By the Tracks

About this property

Sitting at the top of a quiet road on the outskirts of Buxton, Derbyshire, is this inviting, semi-detached house, By The Tracks. Benefitting from a private driveway with an EV charging point and a rear enclosed garden, By The Tracks is a splendid escape for up to eight guests looking to escape to this region of Derbyshire. The heart of the home is the bright and airy kitchen/diner, uplifted by natural light from the large windows, providing a superb place to prepare home-cooked dishes with assistance from the electric oven, induction hob, microwave, fridge and freezer, whilst the washer/dryer is sure to come in handy for the laundry. After a filling feast beside a quirky feature wall decorated with places to eat in the local area, follow the oak floor to the lounge and make yourself comfortable upon the large settees, using this time to discuss plans for the remainder of the holiday. Rear patio doors lead to the enclosed garden, where you can relax upon the decking with a favourite drink in hand. Head up to the first floor and discover the first set of bedrooms, including two king-size doubles and a 4’ double, each neutrally presented with beautiful features and fittings. Continue up to the second floor where the fourth bedroom lays, housing another king-size bed and storage space. Serving the bedrooms is the shower room, where you can start the morning with a rejuvenating rinse before heading about your day. The historic market town of Buxton is a superb holiday base; uncover its rich history at Buxton Museum and Art Gallery, catch a live performance at Buxton Opera House and admire the landscaped gardens at The Pavillion Gardens. If you fancy a night away from the kitchen, treat your loved ones to a meal at Santiago tapas restaurant, Dubbin Good food or Khomkai Thai Cuisine. Pop on your walking attire and head into the Peak District National Park, where you can enjoy a range of scenic hikes and cycle routes, plus there are several stately homes to visit, including the esteemed Chatsworth House and nearby Haddon Hall. There’s plenty to fill your holiday itinerary whilst at By The Tracks.

The eight thermal springs in Buxton have a constant temperature of 28 degrees centigrade, which is what first drew the Romans to the area. The beautiful semicircular Crescent, The Great Stable, Hall Bank, The Square, The Pavilion Gardens, and The Opera House were all conceived and constructed during the 18th and 19th centuries, though, under the patronage of succeeding Dukes of Devonshire. These spectacular structures and grounds, as well as the Opera House's full schedule and yearly festivals of music and the arts, are still enjoyed by visitors today. With rocky peaks to the north, pleasant hills and dales to the south, and a number of charming villages, there is wonderful walking around.
