This visually stunning and imposing early 19th century building was originally the Coach House and Stables for the nearby ‘Owl Coaching Inn’, (reputedly a haunt of highwayman Dick Turpin), that’s now a fine old farm some half a mile from the historic Derwent valley mill town of Belper with it’s formal River Gardens (summer Sunday brass-bands!) and Visitor Centre. The building’s fine stone exterior - with hand-cut lintels, vaulted coach-ways, mighty wrought-iron detailing - and its interior, which retains and highlights superb barrel-vaulted ceilings, cast-iron saddle-racks and unique arching cast-iron roof trusses; all these together emphasize the quality and historic importance of this Grade II Listed structure, which is now carefully transformed into a quality holiday residence. Turpin’s Coach House overlooks a wooded dell and adjoins a 2-acre paddock and play field with ample parking, that’s reached by steep steps (not suited to the infirm) running down from the Coach House stable yard. The Black Brook trout stream runs alongside the paddock, (children under supervision please), and ‘fun fishing’ is welcome, subject to locally-obtainable River. Well situated to visit all the attractions that Derbyshire has to offer.
