Waters Reach Holiday Cottage

This attractive, stone, terraced cottage is set in a quiet corner of the pretty village of Buxworth, on the edge of the Peak District National Park. Warm, welcoming and deceptively spacious, the property is perfectly placed for exploring this lovely part of the High Peak, with the Bugsworth Canal on the doorstep.

Traditionally furnished with a homely feel, this charming cottage has character beams and a cosy open fire in the sitting room, perfect for relaxing by in the cooler evenings. The dining area is tucked under the staircase, which leads up to the first floor roomy double bedroom and the family bathroom, complete with a Jacuzzi bath and powerful shower over.

The second bedroom is on the top floor and offers fine views over Eccles Pike moor. The kitchen is at the back of the property, with a stable door giving access, via stone steps, down to the sheltered shared courtyard; a sunny spot to sit with a morning coffee, before heading out for the day. The small village of Buxworth has numerous footpaths to explore, including walking and cycling on the canal towpath, and is a haven for birds and wildlife.

Just 10 miles away is the popular spa town of Buxton, with a wide range of restaurants, quaint tea rooms and independent shops. With performances to enjoy at the Buxton Opera House and colourful Pavilion Gardens, a visit there is really worthwhile. Nearby stately homes include the wonderful Chatsworth House and the National Trust’s Lyme Park, whilst the Blue John Cavern provides an interesting day out.

A comfortable cottage in an excellent location.

Buxworth is a pretty little village on the borders of North West Derbyshire and Cheshire, an area known as the High Peak, near the Derbyshire Peak District. Buxworth leads towards the lovely Bugsworth Basin, which is home to the canal with tow path, a cycle path, and there is also a wonderful village pub.

Some excellent walks and cycle trails are on the doorstep, and close by is the town of New Mills with the Torrs Riverside Park – a place for recreation and relaxation. The Torrs Millennium Walkway, a much-admired bridge, is set deep in the gorge and attracts many visitors, while Chapel-en-le-Frith, known as the Capital of the Peak, is only a short drive away, boasting a cobbled market place and historic old stocks. Within easy driving distance is the delightful spa town of Buxton, famous not only for its therapeutic spring water, but also for its Pavillion Gardens and splendid Victorian Opera House, which boasts a variety of shows, attracting people from all over the world. Within easy driving distance are the Blue John Cavern show caves at Castleton, the Chestnut Conservation Centre, and many stately homes, such as Chatsworth House and NT Lyme Park. The perfect place for exploring the whole of the Peak District.
