Tucked away in the heart of the Peak District National Park, this elegant limestone cottage sits within the original 12-foot walled nursery garden of the historic Cressbrook estate. Reached via its own private driveway, the property offers wonderful seclusion while remaining close to some of Derbyshire’s most iconic landscapes. The peaceful village of Cressbrook provides immediate access to the dramatic limestone gorge of Cressbrook Dale (a Site of Special Scientific Interest) and the Monsal Trail, less than a mile away. Whether you're walking, cycling or simply soaking up the scenery, this is a perfect base for nature lovers. Nearby, the towns of Bakewell (6 miles), Buxton (9 miles) and Castleton (9 miles) provide plenty of charm, shops and local flavour, while historic gems like Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall are all within easy reach.

The cottage itself blends rustic charm with contemporary design in a light-filled, single-storey layout ideal for families or groups. An open-plan living area includes a well-equipped kitchen, generous dining table and a cosy lounge – all styled with natural wood, soft lighting and large windows to frame the garden views. With three spacious double bedrooms, each with its own modern en-suite shower room, the space comfortably sleeps up to six guests. The step-free layout makes it especially suitable for multi-generational stays or those with mobility needs.

Outside, a patio area with garden furniture, BBQ and fire pit offers a lovely spot to relax and dine al fresco in the warmer months. Guests also have access to a shared grassy lawn shaded by mature trees, offering sweeping views over Monsal Dale and the Peak District beyond. 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.
