Description

Viewings by appointment on Thursdays and Sundays 2.00pm - 4.00 pm. A traditional stone farmhouse with a total of 7.36 acres of land and gardens. The property enjoys a very well-screened position and is located within the Peak National Park, being approximately 4.5 miles away from Macclesfield and 7 miles from Buxton. The farmhouse comprises; open porch, entrance, a very impressive 22ft sitting room with vaulted ceiling and exposed beams, lounge with multi-fuel stove, kitchen, study and inner hall with stairs to the upper floor. CCTV cameras and screens are installed at the property. At first floor level there are two double bedrooms and a re-fitted shower room. The property does require some up-dating but offers huge potential for the incoming purchase to put their own stamp on it. There is also a substantial stone outbuilding fronting onto the roadside, which again offers great potential (subject to any planning/building regulation approval). The 6.92 acres of land is undulating upland pasture and is suitable for horses and grazing. A stream provides a good natural water supply to the land. A driveway leads down to the farmhouse from the roadside and there are areas for off road parking. Our clients have informed us that the solar panels were installed circa 2010 and have an original Feed-In Tariff (to be verified by solicitors). The sale of Bents Farm represents a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful property with good acreage, which enjoys a stunning picturesque location.
