17th-century five-bed farmhouse with panoramic Peak District views and substantial outbuildings.
Five double bedrooms and two large family bathrooms with copper baths
Salt Springs Farm is an exceptional Grade II listed 17th-century farmhouse set on a quarter-acre plot in the Peak District with uninterrupted panoramic countryside views. The house offers a substantial and flexible layout across two floors — five bedrooms, two large family bathrooms with distinctive copper baths, generous reception rooms including a double-height vaulted lounge and a traditional country dining kitchen with a cast-iron wood-fired range. Extensive cobbled parking, a garage and useful two-storey outbuildings add practical space for hobbies, storage or potential conversion (subject to consent).
This is a rural family home for buyers who value character and space: exposed beams, stone-flagged floors with underfloor heating in many rooms, log burners and original stone detailing create an authentic farmhouse feel. The plot is low-maintenance and south-facing to the rear, with a summerhouse and cabin currently set up for a hot tub. The property sits at the end of a half-mile unadopted access track for privacy, and it lies within easy reach of walking routes, reservoirs and local village amenities.
Buyers should note important practical considerations: Grade II listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate modernisation. Services are traditional — oil central heating, natural spring water and septic tank drainage — and broadband/mobile signal are limited (very slow/average). The unadopted access road is shared and a public footpath crosses part of the driveway. These factors suit purchasers prepared to manage heritage maintenance and rural-service realities while enjoying a rare, characterful home in a scenic national-park setting.
