Description

“A beautifully presented home with far-reaching views and the countryside on its doorstep.”

This stylish two-bedroom semi-detached home occupies a peaceful position in the popular Harpur Hill area of Buxton, enjoying impressive views across the surrounding landscape. Recently upgraded and ready to move straight into, the property offers a modern kitchen and bathroom, two well-proportioned bedrooms and off-road parking. An ideal choice for first-time buyers, professionals or those seeking a low-maintenance home within easy reach of Buxton town centre and the beautiful Peak District countryside.

Denise White Estate Agents Comments - A Home with Space, Views and a Wonderful Sense of Escape

There is something particularly appealing about a home that gives you the feeling of being away from it all, whilst still offering everything you need for comfortable modern living. Occupying a generous plot in a peaceful semi-rural setting, this beautifully presented two-bedroom home does exactly that.

From the moment you arrive, the combination of space, tranquillity and far-reaching countryside views creates an immediate sense of calm. Inside, the accommodation has been thoughtfully updated by the current owners, blending contemporary finishes with the practical layout of a traditional home.

The spacious lounge provides a comfortable place to relax, whilst the modern kitchen/diner forms a natural hub for everyday life, equally suited to a quiet morning coffee or evenings spent cooking and entertaining. A useful WC and rear porch/utility area add further practicality.

Upstairs, two well-proportioned bedrooms and a stylish contemporary bathroom provide comfortable private accommodation, with the property offering an ideal balance between manageable day-to-day living and generous outdoor space.

It is outside, however, where this home really comes into its own. The generous rear garden provides plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors, with uninterrupted open countryside views creating a beautiful backdrop. Whether enjoying a summer evening, watching the seasons change or simply taking a moment to appreciate the surrounding landscape, the setting is a real feature of the property.

And then there is the substantial summerhouse. Divided into two rooms, this versatile space opens up a world of possibilities, perhaps a dedicated home office, creative studio, gym, hobby room or somewhere to escape with a good book. It is the sort of space that can evolve with the way you live.

With parking to both the front and rear, modern improvements throughout, uPVC double glazing, gas central heating and no onward chain, this is a home that offers more than simply somewhere to live. It provides the opportunity to enjoy a quieter pace of life, with space to breathe and beautiful countryside views to enjoy every day.

Location - Harpur Hill is a popular residential area on the outskirts of Buxton, offering a peaceful setting with local amenities and easy access to the town centre.

Buxton offers an excellent quality of life, combining the charm of a historic spa town with modern amenities. Residents benefit from a wide range of shops, supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, leisure facilities, and healthcare services, as well as beautiful parks and easy access to the Peak District National Park. The town has a selection of well-regarded primary and secondary schools, making it popular with families. Buxton is well connected by road via the A6 and A515, with regular rail services to Manchester and bus routes to surrounding towns, providing convenient access for commuters and visitors alike.

Why We Love It !! - We love how well this home has been looked after. The owners have clearly taken great pride in it and it shows throughout. It is really nicely presented, with the improvements they have made giving it a fresh and modern feel, whilst still retaining the feeling of a comfortable home.

The views are a real highlight for us. The outlook from the rear garden is simply lovely and gives the property a wonderful sense of space. It is the sort of view you can enjoy every day, whether you're out in the garden, sitting in the summerhouse or simply looking out from the house.

We also think the summerhouse is a great addition. With two separate rooms, it gives the new owner the flexibility to use the space in whatever way suits them, whether that's working from home, having a gym, pursuing a hobby or simply having somewhere to escape to.

Overall, we think this is a home that has been genuinely loved by its current owners and is ready for someone else to enjoy. It is well presented, practical, has a generous garden and, above all, has those lovely open views which really set it apart.
