Set on a sheltered hillside above Combs Reservoir, this late-18th-century gritstone farmhouse combines authentic period character with flexible living spaces. The main house retains exposed beams, original floorboards, deep window reveals and two large reception rooms centred on substantial fireplaces. Principal bedroom with dressing room and en-suite, three further first-floor rooms and three attic spaces accessed by a fixed staircase offer scope for adaptation subject to consents.
The detached double garage includes a self-contained annexe with open-plan living/bedroom and bathroom — ideal for guests, long-stay visitors or ancillary rental income (consents may be required for business use). A small enclosed paddock, tiered lawned gardens and ample courtyard parking sit within approximately 0.80 acres, providing practical outdoor space for smallholding, paddock grazing or garden projects.
Practical details are straightforward but important: the house is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and could complicate structural or aesthetic changes. Services include oil-fired central heating, a private borehole water supply and septic tank drainage; the property has double glazing installed before 2002 and an EPC rating of E. Council Tax is Band G and maintenance of historic fabric should be anticipated.
This is a home for buyers seeking authentic countryside living with ancillary income or multi-generational flexibility, and for those comfortable managing the responsibilities of a listed rural property. Its elevated setting and excellent local access to Peak District walking, nearby villages and Buxton make it particularly appealing to families and part-time residents wanting a comfortable base with future potential.
