A handsome 17th-century stone longhouse set in an exceptionally private position within the Peak District National Park. The main farmhouse offers four double bedrooms, three reception rooms and a modern farmhouse kitchen, while a detached one-bedroom annexe provides flexible accommodation for guests, staff or rental income. Outbuildings and equestrian facilities sit alongside excellent grazing and woodland within the 11.4-acre holding.
This property will appeal to families and equestrian owners seeking countryside seclusion with direct access to bridleways, walks and country pubs. Period features — exposed beams, stone walls and flagged floors — are retained throughout and combine with contemporary fittings in the kitchen and bathrooms to create comfortable living spaces.
Practical considerations include an EPC rating of E, oil-fired central heating and double glazing installed before 2002; the stone walls are uninsulated (assumed), so energy performance and running costs are areas to consider. Broadband speeds are very slow and there is no mobile signal at the house, which may affect home working or connectivity.
The plot is substantial and adaptable: the current 11.4 acres include paddocks and stables, and up to a further 40 acres is available by separate negotiation. The setting is remote yet only a few miles from Macclesfield’s amenities and schools, making this a rare opportunity for those seeking an established country home with scope to tailor the land and outbuildings to their needs.
