What was once the old Pigsty at Hurdlow Grange, has now been given a new lease of life and converted into a small yet perfectly formed stylish studio suite.

Nestled at the bottom of the communal courtyard this cosy barn conversion offers a great base from which to explore the hills and dales of the Peak District. The accommodation is all on one level with each room creatively styled to maximise space. 

Enter through the barn door into the compact yet well equipped kitchen space, which has been fitted out with the essentials to cook including electric oven and hob, under counter fridge with freezer compartment, a kettle and toaster. Through to the right is the modern shower room with sink and WC.

At the far end of the studio is the stylish double bedroom, which is the perfect hideout featuring a smart TV and plush furnishings to cosy up in. 

Moving from the bedroom through to the snug where you can relax in the comfy armchairs, with two nest tables providing space to eat.

 Situated at the bottom of the larger communal courtyard of Hurdlow Grange, the Pigsty shares the space with five other properties  which collectively make up 'Hurdlow Grange'.  Whilst you are on a shared site, The Pigsty benefits from its own private, walled courtyard where you will find a picnic bench perfect for outdoor dining and further seating with lawned area to the far end. Plenty of parking is available in the communal courtyard.

Hurdlow is a tiny rural hamlet surrounded by rolling fields and stunning countryside views. From Hurdlow you can hop straight onto the popular High Peak & Tissington trail, on which you can walk or cycle to your heart's content. There is conveniently a cycle hire along the trail at Parsley Hay if you want to hire a bicycle.
