Quirky townhouse on the edge of the Peak District, with country walks from the door, plus shops, cinema, heritage centre, bistros and pubs

This tall Georgian house was built originally as a lawyer’s office, hence the name. It’s in the centre of a friendly market town, with plenty to dip into close by – independent shops, an arts cinema, heritage centre, bistros and pubs.

Peter and Alison have restored the house with much love and attention to detail adding original art throughout. You can let yourself in with the key box, but they’ll come and say hello once you’re settled. A miniature replica of the building houses a welcome bottle of Prosecco.

While away lazy days with books and board games in the sitting room; sit at the table in the little front yard to catch the afternoon sun and watch the world go by. Explore the town with its fascinating history, narrow alleyways and stunning views. Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall are half an hour by car; ramblers, cyclists and bird-watchers will love the surrounding Derbyshire Dales. The owners offer a tempting range of craft courses at nearby Zantium Studios.
