Benstor House is a substantial period farmhouse with a self-contained two‑bed cottage, extensive traditional outbuildings and about 4.68 acres of land in the Peak District National Park. The site includes limestone barns, three stables, paddocks and a large garage with a lofty space above that offers clear scope for conversion or creating a separate dwelling. Panoramic upland views and large established gardens make this a rare rural opportunity for equestrian use, hobby farming, holiday letting or multi‑generational living.
The main house provides deceptively spacious living rooms, parquet floors and generous bedrooms; the cottage is characterful with beams and an independent layout. Buildings have power, lighting and water to many outbuildings, and parking for multiple vehicles with roadside field access. The location is peaceful, in an established farming community with low crime and excellent nearby primary and secondary schools.
Buyers should note the property requires renovation and some modernisation: the EPC rating is E, walls are likely uninsulated, heating is oil‑fired, and the glazing install date is unknown. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is only average — important for home‑based businesses or letting. The lot will be sold at auction, with purchaser charges and pre‑registration requirements; budget for the documentation charge and any conversion or repair costs.
For purchasers seeking rural space and development potential, this holding offers genuine uplift possibilities but will suit those prepared to manage renovation, fuel and connectivity limitations. Viewings and surveys are recommended before bidding so buyers understand the scale of works and costs involved.
