An imposing late-Victorian detached house on a very large plot in the heart of Buxton, offering generous family living across multiple floors. The property retains abundant period character — high ceilings, ornate fireplaces, oak panelling, sash windows and a library — combined with contemporary comforts such as a luxury bespoke kitchen, multiple en-suite bathrooms and a garden room with views to Corbar Cross. Its provenance and proximity to the Pavilion Gardens and Buxton Opera House underline the location’s cultural appeal.
Accommodation is flexible and substantial: six bedrooms, five bathrooms, formal reception rooms, a study, cellar storage including a caged wine store, and attic-level studio space suitable for home working or hobbies. There is a long private driveway, single garage with electric roller door and extensive mature gardens laid out over terraces and lawns — well suited to family life and outdoor entertaining. Practical features include two combi‑boilers, secondary glazing to many sash windows, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband.
Notable points to consider: the stone external walls are likely uninsulated (as built) and the house would benefit from energy-efficiency work. Council tax is described as quite expensive. Internally the original principal bathroom has been repurposed, so some circulation and bathroom access arrangements may require reconfiguration to suit certain households. Overall, this is a rare, characterful family home with strong heritage, ample space and scope to modernise services and thermal performance for long-term comfort.
