Imaginatively converted from a 19th Century Coach House, this two storey penthouse apartment offers easily managed accommodation, ideally suited to the busy professionals or perhaps a second home investor seeking to capitalise on a strong local tourist trade, or indeed as a base to explore the delights of the surrounding Derbyshire Dales and Derwent Valley countryside. The accommodation provides a spacious living dining kitchen, two bedrooms, ensuite shower room and main bathroom to the ground floor, with a spiral staircase rising from the living area to a further bedroom with an ensuite bathroom. The apartment benefits from a paved courtyard area, which offers a degree of privacy, plus allocated parking.
