Our Home For Exchange

Description of the home we are offering for exchange

INTERESTED IN UK OFFERS FOR AUGUST 2024

ALWAYS OPEN TO OFFERS and always reply to requests. Beyond UK, we are looking to travel during school holidays.

We are a family of four with an adult daughter and 15 year old son and have undertaken many fantastic exchanges.

For UK swaps we prefer to take our dog along; she is very well behaved. Similarly behaved family dogs are welcome to our home but we do have a few house rules for the dog.

We are interested in any UK offers, if anyone fancies a weekend in beautiful Derbyshire, Peak District within easy driving or train travel to Sheffield, Birmingham, Nottingham, Stratford on Avon... We are also within 1.5 hours of York and Manchester and about 1h 40m to London.

Our home is a lovely 3 bedroomed, 1930s property with a good garden and parking for 3 cars. All bedrooms are doubles and we have a pull out single futon mattress for use if required.

Easy access to Peak District, Alton Towers, Matlock Bath, Dovedale, Bakewell, Cannock Chase and several fantastic National Trust properties / parks: Chatsworth House, Kedleston Hall, Calke Abbey, Hardwick House to name a few. For home based fun, we have plenty of games, TVs, and two games consoles; outdoors we have a table tennis table, footballs, goals and basketball net.
We also have wi-fi with a PS5 & XBox One which you are welcome to use.
Netflix and the usual TV channels available.

Neighbourhood

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

Our area is on the outskirts of Derby and benefits from very good bus links as a result. However, we are also only 2 minutes from open fields and farmland, cycle tracks and the countryside! We think we have the best of both.

For tourists to the UK, we are perfectly located for exploring England and Wales. From Derby to London is 1h30m by train to King's Cross St Pancras. Stratford Upon Avon, home of Shakespeare, is a 45 minute drive; Liverpool, Beatles birthplace is an hour away; historic York, beautiful Bath and Bristol are all a possible day trip with drives between 1h45 and 2h15 minutes. For those who really want to explore, it is possible to reach north Wales in 2 hours.
Derbyshire itself is a beautiful county with a wonderful mix of historic places such as Matlock Bath, various National Trust properties (Chatsworth House to name but one) amazing countryside for walkers and cyclists and theme parks such as Alton Towers or for the brave, quad biking etc at Brailsford Wild Park.
