Denise White Estate Agents
This charming detached stone farmhouse and barn is nestled in a breath-taking setting within the Peak District National Park. Constructed from mellow stone and topped with a stone-flagged roof, the property harmoniously blends into its stunning scenic surroundings.
Filled with character, the farmhouse has been thoughtfully renovated and continuously improved by our clients, achieving a high standard while maintaining the cosy charm typical of a traditional farmhouse. There’s still so much potential to expand the accommodation—there’s room to extend to the side into the existing footprint, where useful garage space currently sits. Plus, there’s a fabulous detached stone outbuilding that was once used for farming but is now eager for transformation! The possibilities are endless—whether it's creating holiday accommodation, office space, an annex for dependent relatives, or even converting it back for livestock.
Inside, the farmhouse boasts spacious and versatile accommodation. The dining hall features a stunning stone-flagged floor, complete with period cupboards, and a window seat that overlooks the beautiful scenery. A traditional staircase leads you to the first floor. Off to the right, the sitting room invites you in with its lovely period fireplace, raised hearth, and log-burning stove. Dual-aspect windows with a stone trough feature provides a window seat to enjoy the views.
The modern kitchen, recently refurbished in 2024, is perfect for families, featuring a range of wall and base units with integrated appliances and a Thornhill range-style cooker with two plates and three ovens. There’s also a breakfast island with storage and a seating area for casual dining. Adjacent to the kitchen, you’ll find a utility room equipped with plumbing for a washing machine and additional storage space, along with a newly fitted ground floor cloakroom/shower room.
The landing leads to four inviting bedrooms, with the main bedroom having a beautiful stone fireplace. There are two additional double bedrooms, both with front-facing windows, one featuring a charming period fireplace. The fourth bedroom is generous in size and could easily be subdivided if needed.
The substantial stone barn, measuring 1,742 sq ft, offers fantastic further opportunities, subject to the necessary permissions.
Adjoining the farmhouse, you’ll find a spacious garage store equivalent to two double garages, which is open-fronted for easy access. The land extends beyond the garden and yard to include a field and a long driveway, totalling approximately 6.3 acres—ideal for enjoying the great outdoors!
