Located in Peak District National Park with open countryside views to Mam Tor
Set in the farming hamlet of Wormhill within the Peak District National Park, The Potting Shed and adjoining Gardener’s Rest are offered as two self-contained units on a large plot with long rural views to Mam Tor. The main bungalow-style house provides a generous open-plan lounge with underfloor heating, a dining kitchen, two double bedrooms and a fitted bathroom. The separate annexe offers an open-plan kitchen/living/sleeping area and shower room — ideal for holiday letting or multigenerational use.
Practical strengths include off-street parking for multiple vehicles, mature gardens, a sedum (green) roof on the lounge, uPVC double glazing and LPG-fired central heating with a boiler and radiators. Planning is already in place for holiday lettings and the properties have a proven history of successful letting, making this a clear opportunity for an investor or buyer seeking an income stream or flexible accommodation.
Buyers should note material considerations: broadband speeds are very slow, mobile signal is only average, and heating runs on propane (LPG) rather than mains gas. The buildings date from the late 1970s/early 1980s and, while presented in good order, may benefit from modernisation in places to maximise rental or resale value. The detached, rural setting means services and amenities are accessed via Buxton or nearby villages.
Overall this is a rare combination of two self-contained properties, extensive parking and gardens, and planning for holiday use in a Peak District hamlet. It will suit an investor wanting an established holiday-let setup, a family seeking flexible accommodation and income potential, or anyone after peaceful countryside living with strong views and outdoor space.
