About this property
Chapel-en-le-Frith 1.5 miles. Queen Ann's Close is a fabulous, roomy stone cottage enjoying a soothing countryside location situation in the Wash, a small village between the picturesque village of Chinley and the market town of Chapel-en-le-Frith in the Peak District. This Victorian era building served it's country well as a parachute factory in World War II. It was also previously owned by the General Manager of the Daily Mail, and many famous people stayed there to protect that all important scoop. Encompassed by the Peak District National Park and a wealth of fascinating towns, this luxury accommodation is a perfect base for a memorable break with family and friends. Situated down a quiet country lane, enter the property into its immaculate and contemporary kitchen, a spacious layout with stylish clay tone units and a charming breakfast table to enjoy your morning coffee. The refreshing, open layout takes you into the rustic, very social dining room featuring a double-faced woodburning stove in its stunning redbrick fireplace. The traditional wooden floorboards lead to the heart-warming sitting room; vintage leather sofas and plenty of beanbags make this a wonderful spot to kick back with the TV on and living flame fire ablaze. The first floor presents five beautifully furnished bedrooms including two benefiting from luscious en-suites and an elegant four poster bedroom. There is also a simply remarkable family bathroom, finished with quirky tiles, a luxurious claw foot slipper bath and a double walk-in shower, a real touch of class. The interior concludes wonderfully with a thoughtful children's room, complete with six single beds, cosy seating and a wall-mounted TV.

This house is fully equipped with everything you will need, plenty of crockery, cutlery, pot and pans! The rooms are very well appointed, comfy beds and lovely bedding. The surrounding area gave us plenty of opportunities for walking, eating and visiting lovely places. Highly recommended

The indoor decor & what was provided was above average. The kitchen was huge & everything you needed was provided from every item of cooking equipment to herbs, kitchen roll, cling film etc. Hand wash & shower gel in all the bathrooms. Sykes said they couldnât provide us with a high chair but there was one in the utility room & portable cot in the room with the 4 poster bed. Iâve given a low score re maintenance but this was purely related to the garden, the lawns were mowed but the garden generally lacked the care that has been shown inside the house.
