Substantial workshop/garage and covered patio

Set within the Peak District National Park, this three-bedroom barn conversion combines period character with recent refurbishment. The stone elevations, reclaimed timber floors and feature stone detailing retain authentic charm while an extension and modernised services deliver comfortable, practical living across 1,277 sq ft. Large lawns, mature fruit trees and a pond give the gardens an established, private feel; there’s also a covered patio and a substantial workshop/garage for hobbies or storage.
The ground floor centres on a generous farmhouse-style kitchen and a sizeable lounge with display recess and original stonework. A utility and ground-floor WC add everyday convenience. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a contemporary shower room; the layout suits a family seeking country life or buyers after a weekend retreat with easy access to Buxton and local rail links.
Practical points to note: heating is oil-fired with radiator distribution and the stone external walls are likely uninsulated (assumed), which may affect running costs and future retrofit planning. Broadband speeds are very slow here despite excellent mobile signal — important if you need reliable high-speed internet. The property is freehold, lies in a very low-crime hamlet setting and is not in a flood-risk area.
Overall this is a picture-postcard rural home that will suit buyers who prioritise outdoor space, character and privacy. It offers ready-to-live-in accommodation after recent works, but buyers who want the highest energy efficiency or fast broadband should allow for further investment.
