The Old Manor House, Wirksworth
The Old Manor House dates back to 1680 and is situated close to the centre of the ancient, market town of Wirksworth on the southern edge of the Peak National Park.
The house is built of Derbyshire sandstone with many of it's original features retained. The current custodians Ivan and Sandie Spurrier-Smith have spent the last 18 years or so restoring the house to it's former glory and have furnished it with period furniture, creating a very elegant home.
The house stands in an acre of formal gardens, including a walled kitchen garden providing seasonal fruit and vegetables for family and friends. A large lawned area surrounds the house and gives way to a lower level of more formal period flower beds. On a warm afternoon relax in the gazebo looking back towards the main house.
At the Old Manor House you will be treated to outstanding hospitality as there is only one guest bedroom with its own superb private bathroom.
You will be invited to take tea or coffee in the Drawing room on arrival.
The sumptuously romantic décor of your room which boasts an antique four-poster bed and has views of the garden, provides the perfect choice for that special occasion. Within your room you will find your hospitality tray with many different varieties of tea and coffee.
