В деревне Тиссингтон в Норт-Йоркшире запрещено покупать недвижимость из-за владения её одной семьей с 1460-х годов

Perfect Peak District village where no one is ever allowed to buy a home Tissington, near Ashbourne, has belonged to the same family since the 1460s — and every single home in the village is still theirs to keep Tucked away in a beautiful part of the Peak District is a charming village that feels like it's stuck back in time. ‌ Tissington sits on the southern edge of the Peak District National Park, not far from Ashbourne. It's a small place of less than 200 people, but that doesn't mean there's nothing going on. ‌ A duck pond at its centre is surrounded by St Mary's Church, cottages, and a tea room. It's often described as one of the prettiest villages in the Peaks, with an official grand entrance off the main road through wrought-iron gates and an avenue of 200-year-old lime trees leading down to the village. ‌ You'd forgive those living in Tissington for not giving up their place in such a tranquil slice of England. However, it's not residents' reticence to go that makes it impossible to buy a house there. Tissington is a genuine estate village. The whole place has belonged to the FitzHerbert family since the 1460s, and their home, Tissington Hall, a Jacobean manor built in 1609, still stands at the centre and remains a family home today. It is currently occupied by Sir Richard FitzHerbert. Most of the limestone cottages in the village were built in the early 19th century as estate housing. ‌ Sir Richard inherited Tissington in 1989 at the age of 24, following the death of his uncle, Sir John FitzHerbert. His father, Major the Rev David FitzHerbert, died in 1976. The estate is also made up of a candle shop, sweet shop and school, as well as 46 residential properties and four holiday lets. Homes are owned by the FitzHerbert family, not sold on the open market, and the cottages here are largely offered as holiday lets rather than private freehold sales. You can find listings for places like Gardener's Cottage, Hopper's Barn, and Nurse's Cottage as short-term rentals owned by Tissington Hall, but not properties for sale. ‌ Although it may not be the same as living there, a day trip to Tissington is well worth it. The village is famous for well dressing, a centuries-old tradition possibly dating to 1348, after the Black Death, in which the village's wells are decorated with elaborate floral displays. The manor house is open for a few dozen days of the year, with dates listed on its website. ‌ Tissington Hall was first built as a moated manor house, and replaced with the current property in 1609 by Francis FitzHerbert. It has an unusual layout, consisting of a main hall running through the house from front to back. In total, it has 61 rooms, including a 3,000-book library, and 48 chimneys.

The Limestone Way, a much longer, 46-mile footpath, also passes through the village, and is suitable for more serious walkers.
