Peak district family home

We have a deceptively large family home situated over three floors. It is a light and airy house, with a balcony from the kitchen which looks out over the valley and into the peak district. On the ground floor there is a Den (dart board, small kitchen area, large TV and comfy sofa, lots of books and access to garden), a restful study (small room with pull out bed, desk and computer) and a shower room. On the first floor we have a kitchen diner with a table that can easily accommodate large family meals and a balcony with beautiful views and access to the garden. This room adjoins a large family room with a smaller tv, books, games, large sofa and toys. The second floor has two large bedrooms, one with a bunkbed, pull out and lots of toys one with a large double and great views! There is also a small box room in which we can erect a cot or pull out bed.
There si also a fmaily bathroom with a large bath and shower.

This is an area of outsatnding natural beauty, with short and long walks for all abilities, climbing, bouldering and orienteering are some of the activities on offer. If you like historial landmarks we are a 20min drive from Chatsworth house, (which you may have seen in Pride and Prjudice as Mr Darcy`s home), with its stunning gardens and architecture. Another short drive will take you to the market towns of Bakewell or Matlock or you may simply want to walk down to Paddly Gorge with the family and paddle in the clear waters runnig down from the valleys.

As many people come to this area for the peak district as come for the creative and arts culture which thrives in this city. Once renowned for its steel and craftsmen Sheffield holds onto this history with a culture of creativity in the arts and in music.

But is is also a family friendly city, each park has a playground suitable for all ages and cafes where ice cream is always served and reasonable cakes and coffees. Just five mins walking distance from our house is Forge Damn, a playground, stream, duck pond and cafe situated in a forested part of the valley and a hub of walkers and families. For families Sheffield has all the usual entertainment, swimming pools, great cinemas, soft play, trampoline parks and skate parks.
