Summary - THE OLD FARM HOUSE TUNSTEAD MILTON HIGH PEAK SK23 7ES
Late‑18th century Grade II listed gritstone farmhouse with historic features
Tucked into the hillside above Combs Reservoir, The Old Farm House is a late‑18th‑century gritstone farmhouse offering elevated panoramic valley views and characterful period interiors. The principal house retains exposed beams, original floorboards, deep stone window reveals and a large walk‑in fireplace; the layout includes generous sitting and living rooms, a traditional kitchen with AGA, principal bedroom with dressing room and en‑suite, two further bedrooms, study and attic rooms accessible via a fixed staircase.
Set in about 0.80 acres, the plot includes a stone‑walled courtyard, established tiered gardens, a small enclosed paddock suitable for smallholding use, and a detached double garage with a self‑contained annexe above. The annexe provides flexible accommodation for guests, multi‑generational living or potential rental/business use (subject to consent). There is ample off‑road parking and direct access to surrounding Peak District countryside and local amenities.
Notable practical points are clear and important: the house is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and require specialist consent for many works; the property uses borehole water and a septic tank, and oil‑fired central heating with a boiler and radiators. The attic rooms offer scope for conversion but any development will need listed‑building and planning approvals. The current EPC rating is E and Council Tax is Band G, reflecting running costs to consider.
This property will suit buyers seeking a substantial historic home with outdoor space and ancillary income potential, such as families, smallholding hobbyists or those wanting an annexe for guests or rental. It rewards sympathetic updating rather than wholesale modernisation; buyers should budget for listed‑building expertise and routine maintenance typical of older stone houses.
