About this property

  • Currently a very successful holiday letting property this delightful stone built traditional farmhouse has been sympathetically renovated to offer luxurious, spacious accommodation. With up to seven bedrooms in the original farmhouse and its adjoining converted barn, with both wings having the benefit of their own kitchen and living space, making it an ideal choice for larger or extended families or those who want the option of a letting income. Both of the kitchens include ample space for dining tables. Within the original farmhouse there is a large laundry room and, along with the barn, a cloakroom with w.c.
    The wings of the house are connected by a beautiful dining room with a gas stove and space for a twelve seat dining table; the perfect place for getting together. There are two cosy and comfortable sitting rooms, one featuring an open fire and the other a wood-burning stove. There are seven spacious bedrooms, two with luxury en-suite facilities and one of which is on the ground floor. The seventh bedroom, accessed through a quirky half-height doorway, provides additional accommodation that will appeal to older children. As well as the en-suite facilities there are a further three stylish bathrooms, one of which boasts a luxurious freestanding bath, and there are two cloakrooms with w.c. on the ground floor.
    The southern wing of the barn houses the two storey high bouldering/climbing room which could readily convert to a gym or other use if required. There is under-floor oil fired central heating to the barn.
    Beautiful countryside views over its 35 acres lie to the front with an enclosed garden and play area, a lovely patio area perfect for alfresco dining and a gated enclosed pond. A roll off roof observatory makes the most of the unspoilt night sky, free from light pollution.
    The access driveway leads to a generous parking and turning area and leads past the three large agricultural buildings, one of which provides useful secure storage and the others are currently used to house cattle but offer potential for other uses. The land is currently let on an annual rolling grazing tenancy.
    Services: Mains water and electricity are connected. Private drainage.

Additional information

  • Directions: On the A6 between Buxton and Bakewell look for the Waterloo Inn and turn into Priestcliffe Road opposite. Stay on Priestcliffe Road going straight across crossroads and passing Priestcliffe Hall Farm on the left. In the hamlet of Priestcliffe, just after passing a small pole-mounted post box and yellow grit box on your right, take a sharp right turn to almost double back on yourself. Stay on this narrow lane for 0.4 miles, passing several buildings on the left. You will eventually see a driveway to your left with a row of farm buildings alongside it and a farm house set back (also on the left). This is Rock Lodge Farm.
