Burrs Farm, Chelmorton, Buxton, Derbyshire

Accessed via a gravelled farm track, unseen from the road, Burrs Farm sits in a rural, elevated position on the outskirts of Chelmorton, the highest village in Derbyshire. This substantial, detached residence lies amongst 3 acres of ancient farmland.

Private and secluded, but only a short walk to the village and a short drive to the famous market towns of Bakewell and Buxton, this grand, traditional property, full of warmth and character, is the perfect haven from which to explore the Peak District National Park. Ideally suited to group celebrations, short stays or longer holidays with family and friends, the property can sleep 20 guests. Those with a sense of adventure and love of the outdoors will be in their element with the proximity of cycling trails, climbing, mountain biking and outstanding walks suitable for all ages and abilities.

The granite-topped, spacious kitchen, with informal dining area, exposed beams and polished stone flagged floors, flows into the sumptuous main lounge, with log burner, deep seat sofas and original stone fireplace, enabling all guests to mingle, relax and congregate even when meal preparations are in progress. There is a separate utility room and a pantry for storage, along with all mod-cons and utensils to make large-group catering a pleasure.

The second lounge (with sofa bed) is ideal for those seeking a quieter spot to read the papers, play pool or for children to have their own space to play and watch TV.

An elegant dining room, with stone fireplace and log burner, provides the perfect formal dining space for atmospheric and memorable evenings or long lunches.

Burrs Farm's impressive staircase leads to a galleried landing with seating which invites a spot of contemplation. The first and second floors comprise 7 sizeable, recently refurbished bedrooms (4 en-suites) and a large family bathroom. All rooms have great views and offer the flexibility of either twin or king-sized double arrangement. Some are designed to accommodate families or small groups of friends.

The spectacular outdoor space is ideal for cooking al-fresco, nights around the fire, fun and games in the garden.
