Summary - CRONKSTONE LODGE EARL STERNDALE BUXTON SK17 0DE
6 bed 4 bath Detached
Substantial stone country home with 4.4 acres, flexible income and family living potential.
Flexible layout: principal house, attached cottage and converted barn
Cronkstone Lodge is a substantial stone country home set in about 4.4 acres of formal gardens, paddock and woodland within the Peak District National Park. The principal house, attached cottage and a converted barn provide flexible living — ideal for multi‑generational families or a combined owner-occupation and holiday‑letting model. The property extends to approximately 4,836 sq ft (454.5 sq m) of accommodation, with useful outbuildings, garaging, workshop and a separate home office.
Practical strengths include an air‑source heat pump (installed 2017) serving much of the principal house, three‑phase power to the wooded area, CCTV and provision for Starlink internet. The barn and cottage are already laid out with their own kitchens and en suites, offering immediate rental potential or independent living. Grounds are a major asset: mature screening, lawns, terraces, a pond, paddock and woodland creating privacy and strong countryside views in every direction.
Buyers should note material practicalities plainly. Broadband speeds at the property are very slow from the public network (vendor uses Starlink); there is no mobile signal on site. The property uses a private septic tank and the barn/cottage have oil‑fired heating rather than the house’s ASHP; EPCs are D & D. The house is not listed, but being inside the National Park will affect planning and alteration scope — purchasers should obtain professional advice before undertaking significant works.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a large, adaptable country holding near Buxton, Bakewell and Hartington. It suits a buyer seeking privacy, outdoor space and flexible accommodation, whether for long‑term family use, holiday income or smallholding pursuits. Practical checks on services, planning limitations and heating systems are advised before offer.
