An impressive six-bedroom Victorian detached residence occupying a very large plot near Buxton’s Pavilion Gardens and Opera House. Built c.1898 and retaining high ceilings, ornate fireplaces and oak panelling, the house offers substantial family accommodation across multiple floors, including a library, garden room and flexible second-floor studio. The property includes a single garage, long private driveway and an extensive cellar with wine storage.
The heart of the home is a bespoke, well-equipped kitchen and adjoining morning and garden rooms that frame views toward Corbar Cross. Four principal bedrooms on the first floor all have en-suites; a further en-suite and a versatile studio occupy the second floor, giving excellent scope for multi-generational living or home working. Gardens are mature and private with terraces ideal for outdoor dining and play.
Practical considerations are clear: the stone walls are assumed to be uninsulated and glazing is secondary rather than full modern double glazing, which will impact energy efficiency. The house is served by mains gas boilers and radiators; there are two combi-boilers and a consumer unit in the cellar. Council tax is described as quite expensive and, as with most substantial period homes, ongoing maintenance and sympathetic updating should be expected.
This is best suited to buyers seeking a landmark family home with period character and generous space, or buyers wanting a prominent holiday or second-home base close to the Peak District. The combination of heritage provenance, large rooms and a substantial garden provides strong potential for those prepared to invest in improving energy performance and modern comforts.
