About this property
New Mills 2 miles. The Lodge is a detached lodge located near New Mills, close to Habberley in Derbyshire. Set within the grounds of a working farm and enjoying stunning countryside views, this welcoming retreat is ideal for families and friends looking to explore Derbyshire and the nearby Peak District National Park. After making your way along the private lane and parking outside, take a moment to admire the far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside, where sheep graze in the neighbouring fields. A ramp leads to the entrance and onto the decking, where chairs provide the perfect spot to sit with a morning coffee or evening drink while taking in the rural surroundings.
Before heading indoors, wander across the large lawn and enjoy the sense of space that surrounds the property. Step inside to discover an inviting open-plan living area designed for spending quality time together. Settle into the leather sofa or armchair and switch on the Smart TV after a day of exploring, with the electric fire adding warmth on cooler evenings. Open the double doors to the decking and let the countryside backdrop become part of your living space as fresh air drifts inside. When mealtimes arrive, gather around the dining table with seating for four, thoughtfully positioned to make the most of the views through the window.
Just beyond, the kitchen area is equipped with everything needed for a self-catered stay. Prepare family favourites using the gas oven and grill, gas hob, microwave and air fryer, keep refreshments chilled in the fridge/freezer, and make use of the washing machine after countryside walks. Start each day with a coffee at the breakfast bar while planning the next adventure. A separate cloakroom adds convenience for your group before you make your way through to the bedrooms. One double bedroom offers wardrobe storage for your holiday essentials, while a second double bedroom features a dressing table, wardrobe and delightful views across the surrounding landscape.
The twin bedroom also enjoys countryside views, providing a pleasant setting to wake up each morning. Completing the interior is a family bathroom, where you can choose between a leisurely soak in the bath or a refreshing shower before setting off for the day. For the essentials, you'll find a shop and pub just a short drive away, while a nearby river offers a scenic setting for an afternoon stroll. The Peak District National Park is within easy reach and provides endless opportunities for outdoor adventure. Climb Mam Tor for panoramic vistas across the Hope Valley, wander through the dramatic limestone scenery of Winnats Pass and spend time exploring the characterful village of Castleton, known for its historic setting and traditional streets.
Head to Buxton to explore the elegant Pavilion Gardens, enjoy an afternoon at the renowned Buxton Opera House and venture beneath the surface at Poole's Cavern to discover impressive limestone formations. In Glossop, stroll through Manor Park's landscaped grounds, follow the Longdendale Trail through striking reservoir scenery and browse the town's collection of independent cafés, shops and eateries. Whether you're admiring the views from the decking, spending time together in the open-plan living space or discovering the landscapes of the Peak District National Park, The Lodge is a well-positioned base for a Derbyshire escape.
The small village of Habberley lies near the Stiperstones and has several attractive half-timbered houses including Habberley Hall which dates back to the 16th century and was once home to the Mytton family, a famous member being Jack Mytton after whom the 100 mile long Jack Mytton Way was named. The local pub also bears the family name, the Mytton Arms. The beautiful village of Pontesbury is only a few miles away and has lovely shops, pubs and restaurants. Shrewsbury is full of higgledy-piggledy streets, and a river that scoops up the town in a loop. A mix of the very old and the very new, the quirky and the one-off. Set amidst glorious countryside near to the Welsh Borders, it is one of England's finest medieval market towns. The town centre is packed with timber-framed Black and White buildings, steep narrow streets and alleyways. There are over 600 listed buildings including the Castle, now a regimental museum, and the world-famous Shrewsbury Abbey, home of the fictional Brother Cadfael.
