Summary - 50 PARK ROAD BUXTON SK17 6SN
8 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious listed home with large gardens close to Buxton attractions.
Grade II listed Victorian detached villa with original features
A commanding Grade II listed Victorian detached villa set on over half an acre of formal gardens close to Buxton town centre. The house offers grand period proportions — high ceilings, bay and sash windows, original cornices and multiple feature fireplaces — across three main storeys plus extensive cellar rooms and attic space. Spacious reception rooms and eight bedrooms make it suitable for multi-generational living or for someone seeking an impressive principal residence with room for guests and hobbies.
The plot and setting are standout assets: a sweeping gravel drive, detached double garage and mature lawns with specimen trees provide privacy and great curb appeal. The location is very convenient for Buxton’s cultural amenities, parks, golf course and a nearby station with frequent trains to Manchester, while local primary and secondary schools are within easy reach.
Practical considerations are important. As a listed building, works will require listed-building consent and may limit alterations; this will complicate modernisation. The property has secondary glazing and original stone walls likely without modern insulation, so upgrading thermal performance and services could be needed. There are only two bathrooms for eight bedrooms, and council tax is described as expensive. The area’s crime level is above average, which some buyers will want to factor into security planning.
This is a rare opportunity to buy a substantial, character-rich home with major garden space and significant potential. It will suit a buyer comfortable managing sensitive refurbishment and listed-building processes, particularly retirees or families seeking period character, generous accommodation and private grounds in Buxton.
