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.
