Set on about an acre in the quiet hamlet of Blackwell within the Peak District National Park, this detached stone bungalow offers generous plot size and clear potential for a comfortable rural home or country retreat. The single-storey layout currently provides a lounge, dining kitchen, utility, two bedrooms, bathroom/WC and a useful under-property workshop, plus a detached garage and driveway. Broad pastoral views to the rear and a traditional stone exterior retain genuine character.
The interior requires a general update and modernisation—period features and a 1970s-style fireplace are present but fittings, finishes and services will need attention. The property is suitable for buyers who want to renovate and add value, or for someone seeking a downsize/retirement home in a peaceful, low-crime rural setting. Fast broadband and average mobile signal support working from home or staying connected.
This sale is by the Modern Method of Auction. Bids must be logged before the closing date (17th September, 1:00pm) and the buyer completes within the 56-day reservation period. A Buyer Information Pack is available for £300 (incl. VAT) and a non-refundable Reservation Fee of 4.5% of the purchase price (minimum £6,600 incl. VAT) is payable when reserving. Prospective bidders should ensure mortgage readiness and review the pack before bidding.
Practical positives include a very large plot, detached garage, workshop and countryside outlook; practical negatives are the need for renovation, single bathroom, remote hamlet location (limited local services), and extra costs associated with the auction route. For buyers who value privacy, outdoor space and scope to improve, this property represents a rare opportunity to create a bespoke single-storey home in a protected national park setting.
