The Hay Loft - tranquil first floor living
Once part of a stable block, The Hay Loft is a simply stunning barn loft conversion at Vicarage Farm based in the heart of the High Peak.
The cosiest of cottages at this historic church farm, The Hay Loft is perfect for families of five or less. Gone are the horses and groom – in their place you’ll find chilled out first floor living with a uniquely modern feel and spades of original character.
Leading from the beautiful hallway with exposed natural stone wall, everything is within reach. You’ll find a wonderfully light open plan living area with vaulted ceilings and contemporary painted beams. Comprising a lounge area with comfy sofas, a dining zone and kitchen, there’s plenty of space for everyone to relax and dine together. Not forgetting the picturesque views from the dining table and sofa onto open countryside towards Miller’s Dale.
The Hay Loft has two bedrooms and a shower room, ideal for two couples or a family. One is a cosy double room and the second has a double bottom bunk with single bunk on top (under 12s only).
Wallow in the range of communal facilities on hand. Or simply kick back and relax on your private patio overlooking the courtyard is a delightful spot to relax at any time of day!
Fire up a game of family doubles on the all-weather tennis court and let mini guests loose on the well-established playground. You’ll also find a communal outdoor gazebo and barbecue terrace nestled within the tranquil settings. Twinkling fairy lights and an under cover open log fire make it magical for evening celebrations!
