Destination Derbyshire: developer reveals why high peak is high on the house-hunting wish list

Barratt Homes is giving property seekers a sneak peak of what they could gain with a fresh start at its Derbyshire developments.

Enjoying both village and rural life in the Peak District, Buxton is home to Heathfield Nook, whilst nearby Whaley Bridge is where homebuyers can find Midshires Meadow.

The desire to be closer to green, open spaces has never been greater for many homebuyers and for those looking to escape to the countryside, Barratt Homes’ Derbyshire developments are just the ticket.

In a survey completed by estate agency, Jackson-Stops, 52% of homebuyers want to live no more than a 20-minute walk away from green open space, making it the number one priority compared to other factors like commuting distance and amenities.

Properties at Heathfield Nook and Midshires Meadow offer prospective buyers an idyllic location to call home, whilst also having great access to the A6 means that travelling to Manchester, Stockport and Sheffield for work and retail therapy is a breeze.

Not only is Barratt Homes building luxury homes in these picturesque locations, but it has also created an abundance of public open space and made contributions to improve infrastructure.

Becky Leighton, Sales Manager at Barratt Homes Manchester, said: “It’s no surprise that High Peak is a property hotspot due to its stunning location and range of traditional homes available.

“Our properties in Derbyshire have continued to prove popular as the serene setting is a real draw for those looking to escape to the country.

“As both of our developments are selling very quickly with Heathfield Nook down to its final nine homes, we’d encourage keen house hunters to act quickly if they want to secure their slice of luxury living in this hidden gem.”

Buxton and Whaley Bridge are ideal for lovers of countryside and culture alike with the Peak District National Park on their doorsteps.

Modelled on Bath by the Dukes of Devonshire in the 18th century, Buxton has wide avenues and grand Georgian houses, which makes for a fine afternoon stroll through its centre, where the opera house awaits.

As well as its serenity, Whaley Bridge offers convenience, being only 16 miles from Manchester, and less than 10 miles from Buxton and Macclesfield.

Whaley Bridge town centre is within walking distance for those that enjoy retail therapy and desire quick access to local amenities, and the town offers a football and cricket club, as well as a sailing club, for residents that want to stay active and enjoy a fun day out.
The Barratt Homes developments have been designed with the local area in mind and have been built using stone and modern building techniques to deliver energy efficient properties that reduce running costs and help the environment.
