The Old Engine House, a historic property in the picturesque village of Buxworth, is a luxurious four-bedroom detached home that beautifully combines early 19th-century industrial heritage with modern comforts.

A stone-paved patio area offers an idyllic spot for al fresco dining or serene contemplation, while stone steps lead to a sprawling lawn with awe-inspiring countryside views. Additional fields surrounding the property add to the sense of space, with one thoughtfully converted into a picturesque wildflower meadow. The practicalities are not forgotten with a versatile garage, ample parking space, and easy access both for vehicles and pedestrians. This unique property promises a lifestyle of luxury, history, and natural beauty that is simply unparalleled.
