This is a small, clean property in a small historic market town of Belper Derbyshire. We are within walking distance (10 minutes through the park) of lovely town centre with many independent shops. We have parking for 1 vehicle immediately at the front of the house. The house is well maintained, pleasantly decorated. The bedroom has a comfortable double bed. Extra bedding/throws are available too. There is a wardrobe and draw space for your belongings. I provide clean towels. Further clean towels are available. Please ask. Tea and coffee is available in your room. We have oat milk but if you prefer cows milk please ask. The bathroom is new and separate from the main bedroom. We share the bathroom. Guests take priority. If you require fridge space for breakfast items. Let me know. You are welcome to use the facilities within the house. This includes, kitchen - microwave, oven, dishwasher, crockery and cutlery, iron and ironing board. If I can help, I will, just ask. Kitchen overlooks the Chevin and fields. South facing garden is planted for bees and other wildlife. Garden has patio table and seating. There is further seating in garden. It is south facing and gets quite warm in summer. Peaceful and relaxing. Quiet with sound of sheep and other animals from nearby farms audible.
I am a keen gardener having planted the garden from scratch to attract wildlife. I grow a variety of fruit and veg. I make jams and chutneys and offer these to accompany guests breakfast. If guests wish to breakfast here I have a dog and walk daily. I know many lovely walks often with a nice pub along the way. I enjoy meeting people and it is my pleasure to be able to facilitate a great holiday experience for my guests
We are right on the edge of urbanisation. 2 minutes to walk into open countryside visible at the rear of the house, 10 minutes walk to the centre of Belper town with it's many shops, pubs, cafes, restaurants, micro breweries. Everywhere you look from most places in Belper there are green hills and fields of lambs and sheep. For the lovers of sport, right on the doorstep there are local rugby, cricket, football and tennis clubs. There is a farmer's market every second Saturday throughout the year. During the summer months there are many festivals celebrating history, local food and drink, art and open gardens. The transport is excellent. Regular buses go to Derby, Cromford Matlock. Transpeak service takes you deeper into the Peak District. Local train station is 20 minutes walk, 5 minutes by car with plenty of parking.
