Summary - DARLEY HOUSE, 21 FLAT 3 MARLBOROUGH ROAD BUXTON SK17 6RD
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Large top-floor character flat near Buxton town centre, chain-free with long lease.
Top-floor two-bedroom apartment with spacious living room
Light-filled top-floor living in a handsome early 20th-century stone building, this two-bedroom apartment combines period character with practical modern updates. The large living room with three sash windows and gas fire frames open views (including Solomon’s Temple) and creates a welcoming social space for sitting or entertaining. Two generous double bedrooms, fitted wardrobes and a well-equipped kitchen support comfortable everyday life, while a contemporary bathroom with both shower and roll-top bath adds a touch of luxury.
The apartment sits within well-maintained communal gardens and occupies the third floor of a small block, offering privacy and pleasant outdoor vistas. Practical positives include double glazing (installed post-2002), mains gas central heating and a long lease (circa 962 years). Vacant and offered chain-free, the home suits buyers who want a move-in ready period apartment close to Buxton town centre amenities and transport links.
A few practical points to note: the property is leasehold, so buyers should check service charges and ground rent, and access is via internal stairs to the top floor (no lift). The building’s traditional sandstone walls are likely uninsulated, so heating retention may be poorer than a modern build. Local crime levels are reported above average for the area; prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves on security and parking arrangements.
Overall this is a spacious, characterful apartment that will appeal to downsizers or buyers seeking a central, low-maintenance period home with scope to personalise. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale, ceiling heights and communal grounds firsthand.
