Hope Farm House
Hope
Farm House is a luxury, self catering holiday cottage in the heart of the Derbyshire Peak District. Dating from the
early 18th century, the farm and buildings were rescued from near dereliction in the 1980s. All the original features
had survived and were lovingly preserved. The old stone flags were lifted, levelled and replaced. Behind a faded old
blue door is a rare surviving example of a family earth closet, with two large seats and a little one. The scullery
even has the original wash-copper, fire-range and stone salting thrawl.
Everyone says that we have a perfect venue for a family gathering or reunion. Everywhere is centrally heated, and
you will find all the modern appliances you would expect in a house of this quality. This is an exceptionally lovely
and tranquil spot, and your party will be the only one staying here. To ensure that you are undisturbed, we either let
the Farm House on its own or with the Barn, or we let the Barn on its own - we do not let them separately.
This beautiful old farmhouse sleeps eight guests comfortably, all in lovely, high quality beds, some of which are
antique. It is let as self catering holiday accommodation either on its own or with the Barn across the yard, which
extends the sleeping capacity to ten. The village is one of the loveliest and the Farm House is one of the prettiest
houses in the Peak District. It has been restored to the most exacting standards and furnished with antiques and
country furniture. Various pieces and textiles from around the world, such as Persian rugs and Afghan kelims in
stunning colours, reflect a love of travel and years living in India.
Hope Farm House comprises a cosy sitting room with a log stove; a stunning dining room; a fully equipped kitchen
with a Lacanche double-oven cooker; an old-fashioned scullery for boots and cold store; and a really sunny
conservatory. There are three double bedrooms, one of which is ensuite, two single attic bedrooms, and two additional
bathrooms.
The conservatory is a lovely place for breakfast, and the dining room, with its dark oak table, open fire and
candles, is perfect for a celebratory dinner.
Above the Barn, reached by external stone steps, is a recreation room with a three-quarter size snooker table, piano
and library.
There is a pretty formal garden with lovely views, a wild flower meadow and orchard, dry-stone walls, and an old
spring-fed pond full of newts.
