About this property
A magnificent, Grade II listed, semi-detached farmhouse, located in the pretty village of Parwich, just a few minutes' walk from the village's traditional pub and only 7 miles from Ashbourne. Full of character and charm, the cottage boasts many original features such as old beams, fireplaces, mullioned windows and shutters, and offers a lovely sitting room with woodburning stove and cosy snug with open fire, along with a spacious garden in which to relax and unwind. Enjoy beautiful walks through the old village of Parwich, cycling on the nearby Tissington Trail or a sightseeing tour of the wonderful Peak District National Park. With the market town of Ashbourne within easy reach, this is an ideal base for family and friends to get away from it all and enjoy a break in the country.
The lovely old village of Parwich is surrounded by beautiful countryside and dates back to the Saxon times, although there is evidence of a Roman farm at Roystone Grange nearby. Parwich has a village green, public house and a church as well as a post office with a general store. Cyclists and walkers will be well occupied with the lovely walks and paths in the area, one of them being the Manifold Trail which follows the Leek to Manifold light railway. There are many pretty villages within easy reach. Ilam, Alstonefield and Brassington all have an interesting past waiting to be discovered. With so much to offer in the way of sightseeing and outdoor activities, this peaceful area makes a great holiday base for all ages.

The cottage was very comfortable and clean. The kitchen was very well equipped with plenty cups, plates, utensils and glasses. The beds were comfortable. The whole house was more than sufficiently warm which was important bearing in mind how cold it was at times outside. The house is situated in a lovely village which was a pleasure to walk around. The local pub (the Sycamore) is well worth visiting as they did some great food. Also thanks to the owner for personally coming to welcome us and running through the facilities.
