About this property
A fabulous barn conversion in the midst of the Peak District.
This lovely barn conversion is set in the midst of Monyash village which has got everything that a traditional country village should have - village green, village mere, welcoming pub, friendly cafe, and walks galore out into beautiful Derbyshire countryside. The barn has been superbly decorated, furnished and equipped to make it a real 'home from home' from which to explore all the wonders of the Peak District.
Take a stroll to the local tea rooms for breakfast, hop in the car and head to nearby Bakewell to pick up a famous 'pudding' for lunch and then take a bike ride along the High Peak or Monsal Trails out over the tops of the Peaks. You might also fancy soaring into the sky in a Heights of Abraham cable car or stepping back in time in the stunning Chatsworth House. As you head back to the barn gaze in wonder at one of the most superb views in the whole of Derbyshire with Monyash nestling in the folds of the hills.
