The Clocking In House

About this property

As the name suggests, this historic cottage was where over the centuries, the mill workers would report to clock in for work. This quirky three bedroom property has the original office partitions and there’s still a punching in clock in the kitchen! The ground floor kitchen and sitting area has a wall of windows looking out to the mill and is a great place for a get together. There is also a double bedroom and shower room on this floor. The first floor is accessed by an external stone staircase, (we did say quirky!) where there are two further double bedrooms and a bathroom. The owner provides tea and coffee making facilities on this floor should you be the kind of person who cannot venture outside until you’ve had a morning cuppa. Note: This cottage can be booked with Refs. 926756 and 926757, together they sleep 17.

Situated on the borders of North West Derbyshire and Cheshire is the small town of New Mills, forming part of the Derbyshire Peak District. Although the settlement dates back to the 13th Century, the late 20th Century saw the Torrs Riverside Park, often called 'the park under the town' - come into being as a place for recreation and relaxation. To promote tourism in the area, the New Mills Heritage Centre was opened and visitors can enjoy this as well as The Torrs Millennium Walkway, a much-admired bridge set deep within the gorge. Just five miles away is Chapel en le Frith - the Capital of the Peaks - that boasts a cobbled market place complete with historic old stocks. The spa town of Buxton is within easy driving distance and is famous not only for its therapeutic spring water but also for its Pavillion Gardens and splendid Victorian Opera House.
