Set at the end of Church Lane in the Peak District village of Elkstones, Furlong is a spacious four-bedroom farmhouse sitting in about 7.87 acres of gardens, paddocks and outbuildings. The house was formerly two cottages, so it naturally provides flexible living — separate ground-floor accommodation or an office that could serve as a fifth bedroom. Solar panels add an income stream and some underfloor heating is installed to parts of the ground floor.
The plot includes substantial, powered outbuildings: a stable block (24' x 30'5) and a large workshop (27'1 x 29'8) with lighting, power, inspection pit and electric door, useful for small-scale equine, hobby or business use. Planning permission (NP/SM/0318/0228) has been granted to extend the main dwelling, offering clear scope to increase living space or customise layout to suit a growing family.
Practical considerations are straightforward and important: the house is of traditional granite construction (pre-1900) and cavity/solid-wall insulation should be assumed limited; heating is mixed gas and oil with boilers and radiators. Broadband speeds in the area are very slow and council tax is above average. The location is peaceful and remote with very low crime, good local primary schools nearby and easy access to walking and cycling routes — ideal for buyers prioritising space, privacy and countryside lifestyle rather than urban connectivity.
