The Farmhouse is situated within a small development which includes two barn conversions, formerly known as Old Park Farm, which sits on a quiet country lane about 1.5 miles outside the village of Brailsford. Brailsford has a pub, a post office, a church and a primary school. A wider range of shops and facilities can be found in the historic market town of Ashbourne, about 6 miles to the west, or the city of Derby, being 10 miles south-east. The Farmhouse is also well located for easy access to the A52 which provides a quick link to Derby, and also to the A38 and M1 motorway. Derby Railway Station provides a mainline service to London St Pancras in approximately one and a half hours.


The southern tip of the Peak District National Park is about 8 miles away providing spectacular walks and a wide range of other sporting activities including cycling, fishing, sailing, and climbing. This beautiful region is home to some of the country's finest stately homes, enchanting market towns and picturesque villages. Local attractions include the beautiful valley of Dove Dale, Alton Towers, and Carsington Water. Brailsford has a primary school, whilst secondary schooling is available at the well-regarded Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School in Ashbourne. There are a number of independent secondary schools within reach, which include Derby Grammar School and Derby High School, Denstone College, Repton School and Trent College.
