a quick freshen up before setting out for the day. When sleep calls, you have a choice of four bedrooms to retire to, the first being a king-size on the ground floor and on the first floor, two further king-size rooms, one with an en-suite shower, and one double room with dual aspect views over the village. Outside you will find an abundance of seating areas in garden to the front and side of the house, just perfect for an alfresco breakfast followed by a dip in the bubbling hot tub with views of the Black Rocks. Grab your walking boots and have a wander into the village where you will find welcoming pubs, The Greyhound Hotel and The Boat Inn, independent shops and even a Tapas restaurant. Delve into history at the impressive 18th-century water-powered cotton mill, where you can embark on a guided tour and learn more about the town’s rich heritage, its role in mechanising production and how it’s ideas were copied throughout the world. The charming village of Matlock Bath is very nearby, where you can take in the scenery from the skies in an alpine-style cable car at the Heights of Abraham, tour interactive exhibits at the Peak District Mining Museum, or for the children, there is the Matlock Bath Aquarium and Arcade as well as the thrilling theme park of Gulliver’s Kingdom.
