Detached houseNorth West
This traditional three-bedroom residence offers a distinct opportunity for renovation and investment, set on a spacious plot of approximately 3.55 acres. The property includes several outbuildings, all situated in a prime village location that is easily accessible and provides potential for various interests, such as equestrian activities or small-scale farming.
Located in the picturesque village of Dove Holes at the edge of the Peak District, this home is within walking distance to local shops and amenities. Nearby towns like Buxton (3.5 miles south), Chapel-en-le-Frith (3 miles north), and Whaley Bridge (6.5 miles northeast) provide additional facilities and services. Major cities including Manchester, Sheffield, and Stockport are reachable within a 25-mile commute, making this an attractive option for those seeking a rural lifestyle with urban conveniences. The property enjoys lovely rural views and has straightforward access to transport links via the nearby A6 road and Dove Holes railway station, which offers direct services to both Manchester and Buxton.
Internally, the house features a classic stone design that invites creativity in its modernization journey. Upon entry, a spacious hallway leads to a reception room on one side and an open-plan dining room that flows into a lounge with dual-aspect windows overlooking the garden on the other side. The kitchen is located at the rear of the property with access to the cellar, rear porch, and cloakroom with a w/c. The first floor comprises three generous double bedrooms along with a family bathroom and an airing cupboard. While updates are needed throughout to bring it up to contemporary standards, this presents an excellent chance for buyers to tailor renovations to their personal preferences.
Externally, the property boasts generous outdoor space that includes a private lawned garden bordered by mature trees alongside off-road parking. A collection of traditional outbuildings at the back of the house offers versatile potential; these structures were formerly used for agricultural purposes but could easily be adapted for stabling animals, creating workshops, or serving as general storage space. Notably, one outbuilding—the Shippon—adjoins the main dwelling and holds promise for conversion into additional living accommodation (subject to planning consent). Other structures include a divided stone-built garage and several barns.
The surrounding paddocks extend approximately 3.55 acres of permanent pasture suitable for grazing or mowing operations. These parcels are enclosed by traditional dry stone walls and subdivided internally with ample access from both the yard area near the house and an additional entrance from the roadside.
