This historic country residence, dating back to the early 1600s, presents a remarkable opportunity for renovation and investment. Blackwall House, a Grade II Listed property built from Ashlar gritstone, has been cherished by the same family for over 400 years. While it boasts traditional architectural features such as elegant Venetian windows and charming fireplaces, there is scope to modernize the interiors to meet contemporary living standards. The main house spans approximately 5,607 sq ft across two levels and includes two separate apartments—Valley View and West Wing—each with independent access that could be utilized as rental units or guest accommodations.
Nestled on about 2.32 acres of beautifully maintained gardens, the property offers panoramic views over the surrounding countryside. The layout features spacious rooms including a grand reception hall, multiple living spaces with scenic views, a well-appointed kitchen with high-end appliances, and several bedrooms with en suite facilities. The existing structures provide ample opportunities for upgrading utilities and improving energy efficiency. Outdoor amenities include landscaped gardens and extensive grounds that enhance both privacy and leisure potential.
The strategic location near Kirk Ireton allows easy access to local amenities while being close to Derbyshire's natural beauty—ideal for various outdoor activities. Given its size, historical significance, and potential for expansion or modernization, this property is an excellent candidate for those looking to invest in a substantial renovation project.
