The property
Rock Cottage is a detached stone property in the heart of the pretty village of Carsington, Derbyshire.
With its original features and huge appeal, this much loved cottage offers a home from home for couples, families and four-legged friends.
Come back from your countryside pursuits to a woodburning stove and plush sofas to relax away from it all.
Throughout, the tiled floors, soft rugs and the original wooden doors that have been restored with care give a feel of tradition.
You'll find a dining room and well-equipped kitchen to ensure you can eat together in style and comfort in between outdoor activities.
In the evening unwind with a steaming bath and head to rest in one of the beautifully-presented bedrooms.
Behind the cottage garden, there is a large area of mixed woodland full of birdsong, wild flowers and the odd badger.
A fabulous place for relaxing with your favourite cuppa and a good book.
Footpaths lead in all directions from Rock Cottage: will it be to Carsington Water, pub for you and the dog?
Drive up to Matlock Bath and head to Gulliver's Kingdom for a fun-filled day, take a tour of The Great Masson Cavern and The Seafood Cave & Grill.
A stone's throw away is the famous Peak District National Park with its plethora of nature walks, sweeping views and stunning sights.
Take some impressive pictures at Harboro Rocks, stroll along the wide and beautiful plains of Minninglow and marvel at the beauty of Lumsdale Waterfall.
Rock Cottage is a perfect base to visit the wonders of Derbyshire and the Peak District.
About the location
WIRKSWORTH
Matlock 6 miles.
Wirksworth is a small, charming market town situated just a few miles from Matlock, on the edge of The Peak District. Wirksworth is full of character with many buildings of architectural interest, including its magnificent parish church. Independent shops sit alongside the deli, butchers and bakers with a strong local food ethic. Visitors will enjoy exploring the ancient “jitties” and courtyards of the Puzzle Gardens, along with the Heritage Centre and the delightful surrounding countryside including nearby Carsington Water, Black Rocks and the High Peak Trail. Rock climbing and cycling can be enjoyed here at every level, and there is fantastic walking all around. Well Dressing is unique to Derbyshire, and Wirksworth combines this tradition with a lively carnival in May. There is also an annual Arts festival with an amazing Art & Architecture Trail in September, showcasing contemporary art and international performers of every kind. With an art deco independent cinema and a range of places to eat there is plenty to entertain. The town offers a leisure centre with a climbing wall and a small trainer swimming pool, The Eco Centre, The National Stone Centre and the Mount Cook Adventure Centre. The weekly market and monthly farmers' market provide local produce and crafts. Beautiful Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall are within easy reach, as well as Matlock Bath, with its spectacular cable car, the heritage Ecclesbourne Valley Railway and Gulliver's Kingdom. Only two miles away, the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site in Cromford is not to be missed. In all, Wirksworth is a great location for a varied holiday.
