Set within the Peak District National Park, New Cottage Farm is a substantial stone farmhouse accompanied by about 22.2 acres of pasture and outbuildings. The house offers flexible family accommodation across two/three reception rooms and four or five bedrooms, plus a large kitchen and a single principal bathroom. Mature, well-stocked gardens and far-reaching valley views reinforce the rural appeal.
Practical equestrian or smallholding uses are supported by two stone stables with loft rooms (power and light connected) and extensive grazing land. A detached garage/store and gravel driveway provide parking for several vehicles. The property has traditional features such as parquet floors, stone surrounds and wood-burning/multi-fuel stoves that underline its character and potential.
Buyers should be clear about the material realities: the house dates from before 1900 and walls are stone with assumed no cavity insulation, heating is oil-fired to radiators, and the drainage is a private septic tank. Mobile phone signal is absent and broadband speeds are very slow, reflecting the remoter hamlet location. There is only one bathroom for up to five bedrooms and council tax is described as quite expensive.
This will suit purchasers seeking a countryside lifestyle—families, equestrian users or investors looking for a smallholding with development potential (subject to planning). The house appears habitable but will reward upgrading: insulation, heating review, kitchen/bathroom improvement and possible conversion of outbuildings (with consent). The location, land size and character make this a rare Peak District opportunity.
