Description

Dating from 1907, this six-bedroom Arts and Crafts house was designed by architect Charles Swain and retains a range of period features, including stained glass, panelled walls, parquet flooring, decorative plasterwork and fireplaces. The accommodation is arranged over three floors and includes a large reception hall, several reception rooms, a conservatory, a garden room, a study and multiple bathrooms, including en-suite facilities. The bespoke Mark Wilkinson kitchen is fitted with integrated cabinetry and a range-style cooker. Planning permission is stated to have been granted for a single-storey rear extension to create a larger kitchen-dining space; the permission and its status should be checked as part of due diligence. The house stands in approximately two-thirds of an acre of wraparound gardens with lawns, mature trees and established planting. A gated driveway provides off-road parking and leads to a two-storey garage. Located on Temple Road in Buxton, the property combines substantial accommodation and original architectural detail with scope to adapt the layout and kitchen area to suit future requirements.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

61out of 100
Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

Brantwood House stands out for its Arts & Crafts character: parquet, extensive timberwork, stained glass and decorative plasterwork give the spacious reception areas a strong sense of place. The maintained grounds, driveway and garage add to the appeal, while the clean, serviceable kitchen and usable accommodation provide a solid base rather than a major renovation project.

At £270/sqf, the asking price is slightly below the local average of £274/sqf, which is a positive for a substantial six-bedroom home. The light works—principally updating some décor, carpets and older bathroom finishes—leave room to tailor the interiors, and the stated rear-extension permission is worth verifying. The C grade reflects the moderate overall economics, so this is a character-led opportunity rather than an obvious value-margin play.

Key opportunities

  • Preserve and showcase the stained-glass bow window, parquet, timberwork and decorative ceilings while refreshing dated reception-room colours and soft finishes.
  • Update the older-style bathroom finishes to suit a buyer’s taste; the photographed fittings appear usable, making this a choice rather than an evidenced essential.
  • Verify the stated permission and feasibility for a single-storey rear extension.
