Set on a generous quarter-acre plot in desirable Old Glossop, this substantial five-bedroom detached home suits growing and established families who value space and outdoor access. The house combines period stone character with contemporary updates — large reception rooms, a bright garden room, and an open-plan dining kitchen create comfortable, flexible living on the ground floor.
One wing has annex-like features suitable for a dependent relative or semi-independent living, with accessibility potential. Upstairs are four double bedrooms, four bathrooms and a walk-in wardrobe across the first and second floors, providing private accommodation and guest space. The plot offers extensive parking, a paved patio, decked seating area, lawns and mature screening for good privacy.
Practical highlights include double glazing installed after 2002, mains gas heating with boiler, radiators and underfloor heating, a substantial garage and a useful utility room. The location places countryside walks, pubs and local amenities on your doorstep, and several well-regarded primary and secondary schools are nearby — a strong draw for families.
Buyers should note the house was built around 1900–1929 in sandstone/limestone and the masonry is assumed to have no external insulation; improving thermal efficiency may be required. Council tax is high; ongoing running costs should be factored into budgets. Overall, this is a large, characterful home with versatile accommodation and clear scope to modernise and personalise.
