We are next to a wood, with fields at the back of the house and great views over the valley at the front. Ambergate is a hilly village with great walks, interesting woodland to explore, a river, Cromford canal, Hurt Arms pub & restaurant, train station, fish & chip shop and petrol station with mini-market. Belper, an historic mill town with a great choice of cafes, shops, pubs and restaurants, is 2 miles away. We are in the middle of the Derwent Valley World Heritage Site, famous for its historic water powered cotton mills, which stretches from Derby, 11 miles to the South and Matlock Bath, 7 miles to the North. We're well placed for access to the many attractions of Derbyshire, including the Peak District, Chatsworth House, Kedleston Hall and Arkwright's Mill at Cromford. Ambergate Train station is a 10 minute walk away, trains run hourly to Matlock and Belper, Derby, Nottingham. Buses run regularly to Derby, Matlock, Belper. Bus stop is a 5 minute walk downhill to the A6 road. By car- 20 mins from M1, 10 mins from A38. By foot-40 mins walk to Belper, 5 mile walk to Cromford along canal towpath which is also great for cycling. Private Guest parking space outside the house. We have steps to the front of the house so we may not be suitable for guests with mobility difficulties. The road is steep and narrow on the final 50 yards approach to the house, we would advise against reversing up and best to use first gear.
