Wyebank, Bakewell, DE45

Situated in the picturesque market town of Bakewell, Water House is an attractive, traditionally stone-built three-bedroom semi-detached home, combining period character with modern comforts in a sought-after Peak District setting. The property is within easy reach of Bakewell’s independent shops, cafés, schools and everyday amenities, as well as Bakewell Recreation Ground, nearby parkland and scenic walks along the River Wye. The wider countryside of the Peak District National Park is close at hand.


An inviting entrance hallway leads to the principal ground-floor rooms. At the front of the house, the generous living room benefits from a charming bay window and an attractive wood-burning stove with multi-fuel capability, installed just a few years ago. Together, these create a welcoming space for relaxing throughout the year.


The spacious kitchen diner features a modern range of units arranged in a practical U-shaped layout, with integrated appliances and space for additional freestanding appliances. There is ample room for a family dining table, making it a sociable space for everyday meals and entertaining. A useful utility and rear porch area provides additional practicality, with a side entrance and storage cupboard. The ground floor also includes a modern shower room/wet room with a shower, wash hand basin and WC.


Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom overlooks the rear garden and offers comfortable double accommodation. The second bedroom, positioned to the front, is another generous double and benefits from fitted wardrobes. The third bedroom is a versatile single room, suitable for a child’s bedroom, guest room, nursery or home office. The recently refurbished, fully tiled family bathroom has a contemporary three-piece suite comprising a bath with shower over, wash hand basin and WC.


Outside, the private, fully enclosed rear garden is designed for both relaxation and entertaining. A generous patio provides plenty of space for outdoor dining and gatherings, complemented by a decorative gravelled seating area and well-kept, level lawn. At the rear of the garden is a substantial 8 ft × 10 ft shed, providing useful storage for bicycles, garden equipment and other household items.


The house also benefits from a generous loft space, currently used for storage, together with a substantial log store to the side, convenient for keeping fuel for the stove. To the front, a gravelled driveway provides off-road parking for two vehicles.
