About this property
A spacious cottage with a large garden and wild orchard in a peaceful location surrounded by lovely rolling countryside.
Surrounded by stunning countryside, Ellencroft is a beautiful cottage, situated on one-level and is perfect for both families or groups of friends. The property is fully equipped with all the essentials needed for a well-earned break and at the end of a long hard day there is nothing better than relaxing in the lounge, looking out of the patio doors at the amazing scenery.
The house stands at the end of a private drive, shared with two other properties, on the edge of the small village of Hundall.
There are plenty of walks around the area but for a trip back in time, hop on a steam or diesel train operated by Peak Rail from Matlock to Rowsley, or head for nearby Crich Tramway Village and pay an old penny to ride on a vintage tram. Visit the stunning Chatsworth House or if you have a head for heights, why not ride the Heights of Abraham cable cars, soaring above the Derwent valley and into the village in the sky.

Mrs Scaife
The perfect holiday home for our family, spending a week celebrating my Mum’s 90th birthday. The view is terrific from the south facing patio - and we spent hours watching the wildlife, walkers, horse riders, farmer and big sky! The kitchen is well equipped, which was fabulous as we could cook the things we all love, and enjoy eating together. The easy walks were perfect for our small dog, and the peace and quiet was just lovely. One of the bedrooms has a double aspect overlooking the countryside - many an ‘early morning cuppa’ spent enjoying that from the comfort of my bed!! So many attractions and places of interest nearby - and the scenery around there is fabulous.. there are many places where you can see for miles. Would we go again - ABSOLUTELY we would! Would I recommend to a friend .. no - because it’s a ‘best kept secret’!!! Joking apart - yes I would HIGHLY recommend, and I really hope I’ll visit again.
