Thornsett, Birch Vale, SK22

Welcome to The Old New Inn — a storybook home rich in local heritage, lovingly transformed from its former life as a 19th-century village inn. Nestled in the peaceful hamlet of Thornsett, this 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom detached residence blends timeless character with considered modern updates across 2,180 sq ft.

Inside, the property retains its charming pub-era features: exposed beams, original fireplaces and gorgeous stonework. The heart of the home is the bespoke country kitchen, complete with an Aga and picture windows framing pastoral views. Two generous reception rooms offer flexible space for entertaining or relaxing beside the fire.

Upstairs, four well-proportioned double-bedrooms share the same sense of rustic warmth, while the bathrooms are tastefully updated to offer modern comfort.

Set amidst the stunning backdrop of the High Peak, this home offers generous garden space perfect for al fresco dining, gardening, or soaking up the countryside air. A unique chance to own a piece of Derbyshire’s story — beautifully rewritten for modern living.
