Exterior and Gardens
This property is a wonderful opportunity that will appeal to a variety of purchasers. Whether you’re looking to start fresh, continue or build on the existing holiday let business, host weddings/small events, run a retreat, or accommodate multi-generational living, the scope of possibilities make this a truly unique offering (some uses will be subject to planning).
A long, sweeping driveway firstly arrives at the main house, which sits behind an expansive lawn, creating an attractive impression that combines beautifully with the striking stone façade. On the ground floor is a fabulous dining kitchen and sizeable lounge that overlook the beautiful vistas, plus a delightful sitting room. Linked via a useful pantry, the ground floor extends into a work kitchen, utility and laundry rooms, rear hallway, two storage rooms and an office, all of which are currently utilised for the day-to-day running of the holiday lets, but offer great potential for incorporating into the main living space. The first floor provides ample room for a growing family, with six good-sized bedrooms, including two with en-suites. Externally, the main house also has the benefit of a separate parking area to one side of the house and a stone flagged patio along the front elevation overlooking the views.
The main driveway continues into a sizeable car park that accommodates plenty of parking for guests, and extends into a central courtyard, which the holiday cottages are arranged around. The eight individually named cottages provide wonderfully traditional guest accommodation with dedicated outdoor areas, plus an extensive ‘guest garden’ containing seating terraces and barbecuing facilities. There is also a two-storey leisure building, which offers scope for adaptation into further living space, and comprises a group dining room, preparation kitchen, laundry room and a games room.
Included within the farm’s 23 acres are six large paddocks, ideal for grazing land, use as part of the letting business, or for equestrian usage with an existing stone barn containing three stores that could be easily converted to stables.
The site is ideally located just a 5-minute car journey away from Bakewell, where there are a host of shops, restaurants, cafes and public houses. Locally, there are highly regarded schooling options, including Lady Manners, St. Anselm’s, Bakewell CE Infants and Bakewell Methodist Voluntary Controlled Juniors. Many Peak District attractions are easily accessible, such as the renowned Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall, Heights of Abraham and Thornbridge Gardens. From the doorstep, a public footpath a couple of fields away allows scenic walks and connections to Over Haddon, Magpie Mine, Sheldon, Lathkill Dale, Bakewell and Ashford. Also nearby are the edges of Curbar, Frogatt and Baslow where magnificent walks and views can be experienced, plus the 8.5-mile-long Monsal Trail, Mam Tor and Derwent & Ladybower reservoirs. Rail travel is available from Matlock, Chesterfield and Buxton, and Sheffield is a short drive away.
