About this property

Great Longstone 2.2 miles. The Mill is an outstanding apartment set in the 18th century, Grade II listed Cressbrook Mill, situated on the banks of the River Wye, in the village of Cressbrook, with wonderful views over the stunning Monsal Dale within the Peak District National Park.

It offers three tastefully decorated bedrooms, the master bedroom and twin room are both spacious and boast lovely views over the bowling green and rolling hills of the Monsal Dale. The double bedroom features a barrelled ceiling as it was originally the store room within the mill. A large family bathroom with bath and shower cubicle services the bedrooms, as well as a separate cloakroom with WC. The open-plan living area features a well-equipped, designer kitchen with Neff appliances and American fridge/freezer, complete with a breakfast bar leading onto a large dining room with a dining table to comfortably seat six people. The large windows let in the natural light and allow you to sit and look over the views of the River Wye and surrounding countryside. From the dining area, double doors open into the light, spacious lounge with plush seating and contemporary soft furnishings. Guests staying here can make use of the games room which provides a full-sized snooker table, pool table, table tennis and air hockey, ideal for perhaps a rainy day or enjoy the Astroturf bowling green within the shared gardens. Outside this impressive mill, you are surrounded by mature landscaped gardens with plenty of seating areas to sit and relax with friends or family while enjoying the beautiful views and listening to the calming sound of the flowing water of the River Wye. From your doorstep, you can cross the river and walk up the footpath to the popular Monsal Trail, a traffic free route for walkers, cyclists and horse riders through some of the Peak District’s most spectacular limestone dales. The pretty villages of Litton and Tideswell are nearby, with a number of fine pubs selling real ale and the popular little market town of Bakewell with its array of independent shops, pubs and restaurants is just four miles away. A little further beyond are the historic houses of Chatsworth and Haddon Hall, both well worth the visit. With something to suit everyone, The Mill is the perfect place to enjoy the beauty of the Peak District National Park at any time of the year.

Great Longstone, a charming village in Derbyshire, is located in the Peak District National Park in a fantastic setting. With Longstone Edge on either side, Bakewell, and Chatsworth House nearby, Great Longstone enjoys a privileged location. The village has two classic local inns, a store, stone homes from the 18th century, and a market cross that is placed on the charming village green. The eight and a half miles of picturesque, traffic-free walking and biking on the Monsal Trail, which passes through the village, are made up of various tunnels as well as the magnificent viaduct at Monsal Head, which will keep the whole family entertained. The picture-postcard village of Ashford-in-the-Water is just down the road. It has a mediaeval Sheepwash Bridge, which was formerly a key location for packhorses crossing the River Wye on their way to bring mail from Derby. Numerous stores, eateries, and pubs may be found in the nearby, well-known market town of Bakewell, which is reachable along the Monsal Trail. Farmers' markets are also held there frequently.
