An attractive stone farmhouse-style home set in mature grounds on the edge of a picturesque hamlet, just a short distance from Whaley Bridge. The main house offers five bedrooms, generous living spaces and many traditional features such as exposed beams and stonework. A detached one-bedroom stone bungalow in the grounds provides flexible use as a long-term or holiday let, guest suite or relative’s annexe.
The plot is a standout feature: gated drives, cobbled approach, garage, extensive lawns, herbaceous borders, specimen trees and several seating terraces with distant views. Commuter links to Manchester are strong from nearby Whaley Bridge, and local amenities include shops, cafes and good primary schools.
The property is well cared for but does require renovation and updating throughout — this is reflected in the price. Practical issues to note: walls are likely uninsulated (period stone construction), broadband speeds are slow and the house needs improvement to modern standards. Buyers seeking character, scope for improvement and income potential will find real upside here.
