Set on a very large plot backing onto woodland, this substantial 1930s detached family house offers five good bedrooms, three bathrooms and two reception rooms across well-proportioned floors. The home blends traditional detail—bay windows, decorative fireplace—with practical upgrades such as sealed-unit double glazing and gas central heating. Mature, formal gardens with multiple patios, a stream and greenhouse create private outdoor living and strong kerb appeal.
Internally there is flexible accommodation including a ground-floor annexe/bedroom six, generous cellar rooms (with boiler) and useful eaves/storage — valuable for a growing family or for home working. A double garage and wide driveway provide plentiful off-street parking. The property sits within easy reach of Buxton town centre and several Good-rated primary schools, making it convenient for family life.
Buyers should note a few material points honestly: the cavity walls were built without insulation (assumed) and the glazing install dates are unknown, so further thermal or energy upgrades may be needed. The property lies in a medium flood-risk zone and the area records above-average crime, which may affect insurance and running costs. Council tax is described as expensive. Overall, this is a rare, characterful family home with strong outdoor assets and sensible opportunity for targeted modernisation.
