Decorated by the Duchess of Devonshire

Russian Cottage is situated in a secluded location near Calton Lees, overlooking acres of idyllic farmland. Approached along a private road through bluebell woods, the property offers the perfect getaway, but is only a 25-minute walk through the Park to Chatsworth.

Unfortunately the access road is not suitable for low profile vehicles.

The Cottage was built following a gift of a model of a Russian Farm to the 6th Duke of Devonshire in 1855 from the brother of Tsar Nicholas of Russia. The Tsar and the 6th Duke had become friends following the Duke’s visit to Russia in 1826 when he served as the British Ambassador to the Coronation.

An exchange visit in 1844 was planned but unfortunately, the Tsar had to cancel his visit. Instead, the Duke was sent an intricate model of a Russian farmhouse as a reminder and keepsake, from which became the inspiration to build Russian Cottage.
