The property lies close to the renowned Cavendish Golf Course, an Alister MacKenzie design opened in 1925; MacKenzie also designed the Augusta National, and Cavendish is regarded by many as his inspiration for it, being consistently voted among the top 100 courses in England. Buxton town centre offers an excellent range of independent retailers, High Street names, cafés and restaurants around the pedestrianised Spring Gardens, alongside the renowned Opera House and the 23-acre Pavilion Gardens, while Buxton railway station provides regular direct services to Manchester Piccadilly.
