Hawkshead House is one of the largest and most historically significant private residences in Glossop.

A substantial period house of commanding scale and architectural presence, it has been comprehensively refurbished to preserve its historic character while delivering modern comfort, efficiency and performance. The result is a home where volume, craftsmanship and continuity define the experience of living there.

Space & Presence
Arranged across two extensive wings, Hawkshead House offers an unusually high level of internal volume, allowing rooms to remain generous, balanced and unforced. The scale provides genuine flexibility for family life, guests, multi-generational living or working from home, without compromise.
The double-height reception hall and galleried landing immediately establish the house’s proportions, setting a tone of order and permanence that continues throughout.
Principal living spaces include a substantial open-plan living kitchen, multiple reception rooms, a games room and a gym - all arranged to allow the house to be both impressive and comfortable on a daily basis.

Heritage with Modern Substance
Where modern intervention was required, it has been undertaken thoroughly and discreetly, with upgrades to insulation, heating, glazing, electrics and technology throughout.
This is a house that performs as well as it presents: warm, efficient and robust beneath its historic exterior.

Setting
Occupying a discreet edge-of-village position in Old Glossop, the property enjoys privacy and immediate access to countryside on the edge of the Peak District, while remaining close to amenities, schools and direct rail connections to Manchester.

Provenance
Hawkshead House has historical associations with Isaac Jackson, the industrialist whose work helped shape Glossop’s prosperity. Like many significant houses, it has evolved over time, each phase adding to its stature.
The current custodians have continued that tradition, restoring and refining the house with sensitivity, ensuring it remains relevant while retaining its identity.

A house of presence, volume and quiet continuity.
