Summary - 33, Northern Common, Dronfield Woodhouse S18 8XJ
5 bed 3 bath Cottage
Large restored 5-bed cottage on generous south-facing grounds, near Peak District access.
Approximately 3,400–3,500 sq ft of accommodation
Pear Tree Cottage is a large, sympathetically refurbished five-bedroom period home set within about two-thirds of an acre on the semi-rural fringe of Dronfield. Built circa 1720, the detached stone farmhouse blends original character—exposed beams, stone fireplaces and refurbished Georgian-style sash windows—with recent upgrades including new radiators, a modern kitchen and multiple newly refitted bathrooms. The house extends to roughly 3,400–3,500 sq ft, providing extensive family living space with a garden room, conservatory and separate day/family room that take advantage of the southerly aspect.
The grounds are a standout asset: private, landscaped gardens, a productive kitchen garden and wide lawns that could accommodate recreational uses. Practical outbuildings include a rebuilt three-car stone garage (power and inspection pit), substantial stone stable with loft and additional stone stores. The stable previously had planning consent to convert into an annex/studio (now lapsed) and still offers strong potential subject to obtaining fresh approvals.
Buyers should note a few material considerations. The property sits in a conservation area, which can restrict alterations. The stone walls are original and are assumed to have no cavity insulation, so further thermal improvements may be limited or require specialist solutions. Council tax is described as quite expensive, and the former planning permission for the stable has lapsed. Overall, this is a high-quality period family home for those seeking space, character and substantial private grounds close to countryside access and local amenities.
