About this property

Situated in Stone Edge, Derbyshire, upon the outskirts of the Peak District National Park lies Highfield House Farm, a charming single-storey cottage. Enjoying far-reaching countryside views of the nearby farmland, a characterful stone exterior, contemporary furnishings, a woodburning stove, lofty ceilings, and a lovely welcome hamper, the cottage welcomes four guests, perfect for couples or a group of friends. Take advantage of the main social hub of the cottage, where you can relax and socialise whilst preparing meals, dining, and planning your Derbyshire escape. Venture outside to truly appreciate the tranquillity of your base, also offering the chance for alfresco dining, whether come morning or night. You'll also find two well-presented king-size bedrooms in Highfield House Farm, both with Smart TVs, ample storage, and within proximity to the sleek shower room. For the essentials whilst staying at the cottage, head to the local farm shop and benefit from a guest discount, provided by the owner, whilst there are ample dine-out options to enjoy, including Tyzack’s Bar & Restaurant, and Peak Edge Hotel. Just a short journey away you'll reach Matlock and its array of attractions, including the Peak District Mining Museum, Matlock Bath Aquarium, and Matlock Farm Park, all offering immersive local experiences. You'll also arrive at Lumsdale Waterfall, the perfect setting for an afternoon stroll, and Ladygrove hiking area, especially fitting for avid walkers, offering forest walking trails. Heading towards Chesterfield, encircle Tapton Lock whilst sipping on a warm beverage, before exploring the 5-mile route of Linacre Reservoirs or perhaps trailing Owler Tor, displaying breathtaking vistas across the National Park. Explore Derbyshire by making Highfield House Farm your base.

Located on the edge of the Peak District National Park in Derbyshire, between Matlock and Chesterfield, is the tiny village of Stone Edge. Despite being well-known for its industrial past, the hamlet now draws a wide variety of tourists, especially those who enjoy the outdoors, thanks to its many walking paths and rural attractions, such as the old Stone Edge Cupola. Traditional pub fare is available for dining at the Peak Edge Hotel, and the neighbourhood farm shop sells necessities. You may find more attractions at Matlock, the county town of Derbyshire, which is also close to a variety of woodlands and hiking trails around the National Park. Matlock is also home to the Lumsdale Waterfall and Tinker's Shaft viewpoint.
