Black Bess

About

This visually stunning and imposing early 19th century building was originally the Coach House and Stables for the nearby 'Owl Coaching Inn', (reputedly a haunt of highwayman Dick Turpin), that's now a fine old farm some 2 miles from the historic Derwent valley mill town of Belper, in the lovely Amber Valley, 'the Heart of Derbyshire'. The building's fine stone exterior - with hand-cut lintels, vaulted coach-ways, mighty wrought-iron detailing - and its interior, which retains and highlights superb barrel-vaulted ceilings, cast-iron saddle-racks and unique arching cast-iron roof trusses; all these together emphasize the quality and historic importance of this Grade II Listed structure, which is now carefully transformed into a select group of quality and characterful holiday residences.


Open plan lounge with dining area and galley kitchen, having exposed cast iron beams and antique style spiral stairs to galleried rooms.
Lower level 1 double, 1 twin, 1 shower room with toilet and basin. Upper level reached via spiral stairs 1 double with en suite bathroom with toilet and basin, plus single bed on the gallery area.

Near at hand, you'll find Alton Towers, Crich Tramway Village, The American Adventure, Cromford Mills and Canal, Matlock Bath, Chatsworth, Haddon and Kedleston Halls, Gulliver's Kingdom, and there's a wealth of family pubs, restaurants and walking and sporting activities right on the doorstep!
