Green Lane, Buxton

A landmark 2,216 sq ft (205.9m²) Victorian home with distinctive turret, private gardens and exceptionally spacious 3/4 bedroom accommodation arranged over four floors.

Instantly recognisable by its distinctive turret, the house combines wonderful period character with the scale, flexibility and practicality required for modern family life. Behind its handsome stone façade are some genuinely impressive spaces: a magnificent 21'7" principal reception room, a 21' kitchen/diner opening directly onto the garden, three exceptionally generous bedrooms and a further lower-ground-floor room which has previously been used as guest accommodation, but would work equally well as a snug, home office, gym or potential fourth bedroom.

The sense of space is difficult to appreciate from the bedroom count alone. The principal bedroom measures approximately 21'9" × 16'0" (6.63m × 4.88m) plus the turret bay, while the main lounge is similarly substantial at approximately 21'7" × 15'8" (6.58m × 4.78m) plus bay. High ceilings, original fireplaces, stripped timber floors, stained glass and the distinctive turret windows give the house enormous character throughout.

Outside, mature gardens wrap around two sides of the property, creating an unusually green and private setting. Established trees, hedging and planting provide excellent screening, while a detached garage and driveway provide off-road parking for two vehicles.

The position offers a combination that is increasingly difficult to find in Buxton: open countryside directly opposite, schools close by and the town centre within easy walking distance.
