Nestled in the heart of the Peak District National Park, this stylish limestone cottage sits within the original 12-foot walled nursery garden of the historic Cressbrook estate. The property, accessed by its own private driveway, offers wonderful seclusion while remaining close to some of Derbyshire’s most iconic landscapes. Cressbrook, a peaceful village, provides immediate access to Cressbrook Dale (a Site of Special Scientific Interest) with its dramatic limestone gorge, and the Monsal Trail, less than a mile away. Whether you're walking, cycling or simply taking in the scenery, this is the ideal base for nature lovers. For charming shops and local flavour, visit the nearby, the towns of Bakewell (6 miles), Buxton (9 miles) and Castleton (9 miles), while historic gems like Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall are all within easy reach.
This generously proportioned cottage combines rustic character with expansive valley views, offering a stylish and comfortable retreat for families or groups of up to seven. The open-plan living and dining area is filled with natural light thanks to large windows and a vaulted glass roof, framing stunning views across the Wye Valley and the Peak District beyond. A well-equipped kitchen, spacious dining table and cosy lounge area make it ideal for relaxed get-togethers after a day exploring the hills. The cottage features three double bedrooms, each with its own modern en-suite shower room. One of the bedrooms includes a small single bed that can be made up on request, providing flexible sleeping arrangements for families or mixed groups.
Outside, a patio area with garden furniture, BBQ and fire pit offers a lovely spot to dine or unwind while soaking up the views. Guests also have access to a shared grassy lawn shaded by mature trees, offering sweeping vistas over Monsal Dale and the surrounding peaks. There’s parking for two cars in the shared gravel area. Sustainability is at the heart of this property. The owners work closely with the Derbyshire Wildlife Trust, and recent rewilding efforts have introduced four wild ponies to the surrounding land, enhancing biodiversity and the natural beauty of the setting. The cottage can also be booked alongside neighbouring properties for larger group stays or special gatherings.
