The reason why Gardener’s Cottage, then named Park House, was spared remains a mystery. Some say it was left so as not to disturb an elderly occupant, others say that as it isn’t visible from Chatsworth House its removal wasn’t required under the landscaping plans.

The cottage was refurbished by the Duchess of Devonshire and now provides luxurious self-catering holiday accommodation for six people. It was renamed at the time, taking its name from the occupation of the previous occupier.
