2 Bed in Ticknall (oc-m39082)

Set in the heart of the picturesque village of Ticknall, this former estate worker’s cottage captures the essence of authentic rural life; this unspoilt countryside spot is perfect for a couple's retreat or family adventure. The small village of Ticknall, boasting three pubs and a café, on the edge of the National Forest offers a true escape to the countryside, surrounded by breathtaking landscapes that await exploration on foot or by bike. Set among 600 acres of countryside and gardens, the Baroque-style Calke Abbey, 2.5 miles away, offers vast historic parkland and miles of woodland walks to discover (entrance to Abbey grounds 0.5 miles). The pretty market town of Melbourne, 2.5 miles away, is home to a great selection of independent shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants, as well as the stunning Melbourne Hall Gardens. Staunton Harold Reservoir, 3 miles away, offers a scenic spot for enjoying gentle walks, cycling, bird watching and lakeside views.


Beneath the characterful exterior, you’ll find a sanctuary of rustic charm throughout this chocolate box cottage that retains much of its original character, featuring exposed beams and stonework. The roaring open fires in the cosy lounge and inglenook of the dining room set the scene for pure relaxation, with antique-style pieces echoing the rich heritage of the cottage. Unwind on the plush sofa and catch up with your favourite programme on the Smart TV. Reminiscent of days gone by, the beautiful farmhouse kitchen will capture your imagination, inspiring you to whip up something delicious with your fabulous local produce. Head upstairs to wash off a long day on the local trails in the bathroom before retiring to either of the double bedrooms, which enjoy soothing neutral hues that’ll lull you into a peaceful slumber.


Bordered by beautiful planting, the idyllic, enclosed garden offers a lovely lawn and table and chairs, the perfect spot to soak up some sunshine with your morning coffee. There is on-street parking at this cottage.
