Moorwood Farm is an imposing period stone house set within four acres of gardens, orchard, grazing and woodland, offering exceptional Peak District panoramas. Across four levels the home retains abundant original character — exposed beams, stone-flagged floors, fireplaces and bespoke stained glass — while providing flexible family living with three reception rooms and five double bedrooms.
The property suits buyers seeking privacy and land: a long private lane leads to a semi-rural setting at the top of a no-through road, yet New Mills and Disley are a short walk or drive away with commuter rail links. Useful stone outbuildings, a double garage with workshop and a former-stables single garage create scope for conversion or equestrian use, subject to consents.
Practical details are straightforward: mains gas central heating, double glazing installed post-2002 and an electric vehicle wallbox are in place. However, this is a historic home on a large plot and will need sensitive upkeep and potential modernization in places — for example some external stone walls are assumed uninsulated, broadband speeds are slow in the area, and council tax is high.
This house will particularly appeal to families and buyers wanting land, character and conversion potential rather than a fully modern turnkey home. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the views, scale and the rare opportunity to own a substantial period property with versatile outbuildings in the Peak District fringe.
