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 planlounge with quality galley kitchen area off, having featured stonework, original barrel-vaulted ceiling and woodland outlook. Bedrooms: Double with picture window and french door to stable yard, Adult sized bunk beds. Bathroom with electric shower over bath.
The Coach houses overlooks a wooded dell and adjoins a 2 acre paddock with ample parking that's reached by steep steps running down from the Coach House stable yard to a sun deck.
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!
