Three reception rooms plus three bedrooms, unusually large internal footprint
A spacious, characterful stone cottage in central Buxton, offered chain-free and with clear scope for sympathetic restoration. The house retains original features — cast-iron fireplaces, exposed beams and high ceilings — across three generous reception rooms and three first-floor bedrooms, providing rare footprint for a town-centre property.
The property is sold freehold and benefits from gas central heating and two bathrooms, one en-suite. It sits close to shops, transport links and local amenities, making daily errands and social life easily walkable. The small front garden and rear yard with brick outhouse offer low-maintenance outdoor space.
Important practical points: the house requires renovation throughout — the kitchen, bathrooms and decorative finishes are dated and will need updating. There is a high local flood risk, crime levels are recorded as very high and broadband speeds are slow; rear access is pedestrian only (no vehicular access). Prospective buyers should commission a full survey and flood-risk checks before committing.
This is best suited to a buyer seeking a character renovation project or a downsizer/retiree who prioritises central location and original features over modern presentation. No onward chain means a straightforward purchase route for someone prepared to invest in upgrades and make the most of the property’s large internal space.
