This warm and inviting cottage sits in the heart of Flash, a peaceful and scenic village surrounded by vast open moorland and breathtaking views. Standing at 1,518 feet above sea level, Flash holds the honour of being the highest village in England. Its quiet lanes, stone cottages, and traditional longhouse farmsteads create a timeless countryside charm. Set on the southern slope of Axe Edge Moor, the village overlooks the rolling Staffordshire moorlands, the Derbyshire hills, and the Cheshire plain. From the doorstep, you can walk directly onto the Flash to Three Shires Head circular trail, where waterfalls tumble beneath old stone bridges at the meeting point of three counties. The dramatic cliffs of The Roaches and Ramshaw Rocks, and the mystical paths of Lud’s Church, are all close by. Buxton lies just 6 miles away, while Bakewell, Haddon Hall, and Chatsworth House are within 15 miles, offering the perfect mix of adventure and tranquillity.


Step in through the welcoming porch, a stylish, practical space for coats and boots after a day exploring the hills. To the right, the enchanting lounge offers a restful retreat with soft seating, warm tones, and a wood burner that can fill the room with a gentle glow. Original beams blend with soft interiors, creating a space that feels both timeless and lovingly cared for. It is the perfect spot for slow evenings, good company, and quiet moments after busy days out. To the left, the spacious kitchen forms a welcoming, social space. A large table invites everyone to gather for breakfast or supper, while the room’s natural light and thoughtful touches make it a joy to spend time in. From here, you will find a convenient downstairs bathroom and a useful utility room, perfect for drying clothes or washing up after a day outdoors. From the utility room, a short staircase leads to the annexe double bedroom, a peaceful space decorated in gentle tones, ideal for those seeking a little extra privacy. The main staircase, set between the lounge and kitchen, leads to the upper floor, where the king-size master bedroom sits to the left, and a double and twin room rest to the right, sharing a bright and modern family shower room.


Outside, a hot and cold tap makes washing boots and paws easy after muddy walks, and the patio seating area offers a peaceful place to sit back with a drink, breathe in the fresh country air, and take in the quiet rhythm of the moors.
