Description

Nestled in the heart of Whaley Bridge, with a unique combination of proximity to the village, a two minute walk to the station for an easy commute towards Manchester or Buxton, yet perfect seclusion, this stunning Edwardian Period house boasts five generously proportioned bedrooms, making it a haven for families. Upon entering, you're greeted by three reception rooms characterised by their elegance and warmth, complemented by a full glass conservatory that extends the living space. The recently fitted kitchen is a focal point of the property, featuring a striking central island that invites gatherings and culinary creations. Continuing to charm, the house retains many original features, adding character and depth to its allure. Bedroom one is further enhanced by the deluxe convenience of an ensuite, offering a private retreat within this gracious abode. Outside, the castellated frontage is a nod to the property's architectural heritage, hinting at the unique blend of old-world charm and contemporary comforts awaiting within. A driveway provides parking for up to four cars, a practical touch in this prime location. Tastefully updated by the current owners, this home is a true gem awaiting its next chapter.

The outside space of this property is a testament to thoughtful design and natural beauty in harmony. Set against a picturesque hillside backdrop, the garden unfolds in a series of tiers that maximise the stunning panoramic views over Whaley Bridge and towards Chinley Churn. A lower pathway bordered by a mature treeline introduces the enchanting setting, leading to a neatly manicured lawn area enclosed by a quaint picket fence. Ascending to the Indian stone paved terrace, outdoor living takes centre stage as it offers an idyllic spot for al fresco dining and relaxing moments. The tiered garden design unfolds with bold retaining walls and staircases leading to a captivating summer house flanked by traditional dry stone walls. Adorned with multiple seating areas strategically positioned across various levels, including a rustic wood pergola, the garden ensures you can bask in sunlight throughout the day and relish beautiful sunsets in the evening. Accessible via a private road, the secure, gated gravel driveway provides ample parking for four vehicles, bordered by lush greenery that seamlessly integrates with the enchanting tiered garden landscape, featuring two practical wooden garden sheds for added convenience.
