Owner's perspective - "When we first saw this house on a dreary January morning in 1996, we never thought that somewhere called the ‘Old Post Office’ would be the place that our family would end up spending 28 happy years in. We wanted somewhere rural with good local schools, quick access to the Peak District, yet still connected to local towns. This tiny village in the corner of the Derbyshire Dales provided all that, and its friendly and supportive community gave us so much more. Stepping out of our front door, we have walks along ancient paths with beautiful views, and within 20 minutes we can be in the Peak District.
It is a house which is full of light and it has developed and grown with us. We added an extension in 2014 giving us a more spacious sitting room yet is still cosy. And we now have stunning windows opening onto the garden, which is wonderful for entertaining in the summer. This really has been a fabulous family home in a quiet, peaceful area yet is part of a vibrant and active social community. We absolutely love it, but are now moving on."
