While London was engulfed by the Great Fire of 1666, the Peak District was also undergoing smaller, but significant changes of its own as Chatsworth House completed extensive renovations under the 4th Earl of Devonshire, William Cavendish. As the finishing touches were being applied to the grand estate, the foundation stone was also being laid at this modest but handsome Peak District farmhouse in the nearby hamlet of Hopton.

Townend House is a Grade II-listed farmhouse at the heart of Hopton, a sleepy village close to Matlock and the historic spa town of Matlock Bath, near the banks of Carsington Water. The home, which spans approximately 3,261 sq ft, sits within 2.25 acres of gardens, with woodland and paddocks to the north. Climbing roses frame the front door, while inside, a historic lintel bears the date 1666.

Townend House is listed via Inigo for £750,000. Inside the six-bedroom farmhouse, the entrance features timber rafters overhead and manor-style flooring underfoot, along with solid wooden doors with thumb latches—tiny details that recall the house’s long history. Oak beams crown the kitchen, where the original fireplace has been inset with a modern wood-burning stove (similarly, the inglenook fireplace in the dining room also has a stove). The kitchen has been updated with Shaker-style cabinetry, and pots and pans hang from hooks—practical and stylistically coherent with the house’s heritage.

The bedrooms are located on the second level, accessed by an open-tread Japanese red oak staircase (the floorboards are also made of this rich timber). The highlight is the primary suite, featuring a stone hearth inset with a cast-iron range and lime plaster surrounds, with windows framing views of Carsington Water beyond the fields.

Three additional double bedrooms are also on the first floor, two with fireplaces, all with original floorboards and beamed ceilings, as well as views over the Derbyshire landscape. Up another level, the attic houses two more bedrooms, set within the house’s sloping eaves. Casement windows frame views at floor level, and these two rooms also have basins—another nod to the house’s long history. Today, they could be used as quiet study areas.
