Description

This detached six-bedroom home in Tideswell is arranged over three floors and offers several reception rooms, five bathrooms, private parking and a detached double garage. The entrance hall connects to a study, dining room and sitting room, which opens onto the rear garden. The fitted dining kitchen has integrated appliances and leads through to a further lounge with a brick fireplace and log-burning stove. A utility area and cloakroom WC provide additional practical space. Four double bedrooms are on the first floor, three with built-in storage and en-suite shower rooms. The fourth is served by a Jack and Jill-style bathroom. Two more double bedrooms and a shower room occupy the second floor. The garage has an adjoining utility room and WC; conversion to an annex is described as a possibility, subject to planning permission and other consents. Outside, a gated driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles and access to the double garage. The rear garden includes established borders, a seating terrace and a summer house. Tideswell has village shops, cafés, pubs, restaurants and a primary school, with Bakewell and Buxton also within reach. The house offers substantial existing accommodation, while any changes to the garage or other parts of the property would require the relevant consents to be checked.
