Beechcroft House, Derbyshire

A stunning haven on the edge of the Peak District, this spacious home has 5 bedrooms and sleeps up to 14 guests – perfect for family holidays or getaways with friends.

The large, modern kitchen is ideal for cooking up a feast, with everything you need for easy, relaxed dining. There’s a big island, underfloor heating, and bi-fold doors that fill the space with light. You’ll find a large Aga with multiple ovens and hobs, a double fridge, microwave, dishwasher, and plenty of cupboard space. There’s also a handy utility room with access to the outside – great for kicking off muddy boots after a walk. Next door, the elegant dining room, with its natural stone fireplace and large table, is perfect for long, laughter-filled meals together.

After dinner, you can head to the games room for a friendly game of pool, or relax in the comfy lounge with its corner sofa, wood-burning stove, and large TV with surround sound – ideal for cosy movie nights.

There are five beautifully designed bedrooms, all with lovely views, TVs, and lots of storage. Each room can be set up as a super king or twin, giving you plenty of flexibility. The bathrooms are all modern and luxurious – the master ensuite features a huge wet room with a massage shower and bath, another ensuite offers a walk-in shower, and the family bathroom includes both a bath and separate shower.

Outside, there’s loads of space to enjoy. The patio has comfy rattan sofas, a large dining table with chairs for ten, a chiminea for evening warmth, and an 8-seater Jacuzzi hot tub with waterfall, massage jets, lights, and Bluetooth (available for an extra £200). The lawned garden is perfect for kids’ games or simply soaking up the sunshine.

You’re just a short drive from the lovely towns of Matlock and Bakewell, full of shops, cafés, and restaurants, and close to the famous Chatsworth House. Walkers will love exploring the local trails straight from the door, including routes to Chatsworth Estate, Beeley Moor, Stanton in the Peak, and the Nine Ladies Stone Circle.
