Where The Chaffinch Sings Grindon, Staffordshire

Property Description

While its bones date back to the 16th century, this cosy stone barn couldn’t be more up-to-the-minute. Contemporary-comfort is the watchword here – expect eco-friendly heating, snuggly faux fur throws and Egyptian cotton sheets. Spend cooler mornings curled up on the sofa with a hot mug of tea, toasting your toes by the fire. When it warms up outside, potter around the sleek kitchenette, putting together a light lunch to be enjoyed in the sunshine.

Take your plates over to the picnic bench and soak up the sights and sounds of the countryside. Once you’re ready to explore, tie your laces tight and set out on a stroll through the Manifold Valley to Thor’s Cave – it’ll take you around fifty minutes at a leisurely pace. Or, jump in the car and take the forty-minute drive to Matlock for peaceful walks along the river. Head home in the late afternoon for a barbecue and a glass of fizz, ready to watch the sun set over the Peak District.
