Panoramic views over Bakewell and the Peak District
Light-filled, mid-century detached bungalow perched above Bakewell with truly panoramic views across the town, River Wye and Peak District countryside. The split-level living space feels generous for a single-storey home, with large picture windows, a flowing living/dining area and French doors that open straight onto tiered, landscaped gardens and terraces.
Practical daily living is well catered for: three double bedrooms, two bathrooms, an integral garage and off-road parking. The property benefits from double and some triple glazing, mains gas central heating and a large plot that gives privacy and multiple seating areas for sun and views.
There is clear scope to add value: attic space could be converted subject to consents, and the accommodation will suit downsizers or small families who want spacious ground-floor living within easy walking distance of Bakewell’s shops, cafés and riverside walks. Local schools include Lady Manners, and town amenities are a short stroll away.
Be upfront about a few material points: the home's energy rating is D, and council tax is above average — both worth considering for running costs. The property dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s, so some systems and finishes may benefit from updating over time. Attic conversion requires planning and building consent before works proceed.
