Background
We understand that the vendor has occupied the property for around 20 years and has therefore not been offered onto the market for some considerable time. Part of the property dates back several hundred years, this main house is believed to be the main house on The Duke of Rutland's former private estate. The property has been upgraded and modernised by the current owner.

Directions
From the centre of Bakewell, head south along the A6 towards Matlock. Continue out of the town and past Haddon Hall and follow the road into Rowsley. When entering into the village, opposite the Peacock Hotel, turn right onto Woodhouse Road. Then follow the road past the primary school on the left and then turn right onto Peaktor Lane. Follow the road to a small set of crossroads, continue straight onto Pilhough Lane and the property will be found on the left hand side. Alternatively, head for Stanton in the Peak village and head north out of the village along Pilhough Lane towards Rowsley, go past a woodland on the right hand side and the property will be just after on the right hand side.
