About this property
Beautiful cottage with spectacular views, private garden, sunroom and terrace
Originally three miners cottages, Acacia boasts three good-sized double bedrooms upstairs. The master has a king bed and ensuite shower room. Also upstairs there is a double bedroom and a twin bedroom. Downstairs there is a study/bedroom with a small double bed plus a large desk with office-chair seating for two people. There is also a modern kitchen with gas range, large dining room, sitting room and large sunroom. Under-floor heating and wood burner make the cottage delightfully snug in winter. Outside is a large terrace with spectacular views. Local walks include the Peak District rail trail, Black Rocks and across the valley to Wirksworth. The facilities include good phone signal and strong wi-fi, and a smart flat screen tv
In common with many Peak District cottages, there is no designated parking. However there is free parking available in the street and a small (free) council carpark very close by. A footpath from outside the front door leads into Wirksworth across the fields.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Why they chose this property
We think Acacia Cottage is special - quiet, very well appointed and with wonderful views from every window. The Peak District is a magical place, with lots of history and spectacular scenery. Whatever you like doing - eating, walking, cycling, shopping, driving around - the area can cater for you. We are close to the Southern end of the Peak District rail trail - you can hire cycles at Middleton Top - and less than one hour's drive to the High Peak with its caves and mountains. Wirksworth, Cromford and Ashbourne have good restaurants. Matlock Bath and Matlock are within 15 minutes drive. For children there are the attractions at Abraham's Heights, Carsington Water and - not too far away - Alton Towers. If you like stately homes, we are close to Chatsworth and Haddon Hall. There are many gardens you can visit, including Lea Rhododendrum Gardens just across the valley. The local train line is easy to get to, about 20 minutes into Derby (with free parking at the station). If you like history, the museum of Arkwright's Mill at Cromford is a must. Canal walks are also a local feature, from Cromford.
What makes this property unique
Our cottage is the ideal base for a relaxing holiday. Blossoms in spring, wonderful colours in autumn, rural views all year round. Local walks to Black Rocks are lovely, and Wirksworth is a charming town with a thriving hobby railway. Bolehill is on the edge of the Peak District, with Chatsworth, Haddon Hall, Alton Towers, the High Peak and Bakewell all within easy driving distance. There are good local restaurants in Ashbourne, Matlock and Wirksworth, with many gastro pubs a short drive away.
