Barleyford

A hidden gem, set in the soft green foothills of the Peak District, Barleyford lies in complete seclusion at the end of a long private road, reached through a wooded river valley and open farmland.

This 15th century house appears out of nowhere, quietly beautiful and beautifully quiet. Huge cruck beams, massive timbers, crackling log fires, old oak furniture and works of art are reminiscent of another age but sit comfortably with gentle modernisation. Every room in the house, including the four poster suite and the magnificent beamed bedroom, has a wonderful view.

Masses of lavender and soft blue nepeta edge the stone flagged terrace where guests take tea in summer. 110 acres of extensively farmed grassland and woodland are home to wonderful wildlife, from redstarts to red deer, with stags roaring near the house during the rut. Three long-distance footpaths are easily accessible and guests can, if they wish, borrow wellies, binoculars or a large friendly dog!
