Ipstones 2.3 miles. Boasting spectacular countryside views and easy access into the splendour of the Peak District National Park, Beechview can be found resting in the sleepy village of Foxt, with all of the wonderful amenities of Ipstones just a scenic drive away. The perfect rural retreat, bring your family or friends along to explore the beauty of Staffordshire. Park up in your private parking spaces, with additional parking on the quiet countryside road should you need it, and venture up the stairs to arrive before your charming terraced cottage. Step past the front lawn and make your way into the contemporary-style sitting room, lighting up the open fire to bring a rustic charm and a welcoming warmth to the room as you snuggle up with your loved ones on the large corner sofa. Move through into the welcoming kitchen/diner to find a good host of amenities and utensils including an electric oven and hob, fridge and a dishwasher, while the handy utility hosts both a freezer and a washing machine, with a cloakroom next to it too! Sit at the dining table and raise a glass to your memorable treat, opening up the patio doors to get the best views of the surrounding countryside, or sit outside and dine alfresco with the assistance of the barbecue while the little ones play on the lawn. Moving up to the first floor you can find the three equally well-presented bedrooms made up of two doubles and a twin room, each hosting a beautiful simple but stylish interior, as well as benefiting from being served by the family bathroom home to a spacious P-shaped bath and an overhead shower, so you can choose how best to prepare for your day. Begin your days by pulling on your walking boots and exploring the beauty of the local area by foot, with Foxt boasting tremendous views as well as a welcoming pub, The Fox and Goose, serving delicious traditional ‘pub grub’ and rewarding beverages to accompany, while the nearby rural village offers a wider selection of pubs to take your pick from as well as a shop for picking up the essentials and a Post Office so you can send a postcard to your loved ones back home. The position of the cottage is perfect for those seeking outdoor adventure, with ample walking and cycling routes from your doorstep including Dovedale, the Churnet Valley and The Manifold Trail all being within easy reach, the latter leading you into the beauty of the Peak District National Park where you can find 524 sq km of open access land and 3,005 km miles of rights of way letting you explore the wonder of the area via a variety of scenic routes, or take a Ranger-led guided walk including natural history, archaeology, folklore, family strolls and children’s activities, providing something for all ages, while the thrill-seeker can find activities such as rock climbing, watersports, caving, fell running, airsports and much more!
