Brookcliff House is a striking 17th/19th‑century stone residence set in elevated grounds at The Wash, offering generous Georgian proportions, high ceilings and period detail. The main house provides spacious reception rooms, a refitted breakfast kitchen, five bedrooms, dressing room and four bathrooms, while the attached self‑contained annexe (Brookcliff Cottage) gives private one‑level accommodation — ideal for guests, multigenerational living or a holiday let. Mature landscaped gardens, ornamental ponds, raised sun terraces and far‑reaching countryside views complete the setting.
The property has been well maintained and sympathetically upgraded in recent years, with double glazing installed and modern kitchen appliances. Practical outbuildings include a double garage, sizeable workshop, utility/laundry and cellar/store room, plus parking for several cars off a shared driveway. Commuter links by road and rail connect to Buxton, Stockport, Manchester and Sheffield, while excellent mobile and fast broadband make remote working straightforward.
Buyers should note material running and retrofit considerations: the sandstone/limestone walls are as built with no assumed insulation, which can mean higher heating costs and potential expense to insulate sympathetically in a conservation area. The EPC is D and the home is in Council Tax Band F, so energy bills and tax are likely to be above average. There is a medium flood risk for the area to factor into insurance and future plans.
Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale, character and countryside position. For families seeking an established country home with flexible accommodation, detached annexe and wide outdoor space, this property offers rare proportions and scope — balanced by the practical costs of maintaining and upgrading a historic stone house.
