Agnes Meadow is a welcoming detached Edwardian farmhouse in the rural hamlet of Offcote and Underwood, near the market town of Ashbourne in Derbyshire. It sleeps eight in four bedrooms with two bathrooms, so it works well for a family get-together or a group of friends. Two small dogs are welcome and there is private parking for four cars.
On the ground floor, the living room has a woodburner and patio doors leading to the garden and the light-filled conservatory is a lovely place to read a book. The kitchen and dining room is well equipped, with an Aga (winter only), an electric oven and hob, a microwave, an air fryer, a steamer, a dishwasher and an American fridge freezer and there is a utility room with a washing machine and tumble dryer. An open-plan dining space looks out towards the countryside, so it is easy to gather over a meal after a busy day.
There are four bedrooms: a zip and link kingsize (twin singles on request) on the ground floor and upstairs a kingsize with an en-suite double shower, a double and a second zip and link kingsize. The family bathroom has a bath with a shower over and there is also a separate toilet downstairs. Oil central heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are all included, with TVs in every room plus books, DVDs and games. A travel cot, highchair and stairgate are available on request. Outside there is a garden with a barbecue. Please note there is one step to the entrance and as livestock are nearby, no fireworks please.
Surrounded by public footpaths, the house suits families who like to spend their days exploring on foot. Carsington Water, the Tissington Trail, Ashbourne and Dovedale in the Peak District National Park all offer further paths and changing landscapes. Popular visitor attractions nearby include Alton Towers resort, Chatsworth House, the Heights of Abraham at Matlock Bath, the National Tramway Museum, Buxton and Blue John Cavern.
Agnes Meadow is a good choice for walking groups, multi-generational family holidays and friends who want a calm country base. There is no hot tub at this property.
