9 Bedrooms Farmhouse for sale in Tintwistle, Glossop SK13 | £ 840,000

Property Description

Full description What a fantastic opportunity to acquire this substantial 9 bedroomed Victorian farmhouse residence standing in approximately 1.7 acres of gardens and grounds nestling into the hillside overlooking Vale House Reservoir in the Peak District National Park. The property is currently shared by two branches of the same family each occupying around half of the building which comfortably divides into two wings without the need for any internal structural changes. Quite simply a fabulous rural residence in a stunning location!

About vale house farm Vale House Farm is a Victorian period property which was purchased by the current owners in the late 1980s as a semi derelict farmhouse and adjoining barns, which after a full programme of renovation and modernisation, provided idyllic homes for the two young families, in a peaceful rural setting. There are many original features still to be found within the property including mullioned windows, beams, and the exposed stonework of the barn arches and former window openings. The views are absolutely fantastic from virtually every window looking out over the gardens, grounds, surrounding countryside, and far beyond across the reservoir. Although this fabulous residence is currently used as two separate homesteads, it offers potential for alternative uses - maybe release some of the building to create and develop a holiday let or B&B business, both within the main residence and perhaps within the outbuildings if they were converted, still leaving you with plenty of room for your main family home. The Peak District is a popular tourist destination with a good demand for such accommodation. Maybe an outward bounds company would be interested in taking a look or it may even appeal to those organisations who offer assisted living services. Of course, all the aforementioned would be subject to you gaining any necessary consents, change of use, etc.

The site amounts to around 1.7 acres which comprises the garden areas, surrounding grassland, sweeping driveway giving way to ample parking and turning area in front of the farmhouse, and a block of outbuildings.
