The Chateau & Wye House Suites is a complex of modern serviced
apartments which were built in the grounds of Corbar Hill House,
located on the site of the former greenhouses, nurseries and
botanical gardens, in a fabulous arboreal setting surrounded by
mature trees and a rich assortment of shrubs and plants with an
avenue of topiary trees.
Now listed Grade II, Corbar Hill House has been sympathetically
restored and brought back to life with careful consideration to
detail and using quality materials which are locally sourced as
much as possible. Corbar Hill House has been fitted with super
insulation, low energy fitments and under floor heating to make it
as environmentally friendly and energy efficient as it is possible
to be.
Taking advice and guidance from conservationists and planners,
Corbar Hill House was restored to such a high standard that it is
above and beyond any normal renovation project. Several of Buxton’s
large 19th century buildings have disappeared through demolition
and some are currently under threat due to lack of general
maintenance, dry rot infestation, damp and decay, but Corbar Hill
House is a survivor having been rescued from the brink of oblivion
and is now facing a much happier long-term future.
