9 bedroom detached house

Formerly a public house, The Waltzing Weasel is an imposing detached property currently operating as a successful, traditional family-run Bed and Breakfast. Dating back to the 17th century and now nearly 400 years old, the property retains a wealth of original features, including mullioned windows, and has been lovingly maintained by the current owners for over a decade.

The accommodation comprises eight en-suite guest bedrooms and a separate one-bedroom residential apartment, offering a thriving business opportunity. However, the property's potential is vast. Subject to planning permission, it could be converted into a magnificent family home, individual apartments, a care residence, holiday lets, or even a large-group holiday rental — a concept growing in popularity.

Located in the sought-after High Peak area, the property borders the Sett Valley Trail and enjoys breathtaking views of Kinder Scout and the surrounding countryside. It’s the ideal base for families, walkers, cyclists, and anyone seeking to unwind in natural beauty.

Nearby, the charming village of Hayfield — nestled at the foot of Kinder Scout — offers a rich heritage as the birthplace of the Right to Roam movement following the Mass Trespass of 1932. The village features a primary school, post office, local shops, pubs, cafés, and restaurants. Excellent transport links are available from the nearby towns of New Mills, Glossop, and Chapel-en-le-Frith, with rail connections to Manchester, Buxton, and Sheffield.

Externally, the grounds feature a large car park, York stone pathways, and a beautifully maintained raised lawn with mature flower beds. The views toward Kinder Low and Lantern Pike are simply outstanding.

Inside, the entrance vestibule leads to a grand oak staircase and a galleried landing framed by full-height picture windows. The ground floor includes two en-suite bedrooms, a formal dining area, a spacious commercial kitchen and prep room, a bar, and a large lounge currently used as the vendors' living space. There are also WC facilities and various storage and office rooms. A side entrance offers additional access from the main car park.

Upstairs, you'll find five more en-suite double bedrooms and a single en-suite room. The self-contained apartment includes a large bathroom, double bedroom, lounge, laundry room, linen room, and a converted loft with Velux windows and eaves storage.

With its stunning setting, historic charm, and flexible layout, The Waltzing Weasel represents an exceptional opportunity for both lifestyle buyers and investors alike.
