The Old Damson Tree Barn

A wonderful limestone cottage with spectacular exposed beams and a wood burner, nestled in the heart of the Peak District National Park.. All on the Ground Floor:

Open plan living space.

Living area: Smart TV, Woodburner

Dining area.

Kitchen area: Electric Oven, Electric Hob, Microwave, Dishwasher, Washing Machine

Bedroom: Double (4ft 6in) Bed Ensuite: Walk-In Shower, Toilet. Electric underfloor central heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Initial logs for wood burner included. Enclosed garden with sitting-out area and garden furniture. Private parking for 1 car. No smoking.. This idyllic barn conversion can be found in the beautiful Peak District village of Parwich, which in 2015 was quite wonderfully voted by the ‘Sunday Times’ as one of the best places to live in Britain.

Set out over one level, upon entering the cosy cottage, you’ll find an open plan living space with a spectacular beamed ceiling and wood burner. The kitchen is beautifully finished with a granite work surface, and in the cosy bedroom you’ll find a double bed and en-suite facilities. For that extra element of luxury the property benefits from underfloor heating throughout. Outside is a small seating area perfect for enjoying the goings on of village life.

Set around a pond and village green, Parwich is home to a delightful country pub and makes a great base for exploring the surrounding Peak District countryside. Keen walkers will relish the excellent routes available across the nearby High Peak & Tissington Trails, together with Dovedale and Carsington Water. Nearby you’ll also find the pretty villages of Ilam (20 mins) and Alstonefield (10 mins), and the market towns of Ashbourne (15 mins) and Leek (35 mins). The magnificent country houses of Chatsworth House and Kedleston Hall are a 30-minute drive, and as for any thrill seekers there is Alton Towers!

The cottage is in a good location for walks and visiting interesting towns without travelling far.

The cottage is in a good location for walks and visiting interesting towns without travelling far.The lounge and kitchen area is comfortable. The bedroom less so due to one side of the bed being against the wall.

Location was so peaceful, yet in easy reach of Ashbourne for supermarkets.

Location was so peaceful, yet in easy reach of Ashbourne for supermarkets. Perfectly placed for walking and exploring. Lovely pub 2 minutes up the road. Lovely owner. Just what we would wish for, for a short relaxing break. Would definitely return.

We stayed at The Old Damson Tree Barn for Christmas (5 nights) in total.

We stayed at The Old Damson Tree Barn for Christmas (5 nights) in total.It was one of the most enjoyable times we have had.The cottage was well equipped throughout.. The underfloor heating was fantastic and there was a wood burner but we were warm enough so didn’t need to use it.The kitchen was newly fitted and so was the shower room.As it was Christmas the owner even put up decorations including a tree near the window which was amazing.The location was at the edge of the village but only two minutes walk to the friendly pub called The Sycamore Inn which also had a small shop inside.Parking was excellent loads of room at the front of the house.When we arrived we were greeted by the owner Judith who was very friendly and explained what we needed to know about the cottage and then left us to get on and enjoy this lovely place.We could go on but this cosy cottage is fantastic so much that we are coming here again in the Summer.A big thanks to Judith for making our Christmas a one to remember 🎅🏻🎄❤️
