Additional 35 acres available. **Description** Accessed via a private driveway, the farmhouse sits in a commanding position above the River Manifold, surrounded by gently undulating pastureland and mature woodland. The property seamlessly blends character and practicality, with a handsome six bedroom residence at its heart and an extensive suite of modern and traditional outbuildings that cater perfectly to both equestrian and rural lifestyles. This delightful period farmhouse itself is an elegant and substantial dwelling, steeped in character and thoughtfully updated to suit modern family life. Arranged over three floors, the interior retains many original features throughout from exposed oak beams and stone mullioned windows to flagstone floors and fireplaces all enhanced by tasteful and sympathetic renovation. On the ground floor, a spacious farmhouse kitchen forms the true heart of the home, complete with an Aga, granite worktops, and French doors opening out onto a paved terrace and manicured gardens beyond, ideal for the warmer Summer months. The adjoining sitting room, bathed in light from dual-aspect windows, offers a cosy and welcoming atmosphere, while the drawing room features an open range fireplace and classic detailing. A formal dining room opens through oak patio doors to the side of the property. Practicality is also prioritised, with a generous utility room, boot room, separate WC, and a study that provides an excellent space for home working or additional living use. The first floor hosts four generously proportioned double bedrooms, including a luxurious principal suite with exposed beams, pitch pine flooring, and French doors opening onto a private balcony that takes full advantage of the far-reaching valley views. The en suite bathroom has been recently refurbished to a high standard. A second en suite bedroom with walk-in dressing room, two further bedrooms, one of which has an attic room, currently used as an additional bedroom but equally suitable as a playroom or quiet retreat and a large family bathroom complete the first floor. A charming stone spiral staircase leads from the main landing down to the hallway below. The second floor features two additional double bedrooms, each offering stunning views across the farmland and hills. Externally the gardens surrounding the farmhouse are exceptional, thoughtfully landscaped and lovingly maintained, they combine vibrant cottage planting with mature trees, wildflower borders, and areas of peaceful lawn. A National Trust Alitex greenhouse sits discreetly to one side, accompanied by cold frames and raised vegetable beds, all ideally placed for the enthusiastic gardener. To the front, sweeping lawns lead to well-stocked flowerbeds that are filled with perennials and heritage roses, while to the side, an orchard offers mature fruit trees and a quiet woodland enclave that has become a haven for local wildlife. There is a traditional stone garden shed for tool storage within the grounds. The land extends to just over 8 acres, with an additional 35 acres available by separate negotiation, arranged in a ring-fenced formation around the homestead. The majority of the additional land is laid to productive pasture, ideal for grazing and mowing, with fields divided into well-maintained paddocks enclosed by a mix of dry stone walls, hedgerows, and post and rail fencing. A 40m x 20m manège with a Martin Collins Clopf fibre surface provides superb year-round riding conditions and is bordered by post and horse rail fencing, with climbing roses planted into the banks. To the west of the farmhouse, amongst a small area of woodland, there is a grass schooling area purposefully retained as an additional equestrian training space. Internal tracks provide easy access between fields, and roadside access is available to parcels on the far side of the farm. The farmyard plays host to a comprehensive suite of buildings, serving both agricultural and equestrian uses, and offering potential for further development, subject to the relevant planning permissions. To the east of the farmhouse sits a large four-bay steel portal frame building with roller shutter doors and concrete flooring, ideal for machinery storage or livestock accommodation. A second three-bay portal frame shed houses three internal stables with a mezzanine storage area above. Two traditional stone barns offer further equestrian amenities one with foaling stables on the ground floor and a gym space above, the other divided into a tack room and wash area below, and flexible storage or conversion potential above. Additional single storey stone barns provide further stabling, a feed room, and a horse wash area, each opening onto a generous concrete yard and additional workshop space,. A charming block-built barn houses traditional livestock stalls as well as a dedicated laundry and WC. Nearby, a brick-built workshop and polytunnel (previously used for horticultural production) complete the suite of buildings. A dedicated hardstanding area currently used for fodder storage offers scope for future building development, subject to planning. **Location** Fawside Farm enjoys a peaceful yet highly accessible location just outside the village of Longnor, a thriving Peak District community with a local shop, pub, primary school, and church, all within a mile of the property.
