The Cavalier is a substantial 17th‑century former coaching inn and farmhouse, professionally restored to combine original period features with discreet modern upgrades. Five bedrooms, two en‑suites and a large open‑plan kitchen/living diner create flexible family spaces, while stone fireplaces, exposed beams and flagstone floors provide authentic character throughout.
Set on a very large landscaped plot in a quiet Peak District hamlet, the property benefits from a gated forecourt, garage, multiple outbuildings and parking for several vehicles. A generous conservatory and terraces open onto private lawns and elevated views across limestone uplands — ideal for families who value outdoor space and countryside living.
Practical points to note: heating is oil‑fired with underfloor heating in parts of the ground floor and an oil storage tank on site; drainage is to a private sewage treatment plant and there is no mains gas. The EPC rating is F and council tax is high, so running costs are likely above average despite recent renovation. The adjacent refurbished stone barn offers genuine potential for home working or dependent accommodation subject to consents.
For a buyer seeking a character home in a protected National Park setting, The Cavalier presents an uncommon combination of historic charm, modern comforts and scope for further adaptation. Its remoter village location gives privacy and very low crime, but check service arrangements (oil supply, sewage, council tax) before committing.
