Summary - Highfields Farm, Onecote ST13 7RZ
5 bed 4 bath Farm House
Large rural estate with holiday cottage and 8 acres near hiking trails.
Restored stone farmhouse with original beams and exposed stonework
Highfields Farm is a substantial restored stone farmhouse set within 8 acres in the Peak District National Park. The main house offers five bedrooms, three reception rooms and traditional features such as exposed stone walls and beams, while a separately finished two-bedroom holiday cottage (Herdwick Barn) provides immediate rental or guest accommodation. Mature lawns, agricultural outbuildings and a detached garage complete the rural setting and support equestrian or smallholding uses.
This property will appeal to families seeking space and privacy, and to buyers looking for an income stream from holiday lets or small-scale farming. The large plot and existing buildings create scope for equestrian facilities, hobby farming, or flexible conversion projects, while the cottage delivers immediate letting potential close to popular hiking trails and National Park attractions.
Buyers should note practical constraints: heating is oil-fired with supplementary wood stove, mains broadband is very slow (predicted top download 3 Mbps), and mobile signal is limited. Services are private — water from a borehole and drainage to a septic tank — and the building’s solid stone walls are assumed to lack insulation, which can increase heating costs. The EPC rating is E, and some energy and connectivity upgrades will be needed to modernise running costs and comfort.
Overall, Highfields Farm combines classic farmhouse character, extensive land, and income potential, balanced by clear maintenance and energy-efficiency considerations. It’s a rare opportunity for someone wanting seclusion, scope for equestrian pursuits, and a workable holiday-let component within the Peak District landscape.
