Yeardsley Hall: A Masterpiece of Medieval Provenance in the High Peak

This isn't just a house; it’s a piece of High Peak history that’s been carefully brought into the 21st century. Walking through the front door, you’re immediately hit by the scale of the heritage here, the massive 1400s timber door and the medieval post-and-beam construction aren't just decorative; they are the literal bones of the home.

The Heart of the Home
This home offers two exceptional spaces for relaxation and entertaining. The living room is anchored by a magnificent original inglenook fireplace with a heavy timber bressummer beam and a traditional stone hearth. A coal-effect gas stove provides instant warmth, while the parquet flooring and large sash windows add a layer of timeless sophistication.

In contrast, the sitting room is a truly expansive and light-filled space. Boasting dual-aspect windows, the room feels bright and airy throughout the day, emphasizing its generous proportions. At its heart sits a powerful log burner framed by an elegant Derbyshire limestone fireplace, creating a striking architectural feature that balances the room's grand scale with a sense of warmth.

The kitchen is the real engine room of the house. It’s open-plan, flowing right into the dining area, and it feels professional but lived-in. You’ve got a Lacanche cooker as the centrepiece, set against honed black granite worktops and those deep Belfast sinks we all love. The kitchen is kept organised with its walk-in pantry with solid wood shelving and a clever utility room that hides the washer and dryer behind built-in cupboards.

Versatility & Design
Innovation is woven into the very fabric of the house. The landing features a "truth window", a glass-encased portal revealing the original wattle and daub construction, serving as a striking conversation piece. For those seeking a professional sanctuary, the versatile bedroom-turned-office offers a tranquil environment for remote work.

Beyond the main walls, a stone-constructed annexe provides an exceptional home gym or private retreat. Complemented by a substantial three-part stone outbuilding, the property offers unparalleled flexibility for the collector or those requiring independent guest accommodation.


The Private Quarters
The principal suite, one of three generous bedrooms, is a sanctuary of grand proportions where a majestic original fireplace serves as a striking focal point against plush carpeting. Its private en-suite mirrors the home's high-specification finish, featuring a sleek, tiled walk-in shower and a traditional timber sash window.
Guest quarters are equally well-appointed; a second spacious bedroom benefits from its own private en-suite shower room, ensuring comfort and privacy for visitors or family members alike. Serving the rest of the home is a luxurious family bathroom designed for indulgence. This impressive space boasts a freestanding cast iron roll-top bath positioned to take in views across the rear aspect, alongside a separate shower room for added convenience.

The Grounds & Setting
The Grade II listed semi-detached Yeardsley Hall is set within roughly 1.09 acres of beautifully maintained grounds that perfectly capture the rugged elegance of the Derbyshire landscape. The gardens are a masterclass in texture and structure, where formal elements like the tranquil, stone-edged reflecting pool and manicured boxwood topiary meet the wilder beauty of the High Peak.

The arrival is just as practical as it is impressive. A generous driveway courtyard provides ample space for several vehicles and comes fully equipped with a modern EV charging point, ensuring the home is as ready for the future as it is rooted in the past.

Winding flagstone pathways lead you through a series of "garden rooms," from intimate sun terraces to expansive, emerald-green southern lawns. The entire estate is framed by historic gritstone walling and a majestic backdrop of mature trees, providing absolute privacy while framing panoramic vistas across the local countryside towards Eccles Pike and Kinder Scout.

The High Peak Life
Living here means you’re right in the heart of the Peak District National Park. You’ve got the boutique shops of Buxton and Bakewell just a short drive away, and despite the rural feel, the rail links to Manchester and Sheffield make it a genuinely easy commute for the modern executive.

For younger families, the village is home to the highly-regarded Furness Vale Primary and Nursery School, consistently rated 'Good' by Ofsted. Known for its warm, "small school" atmosphere and dedicated staff, it provides a nurturing environment where children can thrive from the very beginning of their educational journey, to the nearby secondary options including the well-performing New Mills School and Chapel-en-le-Frith High School. This combination of a tight-knit community, stunning natural surroundings, and quality education makes Furness Vale an idyllic place to raise a family.

You really need to see the 3D tour to get a feel for the flow, but nothing beats standing in that inglenook yourself. Get in touch to book a private walkthrough.
