Summary - This five bedroom detached farmhouse is accompanied by a separate detached holiday cottage, range of outbuildings and land extending to 23.89 acres of which part has been used in recent years as a seasonal campsite enjoying the stunning views over the beautiful rolling Peak District National Park countryside toward the land mark of Thorpe Cloud

The Family Shower Room is situated between Bedroom Three and Four and is fitted with a three piece shower suite, while Bedroom Four is also a double bedroom and Bedroom Five is a spacious single bedroom.

The Piggery (Holiday Accommodation) - This property is situated across the farm yard from the main homestead and we understand this former barn has planning consent to be used as holiday accommodation. The main front door leads into a Dining Kitchen which has a range of kitchen units to one wall and tiled floor with internal access door to Sitting Room and stairs rising to the first floor. The Sitting Room has beams to ceiling and exposed timbers with alternative access door to front.

On the first floor is a Landing area which is used to house bunk beds for additional guests with access to the Shower Room fitted with three piece shower suite and to the area used as the main Bedroom with exposed flooring and Velux roof light windows.

Externally Gardens And Grounds - The property is accessed from Wood Lane via a private access drive which descends down to the property and opens out to reveal the stunning views over the rolling peak district countryside and the flattened peak of Thorpe Cloud. There is a gated access drive which leads between the main homestead and Piggery or alternatively a track which leads around to the campsite and to the lower level yard which provides vast amount of hardstanding and access to the large agricultural building.

The formal gardens are on the south side of the property providing a patio seating area, lawn and disused outside swimming pool which is covered.

Buildings - A particular feature of the property is the versatility and range of building, the most impressive building perhaps being the general purpose agricultural buildings situated on the south west edge of the site and offering potential for a multitude of uses, perhaps even potential to convert for residential use subject to obtaining necessary consent.

There is a storage building adjacent to the Piggery providing two storage rooms and attached to this building is a Garage/Workshop with double access doors.
