Description
Set in a stunning rural location on the edge of the Peak District National Park this comfortable and stylish farmhouse, in mellow local stone under a slate roof, has been beautifully restored to create a delightful country home. There are three principal buildings including the main farmhouse, adjoining converted barns and a triple garage, offering further scope for conversion (subject to necessary consents) all extending to over 5142 sq ft of accommodation and garaging set in 2.73 acres of gardens and paddock.
The traditional farmhouse is believed to have been constructed in the late 1700’s. The interiors have been significantly yet sympathetically modernised and many of the charming character features remain. Worthy of particular note are the stone window sills, exposed stone walls, vaulted ceilings with original exposed beams and slate tiled flooring. The attached converted barns have been finished to a high standard throughout and enjoy tremendous levels of natural light. Upon approaching, the property makes a lasting first impression with sweeping country views from the driveway, with further panoramic vistas over the national park from within the substantial grounds. The farmhouse has flexible accommodation over two floors including four double bedrooms and three bathrooms, two of which are en suite. The principal suite bedroom has a walk-in dressing room and a stylish en suite. All of the bedrooms enjoy picturesque views of the surrounding countryside and the bathrooms have been finished to a contemporary and premium finish.
There are two impressive reception rooms, including the sitting room with an impressive fireplace with a multifuel stove, glorious views and access to the orangery and garden. The formal dining room has a dual aspect and a multifuel stove with stone fireplace resulting in a splendid room for entertaining.
The breakfast kitchen is well appointed with a traditionally designed David Lisle kitchen, with granite and oak worktops, tiled flooring with underfloor heating and a Mercury range cooker all beautifully appointed around an island perfect for informal dining. The breakfast area has a fitted pantry leading off and French doors opening to the garden. A rear hall/utility room lies off the kitchen, the spacious utility is fully fitted with an integrated dishwasher and space for a washing machine and dryer.
The attached barn conversion lies to the front of the farmhouse and offers spacious and versatile additional accommodation, including a family room, snug, boiler room, home office, fifth bedroom, bathroom and a leisure suite. This section of the property also has its own separate entrance and could be converted into a self-contained annexe or holiday let if required (subject to the necessary consents). The accommodation has been finished to an exceptional standard with lavish upgrades and touches including a multifuel stove, modern bathroom suite, beautiful decoration throughout and even a resistance swimming pool whilst retaining traditional barn features such as exposed wooden beams, stone walls and vaulted ceilings.
Externally the property enjoys a stunning rural setting with captivating views over the surrounding countryside. The driveway to the front and side of the property provides parking for several spaces and access to the detached stone-built triple garage. The stone-paved patio adjacent to the house provides ample space for outdoor entertaining and the perfect spot to take in the beautiful views across Teggs Nose Country Park.
