Description from owner

Description

Grade II listed former Methodist chapel (1834) with commanding views of open countryside, located along a sleepy single-track lane. The ground floor is an extensive open-plan, split-level, light and airy living space which, by night can be transformed into a cosy, warmly-lit retreat from the rugged landscape outside. The lower level forms the seating area with a log burning stove, wooden floors with comfortable sofas, and occasional African and Middle Eastern rugs. The original arched wooden windows, period furniture and contemporary neutral fabrics all adding to its character. A couple of steps takes you up to the well-equipped kitchen and dining area. The open-plan nature of this attractive living space compliments a holiday atmosphere and cultivates a sense of togetherness. The staircase, which is split by an imposing king post truss (on the landing) accesses all bedrooms on the first floor. One bedroom has a king size double bed, one a standard double and the third a 4' double (queen). All have wooden floors, colorful scatter rugs and crisp cotton bedding.

The bathroom on this floor has a bath with shower over, a hand basin and toilet. All bedrooms and the bathroom have beautiful views of open country. This holiday cottage was highly recommended, in its price range, by the travel editor of The Observer. There is a garden bench outside on the bank for sitting out on. A footpath leads from outside the door up onto the popular High Peak Trail. If you like walking, or if your children would like larking about on the hillside in full view of the house, this is an ideal place. Chapel House is well located for visits to Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall and Alton Towers, all less than half an hour away across the National Park. Nearby Carsington Water (2 miles) offers a range of activities including nature and cycling trails, rowing, canoeing, windsurfing, sailing and bird watching.

Getting around

You really need a car to get to Chapel House although I have had guests that got here by cab from Matlock, only 7 miles away where there's a full range of shops and several taxi services. The White Peak is blessed with three amazing disused railway lines that can be a great way to see some truly gorgeous scenery. The breathtaking Cheedale and river Wye can be enjoyed from the Monsal Trail for example. There are several places to hire bikes (and buggies to tow the little ones) for a really fun day out. Just ask me for more details.

Interaction with guest

You probably won't meet me face-to-face because I tend to keep a low profile and I do not live on site. However I really want you to have a great time so I will do my best to make sure you have all the information you need to bring this about. I will send you a comprehensive document which will include directions, parking, internet and key safe codes etc etc. Additionally I will include some advice about, for example, where to walk on the level - for those of you that don't appreciate going uphill - but at the same time enjoy the rolling countryside. Also where to hire stuff like bikes. I will also happily answer any questions to the best of my ability. If you want to ride in a hot air balloon or find a place to metal detect, I can assist.
