Rent Villa Lace Anise Derbyshire

Shrouded in moss and greenery, this Derbyshire manor is perfect for those seeking a rural retreat. Reminiscent of a time gone by, this home embraces the simple things in life, surrounded by sprawling countryside and pretty canals. If you like staying somewhere with bags of character, you’ll love it here – the historical home even features its original scullery, where you can chop your own logs for the fire. It was lovingly refurbished in 2009, but it retains its original charm, with every nook and cranny telling a story.
The warm shades, exposed brick, and vaulted ceilings exude old-world homeliness. And if that doesn’t make you feel cosy and at home, the log-burning fireplace sure will. You’ll love family mornings in the living room, chatting over mugs of tea and bacon sandwiches while the fireplace cuts through the brisk morning cold. And with a consistent view of the lush greenery right outside, it’s truly a bucolic scene.
When you want to explore, all you have to do is step out your door and you’ll be in the heart of the Derbyshire countryside. Take walks across valleys and hills, stopping off for an obligatory pub lunch. Then, return home for a crisp glass of wine in your verdant garden, encircled by manicured hedges and leafy trees. When talk turns to dinner, you’ll love preparing meals together in your farmhouse-style kitchen before tucking in around the homely kitchen table. Finish off the day with a few drinks and a spot of pool in your games room, or with a board game in front of the roaring fire.
