The Old School, Tideswell, Buxton, Derbyshire, SK17

Positioned in the picturesque village of Tideswell, this attractively presented Grade II listed former school has been thoughtfully converted to provide characterful accommodation with generously sized rooms throughout. The property boasts a quirky interior and offers extensive, versatile living space that must be viewed internally to be fully appreciated.
The accommodation presently comprises a comfortable and inviting sitting room, which is bright and airy thanks to its dual aspect that allows for an excellent degree of natural light. Features include charming mullion-style windows to the front and side, along with a stone fireplace incorporating a fitted log burning stove, creating a cosy focal point. A staircase rises from this room to the first floor, splitting into two flights serving different areas of the property.
The ground floor also benefits from a larger-than-average dining kitchen, which is amply equipped with a range of base and eye-level units with limed oak fronts and roll-top work surfaces. There is a single drainer stainless steel sink unit with mixer tap, along with built-in appliances including a four-ring gas hob, electric oven with extractor hood over, and space and plumbing for an automatic washing machine. The room is finished with tiled flooring for ease of maintenance, halogen spotlighting to the ceiling, and front-facing mullion windows, with access provided via the entrance doorway.
To one side of the property is the primary bedroom suite, which offers modern luxury and convenience. The en-suite bathroom is fitted with a contemporary white suite, including a corner shower enclosure, low flush WC, bidet, and pedestal wash hand basin with illuminated vanity mirror. The bedroom itself is spacious and features character elements such as mullion windows and useful fitted wardrobe units, adding to the overall charm and appeal.
A second bedroom is also located to the right side and is another generously proportioned double room, featuring loft-style ceilings, exposed beams, and plenty of character. At a lower split level, there is a well-appointed family bathroom fitted with a modern white suite, comprising a panelled bath with antique-style shower over, pedestal wash hand basin, and low flush WC. There is also a built-in under-stairs storage cupboard.
Externally, parking can be found to the side of the property, providing space for two vehicles. The gardens are a particularly unusual and appealing feature, being detached from the main house. They comprise a landscaped raised area with stone boundary walls, a lawn, and shrub borders, offering a pleasant and peaceful space to relax and enjoy during the summer months.
The property is situated in the highly regarded village of Tideswell, which offers a range of local amenities catering for everyday needs. For more extensive facilities, Buxton is easily accessible and provides a wide range of retail, leisure, and cultural amenities, including the renowned Buxton Opera House and Pavilion Gardens. The surrounding Derbyshire countryside offers beautiful scenery and a wealth of nearby villages, all easily explored via scenic drives through open countryside.
