Set on a large, private plot close to Buxton town centre, this three-bedroom detached stone house offers strong long-term potential for a family or buyer seeking generous outdoor space. The property retains period character — pitched slate roofs, chimneys and large windows — and benefits from gated off-road parking, a timber garage/stable and mature gardens that back onto woodland with river-side vegetation.
Internally the layout is straightforward: porch, entrance hall, separate living and dining rooms, kitchen, ground-floor WC, three first-floor bedrooms and a family bathroom. The living room has a multi-fuel burner and the house likely has high Victorian ceilings, but many internal finishes are dated and will need updating. The property is chain free and has scope to improve or extend subject to planning permission.
Buyers should note practical points plainly: the house is stone-built with assumed no wall insulation, EPC rating E, and will require cosmetic refurbishment to kitchen, bathrooms and some internal finishes. Council tax is high (Band F) and crime in the immediate area is above average, which may be relevant for some purchasers. There is no flooding risk and local connectivity is good, with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband.
This is a sensible choice for a family wanting substantial outdoor privacy and character, or for someone looking to add value through sympathetic updating or an extension (subject to planning). The large plot, riverside aspect and outbuildings are standout features that could be retained and enhanced while modernising the living spaces.
