Description

Occupying a highly sought-after location, this beautifully presented five-bedroom semi-detached home offers spacious and versatile accommodation arranged over four floors, combining contemporary family living with stunning countryside views.

The property has been thoughtfully improved by the current owners and benefits from new double-glazed uPVC windows throughout, a recently fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, new carpets to three bedrooms, and a tasteful neutral décor, creating a home that is ready to move straight into.

Upon entering, you are welcomed by a long and inviting hallway leading to a spacious bay-fronted living room, where a feature wood-burning stove creates a warm and cosy atmosphere. The separate dining room also benefits from a wood burner, making it the perfect space for family gatherings and entertaining.

To the rear of the property is a beautifully appointed modern kitchen featuring a range of integrated appliances and the added luxury of underfloor heating. The kitchen flows seamlessly into a second living area, creating an excellent family hub. Large bi-fold doors open directly onto the rear garden, allowing plenty of natural light and providing the perfect connection between indoor and outdoor living.

A particular highlight of the property is the substantial tanked cellar, offering exceptional versatility and ready to be utilised as a home gym, cinema room, playroom, office, hobby room, or simply additional storage space, depending on individual needs.

The first floor comprises two generous double bedrooms and a spacious family bathroom. The second floor provides a further three well-proportioned bedrooms including two large doubles, making this an ideal property for growing families or those seeking flexible accommodation for home working.

To the rear, the property enjoys truly outstanding views across open countryside. The west-facing garden benefits from afternoon and evening sunshine, providing an ideal setting for outdoor dining and relaxation. The garden is a manageable size, perfect for those who enjoy gardening without the upkeep of a larger plot, and benefits from a gate providing direct access onto the well-known Temple Fields, offering wonderful countryside walks and leading directly to Buxton's iconic Solomon's Temple.

Further enhancing the home's appeal is a Hive smart heating system, allowing the heating to be controlled remotely via a smartphone for added convenience and energy efficiency.

The property is particularly well placed for family life, being within walking distance of a selection of well-regarded primary and secondary schools. Higher Buxton, with its range of independent shops, cafés and local amenities, is just a short stroll away, while Buxton town centre is also easily accessible on foot, providing a highly convenient lifestyle. For commuters, Buxton railway station is within comfortable walking distance and offers direct rail services to Manchester Piccadilly in approximately one hour.

This exceptional family home combines spacious accommodation, modern features, outstanding views, excellent educational facilities, and an enviable location close to some of Buxton's most beautiful walking routes and amenities.

Early viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate the size, location, and quality of accommodation on offer. Properties of this calibre in such a desirable position rarely remain available for long.
