Built in the 17th century and grade two listed, Field Head Farmhouse is built of traditional limestone with sandstone mullion windows to the front of the house. The interior retains features such as original oak beams and is furnished to a high standard, blending quality furnishings with modern conveniences.

Set in a secluded and peaceful location down a short farm lane within its own grounds and with open views, Field Head Farmhouse has a large front lawn with flower beds, large patio area, orchard, horse paddock and large enclosed yard with stables.

Field Head Farmhouse is an ideal spot for all who enjoy country life and is a safe and secure environment for both children and pets alike. Located close to the Manifold Valley and Dovedale it's ideal country for the walker, cyclist or horse rider.

Local amenities and tourist information are to be found in the historic market towns of Leek and Ashbourne, both within a 15 minute drive. Situated on the south edge of the Peak District National Park and central to both Derbyshire and Staffordshire's many attractions including Alton Towers and Chatsworth House, there is a wealth of places to visit and enjoy whatever your age.

The southern fringe of the white peak area remains a very much unspoilt area of the Peak District. Field Head Farmhouse sleeps 11 adults comfortably in five bedrooms, with additional bed settee, camp bed, large cot and camping cot. Please note that all towels and bedding is provided along with initial sundries. For extra members of your party, you can even bring the family caravan during the Summer months, all for a minimal charge.

Please note that Field Head Farmhouse always welcomes children and you are also welcome to bring your own pets including dogs, horses and ponies. For your own safety there is no smoking in the house.
