Woodside House

About

This spacious and well-equipped family home, was built in the 1840s as the chief engineer's residence during the construction of the Midland Railway through Derbyshire's scenic Derwent valley, and has now been sensitively modernised and extended to offer delightful family accommodation in this lively and attraction-rich region of Derbyshire.

The house retains some original character and much Mediterranean styling, with a cast-iron wood-stove in the large dining room, stripped-pine doors, and many areas of Italian-tiled floors with scatter-rugs. Sensitive remodelling has created a most comfortable lounge with a delightful morning room off, whose picture windows embrace the outlook to river meadows and valley woodland below.

Very large open-plan lounge with wood-stove & dining area, and with separate sitting/games area (with table football); large beamed conservatory through double-doors from lounge, with separate washroom off; quality fitted galley kitchen, with access to living room & conservatory, and serving-hatch to terrace.
Six en-suite bedrooms, nos 1-5 with wall mounted remote-control TVs: Ground floor - No 1: Family double plus extra single with fitted wardrobes, good views via picture windows, and with en-suite shower-room with toilet & basin & roomy shower - easy access to living room, suited to less-mobile guests.
