Baslow and Bubnell offer something special for those living in the heart of the Derbyshire Dales
Baslow and Bubnell have been named as the 'poshest places to live' in Derbyshire by The Telegraph.
Each year the national newspaper releases its list of 'posh' places, which is divided by county.
The picturesque area in the heart of the Derbyshire Dales offers the perfect blend of idyllic scenery and local amenities.
Baslow and Bubnell are often referred to as just 'Baslow' and are found around an hour from Derby.
The attractive village of Baslow is nestled on the northern fringe of Chatsworth Park and is close to some of the Dark Peak's most dramatic scenery.
The tiny hamlet of Bubnell stands adjacent and they are served by the same Parish Council.
The villages share many amenities including shops, pubs, and restaurants.
Baslow is home to the stunning Grade I listed St Anne's Church, which dates back to the 13th century. It features an impressive medieval tower and is known for its beautiful stained glass windows. Baslow Edge is a dramatic gritstone escarpment located just outside the village. It offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding countryside and is a favourite spot for hikers, climbers, and photographers.
Like Baslow, Bubnell enjoys a scenic location within the Peak District National Park, with rolling hills, lush greenery, and charming countryside vistas.
According to Rightmove, the average house price in Baslow is currently £621, 900, more than double the national average of £285,000. The average house price in Bubnell is even more eyewatering at £1,351000 - but remember there are fewer houses to sell.
Both villages are known for their peaceful and tranquil atmosphere, making them an ideal destination for those seeking a quiet retreat in nature.
