OUR THOUGHTS

No. 39 is a house with genuine presence and one half of 'Spring Villas', built in 1873. Its imposing stone frontage sets the tone, while the original tiled hallway, stained glass, cornicing and soaring ceilings bring period character and a wonderful sense of scale.  

The bay-fronted living room combines far-reaching hillside views with wooden flooring and a log burner. There is also a beautiful multi-aspect sitting room, while the statement open-plan kitchen diner features a large picture window, second log burner, herringbone-style flooring, island, quartz worktops, Belfast sink and Smeg range cooker. A separate utility and WC take care of the practicalities while extensive cellars provide valuable storage.

Upstairs are four exceptionally generous bedrooms, including an en-suite principal bedroom and the bedroom to the front is studio-like in its proportions.  The top floor makes a superb office or guest room.

We adore the stained glass window on the landing and there's plenty of period features to enjoy throughout the entire home.

The tiered rear garden is quite extraordinary, extending much further than first appears with lawns, mature planting, seating areas and incredible views as you reach the top section.  There is also a useful garage/store and separate character outbuilding. 

The owners have made significant improvements to the property during their tenure and with the scale, architecture, views and personality this is a truly special home.

THE AREA

Birch Vale offers the best of High Peak living: open countryside on the doorstep, a village feel and easy access to the neighbouring communities of Hayfield and New Mills. The Sett Valley Trail passes through the village, providing a scenic traffic-free route towards both, while the surrounding hills and Peak District landscapes offer endless opportunities for walking, running and cycling.

Thornsett Primary School is situated within Birch Vale, with a wider choice of shops, cafés, leisure facilities and everyday amenities available in nearby New Mills. Bus services connect the village with New Mills, Hayfield, Glossop and Buxton, while New Mills Central provides rail services towards Manchester and Sheffield. New Mills Newtown offers an additional route towards Stockport and Manchester.

A very appealing setting for buyers who want a quieter, more rural way of life without feeling cut off – particularly commuters, families and anyone who loves to begin the weekend with a walk from their own front door.
