Set on about a third of an acre, this stone semi offers substantial space, period character and sweeping elevated countryside views. Originally dating from the 1700s, the house combines large principal rooms — including a 24'1 x 12'8 lounge — with a practical layout that can suit growing families or those wanting a flexible home with a separate study/bedroom four.
The plot includes a workshop, basement and space to build a detached garage, giving practical scope for hobbies or storage. The village setting above The Torrs provides a rural feel while being only around 0.5 miles from the nearest train station with links to Manchester, Buxton and beyond. Nearby primary schools are well regarded and local independent shops, cafés and pubs add everyday convenience.
The property has genuine renovation potential but is not fully modernised. The kitchen and some fixtures are dated and will benefit from updating; the original stone walls are likely uninsulated and buyers should consider investment in wall insulation and general modernisation. Broadband speeds are slow in the area and there is a single family bathroom, which may affect larger households.
Overall this is a characterful family home for someone seeking size, views and period charm with scope to add modern comforts and value through targeted improvements.
