Buxton Road, Furness Vale, SK23

Occupying an end-terrace position, this deceptively spacious three double bedroomed Victorian home offers a rare combination of period integrity, generous proportions and picturesque surroundings. Behind its traditional façade lies a home of warmth and character, where original features have been carefully preserved to celebrate its heritage. A practical entrance vestibule leads through to a beautifully proportioned living room. Here, an open working fire forms a striking centrepiece, creating an inviting atmosphere ideal for relaxed evenings and entertaining. An original larder cupboard provides both practical storage and a charming nod to the home’s Victorian past.

To the rear, the spacious and light-filled kitchen and dining area serves as the perfect setting suited to modern family life. Thoughtful enhancements including gas central heating and double glazing ensure comfort and efficiency, while preserving the property’s authentic character (EPC Rating D). Upstairs, three well-appointed double bedrooms offer excellent versatility. The principal bedroom features its own open fireplace — an elegant focal point that enhances the sense of period refinement.

The rear garden has been thoughtfully designed for low-maintenance enjoyment, beautifully laid with Indian stone paving and enclosed by traditional dry-stone walling and a distinctive timber-clad side wall with integrated planters. The result is a private, characterful outdoor retreat that complements the home perfectly. Two brick outbuildings provide additional storage — a rare and valuable feature for a property of this era. Beyond the garden lies a green embankment and railway line, creating an open aspect with ever-changing countryside views and a tangible connection to the surrounding landscape.

Ideally positioned for both convenience and lifestyle, the property benefits from excellent bus and rail connections, making commuting straightforward. The vibrant towns of New Mills and Whaley Bridge are just a short distance away, offering an appealing range of independent shops, cafés, amenities and leisure facilities.
