Spacious period living with private gardens and far-reaching rural views.
Grade II listed Georgian house built in 1792 (restrictions apply)
Set within open countryside, this Grade II listed Georgian house blends historic character with generous family space. Built in 1792 and recently renovated, the home retains original features such as high ceilings, sash windows and York stone flooring while offering a modern kitchen, Amdega conservatory and two updated bathrooms.
The plot is notable: a large, well-kept south-facing garden, private drive with space for four cars, and sweeping views toward Mellor and surrounding fields. Practical advantages include a bus stop at the drive end, a nearby village station with routes to Manchester and Sheffield, and easy access to the Peak Forest canal towpath for walks.
Important practical points: the property’s Grade II listing protects many original elements but will restrict alterations and may complicate future works. Heating is by electric storage heaters and broadband speeds are slow, factors to consider for running costs and remote working. Council tax is high.
For families seeking character, space and countryside living within commuting reach, this house offers a rare combination of period charm, large rooms and private grounds. Buyers should factor listed-status constraints and the property’s energy and connectivity limitations when planning long-term use or improvements.
