Callow Hall

Callow Hall is a stone country house featuring multiple chimneys and tall windows typical of Victorian-era design, situated near Ashbourne in Derbyshire. The building is surrounded by grounds and gardens that connect to the wider countryside landscape.

H. J. Stevens designed and built the house between 1849 and 1852 for John Goodwin Johnson, a local magistrate in the Derbyshire region. Johnson oversaw substantial estates throughout his tenure as a county official.

The property represents the evolution of English country estates, transitioning from a private residence to a commercial hospitality establishment in 1982.

The property offers accommodation and direct access to walking routes through Derbyshire's countryside. Visitors can explore marked paths through the gardens and surrounding landscape without difficulty.

The original owner was educated at Trinity College Cambridge and managed large estates without heirs to pass them to. This circumstance eventually led to the property being converted into hospitality use in 1982.
