Park Lodge is a distinguished Grade II listed Georgian residence within the private Park Hall estate, offering grand, light-filled rooms, sweeping grounds and exceptional seclusion. Properties of this calibre are seldom available.
The setting is steeped in heritage. Once forming part of the former east wing of Park Hall Manor—long celebrated for its architectural importance—Park Lodge carries the hall’s early 19th-century character into the present day. The principal house, dating from 1812, remains a local landmark, while the estate’s history includes such evocative details as an outdoor swimming pool built in 1934, which welcomed the public until 1970. Today, Park Lodge enjoys the peace and beauty of the Peak District National Park, just moments from Little Hayfield and Hayfield.
Inside, period detailing takes centre stage: soaring ceilings, ornate cornicing, shuttered sash windows and a graceful sequence of reception rooms, including a magnificent drawing room arranged around an impressive fireplace. The family kitchen is designed for gatherings, with a dining area and original fitted cupboards, while additional rooms offer quiet corners for reading, work or play. Upstairs, an expansive second drawing room, five generous bedrooms—including a palatial main suite—and two bathrooms provide superb flexibility for family life and guests. The house benefits from mains gas and drainage, with water supplied by a dedicated borehole.
Set within around a third of an acre, the landscaped grounds balance elegance and ease. Mature lawns, woodland edge and sheltered terraces offer a variety of outdoor spaces, while a stone-built store, garage/workshop and forked driveway ensure practicality alongside charm. Privacy is outstanding, yet village amenities, walks and countryside lie just beyond the gates.
