Postman's Knock - a magnificent family friendly Grade II listed cottage in the heart of a quiet vill

Postman’s Knock forms the east wing of the original fine triple gabled stone Dower House to Hassop Hall and dates back to the 16th century.

Filled with charm, this characterful Peak District cottage boasts original features and a feature fireplace complete with wood burner for cosy, atmospheric evenings in.
