Middle House

About this property

Middle House is a superb, century's old house looking over the green in the lovely village of  Thorpe with its 'Old Dog' pub and fantastic Peak District countryside all around. Sit in the lovely front garden with your breakfast and watch village life go by. Wander along to the pub, renowned for its scrumptious food, for lunch. Just laze away a peaceful afternoon in and around the house.

The view is absolutely breathtaking as you drop down from the village into the valley. Craggy Dove Dale with its famous stepping stones, Lovers Leap and Jacob's Ladder is off to the right. Manifold Valley with its Paradise Walk and amazing vanishing river is just as close. Follow the River Dove down towards the historic market town of Ashbourne with its lovely country town shops, cafes and restaurants.  

Majestic Chatsworth House, historic Haddon Hall, beautiful Monsal Dale and the Derwent Valley Dams are bound to be on your list. Bakewell with its famous puddings, Eyam with its fascinating Plague story and Matlock Bath with its riverside prom and cable cars are not to be missed. Even Alton Towers is just 20 minutes drive away. When you get back try the nearby Izaak Walton Hotel for a great evening meal.
