Surrounded by well-stocked mature gardens and enjoying far-reaching countryside views, the property sits in an enviable location with direct access to scenic walks and a wide range of outdoor pursuits. Taddington itself is a traditional limestone village nestled within the heart of the Peak District National Park. Known for its elevated position, it offers breathtaking views and a peaceful, unspoilt setting, ideal for those seeking a lifestyle surrounded by natural beauty. The village benefits from a strong sense of community, a local pub, historic church and a primary school, while also being within the catchment of the highly regarded Lady Manners Secondary School in Bakewell.
Its location between the market towns of Bakewell and Buxton provides the perfect balance of rural seclusion and accessibility, with both towns offering excellent local amenities, independent shops, cafes and transport links. Whilst also being in easy commutable distance of Sheffield and Manchester. With no upward chain, this is an exceptional opportunity to enjoy village life in one of Derbyshire’s most desirable and scenic locations.
The Old Parsonage presents an exceptional opportunity to enjoy expansive and adaptable family living set within a charming Derbyshire village. Spanning three thoughtfully designed floors, this distinguished residence seamlessly blends traditional character with modern sophistication. Original features, such as stone mullioned windows, sit harmoniously alongside premium finishes, creating an inviting and timeless interior. Bathed in natural light, the living spaces are airy and generously proportioned, offering versatility to accommodate a range of lifestyles and family needs.
Ground Floor
The front porch opens into a welcoming inner lobby and hallway, which includes a WC and a useful boot room. The main reception rooms are full of character and warmth, including a dual-aspect lounge with an elegant open fireplace, a formal dining room with built-in storage and a decorative fireplace and a comfortable sitting room with a log burning stove. At the heart of the home lies a handcrafted oak breakfast kitchen, featuring a classic double oven Aga and a walk-in pantry. Adjacent is a secondary kitchen and utility area, adding both convenience and flexibility for daily life or hosting larger gatherings.
Cellarage
The lower level opens up a wealth of additional space, with extensive barrel vaulted cellarage that includes three cellars currently used as a wine store, a traditional fuel room and a gym.
First Floor
Upstairs, the sense of space continues. A luxurious master suite spans dual aspects, incorporating a dressing area and an en-suite bathroom. A second double bedroom, also en-suite and accessible via a separate entrance, provides ideal guest accommodation or the possibility of independent living. Three additional double bedrooms, one with a vanity sink are complemented by a well-appointed family bathroom, completing the upper floors with both comfort and practicality.
Exterior
The exterior of The Parsonage is just as impressive, approached via a sweeping driveway with dual access points and ample off-road parking. Lush, mature gardens envelop the property, offering a tapestry of colour and texture with planted borders, established shrubs and tranquil seating terraces that invite outdoor enjoyment. A detached garage with an adjoining workshop and a first-floor home office further enhances the property's flexibility, with scope to convert into a self-contained annex or studio space, subject to the appropriate consents.
Altogether, The Old Parsonage is a stunning home that effortlessly combines space, light, and flexibility with timeless architectural charm, an ideal sanctuary in the heart of the Derbyshire countryside.
