An opportunity to acquire a fine Grade II listed property on the edge of this sought after village in the heart of the Peak District National Park set in beautiful gardens of about 4.9 acres

Description

Baslow Hall is currently run as an exclusive country house hotel but, subject to planning consent, would make a very fine country house close to the centre of the village. The rooms are light and airy and accommodation is laid out over three floors. A sweeping driveway leads up through the grounds and gardens to a turning circle to the front of the house and then to a large car park to the rear of the property.

Ground floor: The front door opens into a lobby and then lovey, part panelled reception hall. An inner, staircase hall leads to the dual aspect drawing room with parquet wood floor, ceiling mouldings and with working fireplace with wood surround. The dining room, is substantial and made up of a larger, dual aspect front area and a smaller rear dining area. To the rear of the dining room is the charming ‘wine room’, overlooking the vegetable garden which is set up for private dining and has a temperature controlled wine wall. Off the staircase hall is a small office and guest cloakroom. The rear wing of house is given over to a large commercial kitchen which could be converted to create a wonderful kitchen/breakfast room in a private residence.

Half landing to first floor: large gentleman’s cloakroom with two WC’s.

First floor: landing giving access to the bedroom accommodation which currently is arranged as five bedroom suites with bathroom facilities and a further bedroom with sitting room and bathroom. In the wing of the house there are further six bedrooms, sitting room and a bathroom currently used for staff.

Second floor: this floor is currently used as a separate flat with a sitting room, two/three bedrooms, bathroom and dressing room.

Basement: this area is made up of a boiler room, wine cellar and store, spirit room, freezer room and dry storage room.

Garden room accommodation: this is situated to the rear of the wing of the main hall with the ground floor rooms around a pretty courtyard garden. The accommodation currently comprises four large bedroom suites but obviously offers great potential for alternative uses, possibly a billiard room, office or holiday cottage. To the first floor is another good bedroom and bathroom suite.

Garaging: situated between the wing of the hall and the garden room accommodation is a substantial four car garage.

Gardens: When our clients took on the Hall in 1988 it was a pretty bare canvas save for some beautiful, mature trees including chestnuts, cedars and pine which line the drive and two large old walnut trees on the edge of the kitchen garden. The result of their work has been the most beautiful gardens with lawns flanked by gravelled walk-ways and well stocked borders together with areas of woodland stuffed with bluebells and parkland, they have to be seen to be fully appreciated. To the side of the wing of the house the most fantastic, walled vegetable garden has been created with well laid out beds with walk ways between and a greenhouse to one side.
